Default Erebuni Body kit

Hey fellow SC owners, Nopi is right down the street from where I stay and I found this kit. It's called Erebuni and looks like this http://www.nopionline.com/nopistore/...c=L0850591.jpg
It's 655.00 and looks like it might be alright but I need to know from you all first.

If you will check out the stickies above I think there is an aero fitment guide for the SC.

i have always liked that lip, but i would say go with the origional... not the erribuni copy. i think the real kit is made by vertex. cant quite remember though. the sides look better with the origional kit too.

I just ordered an Erebuni front lip directly from them for 229 US. The original is by Evolution and would probably take 3 months to get and cost 3 times as much.

I've heard Erebuni is poor quality but for the price you can't go wrong. If I destroy it on a curb who cares haha

They are in stock in NY and at their Cali warehouse. They said it would arrive in 5 days. I'll throw up some pics when it arrives next week.

So I guess theres mixed opinions about this particular kit. I just dont want to pay over 1000 for a kit. But if the kit is weak and is going to look bad, I really don't want it

As long as the fitment is good and you like it I say go for it. Sooner or later fiberglass will break whether its vertex or a knock off unless u get a poly kit.

That lip may flow well with 97+ skirts.

im not saying its not good, im just saying that if thats the price, i would look into the real kit. i dont know what the price is, but most of the time fitment is a lot better with authentic kits. regardless, the lip looks hot. it probably would look great with the 97 sides. i drive my car everyday so i cant knock saving munny on something that runs a risk of getting cracked... therefor if i got one, it would probably be the eribuni, unless i got another daily driver.

I Have The 97+ Sides And Front On My Car Would It Be Wise To Just Buy The Back Bumper Lip From One Of The Body Kits That Drops About The Same Height As The Whole 97+ Rear Bumper Does? If so where can i get just that rear bumper lip from?

I have the erebuni rear lip and the body shop guys who installed said it was very hard to install and the quality was poor. I've had it over a year and it cracking where it's connected to the body. Based on this, I wouldn't recommend it. However is money is an issue, I can understand. However, you're going to spend extra money repairing it so it may not be a real bargain.

Actaully... The Erebuni is a copy of the Exclusive kit (exclusive is one of the several aero companies under the evolution group name plate... )

The entire exclusive kit (front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper) is $980.00 - far from 3 times the cost- infact I bet the front could be had for $300... and it would actually FIT RIGHT!
