Just scrolling flea bay and found a seller "Street-Commodore"

anyone seen or used them?

Is it a Fibreglass kit of some sort for cheap? If so, be prepared to make a lot of adjustments to make it fit.

Around $800 for front / Rear and skirts

Ive just bought a replacement for the hsv bumper for the front of my car. He is quick to send and the packaging is good. Just double check his freight cost, his listing quoted $65 to roughly my area, but he was going to charge me $95. I queried him on it and he discounted it back to the $65.
As for quality, I have no idea yet as I havent got around to dry fitting the bumper yet as I have to do that and paint it but cant due to lack of funds. I have to drill all the holes etc myself to fit it to the car which is going to be interesting. They dont include any instructions whatsoever.

Im hoping it goes ok. The only reason I caved and replaced the bumper is because of what the clown of a previous owner has done to the car under the body kit means I couldnt just take it back to stock like I was going to.

Avoid at all costs

A quality kit, including skirts, front and rear bars, should set you back like 2 grand minumum, probably closer to 3. For that, you'll get a strong kit that fits properly, but its still fibreglass and easily damaged.

As for buying a cheap one - I bought mine from XXX bodykits in Dandenong via ebay (cant remember what username he had) and it was cheap, $600 bucks.

It was flimsy and poorly made, the fibreglass in some parts didnt even have resin in it. The fit was terrible, and it took me a crapload of work to fix it all up.

Check out my ride link below to see just how much work these things need.

If you are buying any kind of fibreglass kit, and you cant work with fibreglass or spray paint, dont bother. Fibreglass damage is a part of life.

Original is a better option if you can get it, at least the kit is made of flexible plastic instead.

Cheers guys that was the feedback I was looking
for sounded to cheap. ;-)

I'm Chasing a wagon kit
so a orig might be a bit hard to find.

Give this guy a call. His prices will be higher than the fleabay items, but the quality is second to none. If he doesnt list it as stock, he will make it or source a quality one from somewhere else. If you are going to buy glass, buy it from this guy. Savage Fibreglass Sydney

Also, its not so important with other parts of a kit, but if you are considering a bonnet, either buy a modified steel bonnet (this will cost more) or buy it from Blits Bodykits Southport - they are the only people who sell street legal fibreglass bonnets.
