My 240 with bad Erebuni body kit
I have a Erebuni Shogun kit on my car it turned out terrible..."WARNING" WARNING...........EREBUNI sucks.....Not only did it take 4 months to get here but when it did they did the worst fiberglass molds I have ever seen with the body kit......
the only thing that turned out allrights was the Apex'i 3 "exaust form the cat back.......

hey, welcome to club240
one question....
why paint and bolt the kit if you were dissatisfied with the quality?
i know what it is like to want your car's sh*t here now and fast. not to mention you want it on. but once it arrived forget the forever long wait, if it's trash its trash.
anyway--welcome

actually i've been around the whole car thing for a while and most dealers will tell ya to have a "pro" install. but "Good" dealers will tell ya send it back. it's all good business. being a salesman i know about all this.
regaurdless.... it don't look that bad in the photos.
most good shops will take it back if it hacent been INSTALLED.
as for the wheels, yeah they could be bigger but not TOO big if you actually dirve it.
like the spoongebob

why install and paint a body kit that you are unhappy with? now, that you had all your money sucked down the drain, now you are stuck with something you dont like. Not to be a dick or anything, but I could have told you Ebureni sucks. All they do is throw a body kit in a mold and when its done throw it out and pour another one. this is the WORSE way to make a body kit. It almost never fits, cracks easily, and looks like absolute crap. The next step up would be Hand-Laid Fiberglass which defently holds up better and fits WAY better than that crap. The best is either hand-laid fiberglass with kevlar reenforcement or Urethane. go here...

they send out some pretty damn good kits for nissans, though you might pay a pretty penny for them, but in the body kit world, MOST OF THE TIME, you get what you pay for...
guess this was a pretty expensive lesson learned for you...sorry

Your car looks pretty good, at least u didn't go with that Combat kit that everyone and their mother has from erebuni. Their products do suck especially in fitment.
I, myself, before being properly informed by people of this forum and other forums that Erebuni sucks or i would have gotten the same kit you have.
But Bomex uses urethane I think and not fiberglass.
