I have been looking at this kit from extreme dimensions. It seems to be an exact copy of the admiration kit. Does anyone here have any experiences/input on this kit? Rather go with one from local because shipping to Canada from Japan or Australia is murder.
there are few guy on ebaymotors in the states that sell the few different kit for our 147's in the duraflex stuff.........i think for a better price then that too
That one for $199 is too bad they wont ship to Canada. I can get one just like it shipped to me and everything for $600. Beats paying $2000+ for JDM kits.
Does anyone here have experience with the duraflex stuff in terms of fitment? Do these kits generally require a lot of modification to get them to fit nicely?
ive heard about some of these knock off jap kits are sometimes a pain in the ass to fit need to redril holes ect,you might need to bog it up a touch here and there

Speaking from experience with a genuine brand new "real" jdm kit, it was probably about Half the work of a knockoff, but still not perfect. They mark the holes but don't drill them because they know they can't manufacture perfect. I had to do a little bit of shaving here and there and a fair bit of drilling, lining back up, drilling again, etc.
Basically, in my opinion, most knock off kits are pretty good these days and you'll probably needa do similar levels of work. If you want it to bolt straight up no fuss, get second hand that someone else has already done the fitting work on. If you want it to be perfect, get genuine.. if you just want a kit that looks good, knockoffs are fine too. _________________
