Body kits are hit and miss at the best of times. Be prepared to do significants amount of work to improve the fit. I bought a Torana kit from Spoilertek a few years ago and found the quality generally good however some of the pieces required a bit of work getting them to look exactly right where the join to the body went. There have been some kits from other manufacturers which have been best described as atrocious and almost bin material from the start. These tend to be the "made up" kits - ie vy grafted onto a VR etc.

i bought a vx gto kit for my ss 5 years ago from spoilertek and it fitted up perfectly. nice body lines . took abit of preping. the main thing is to get it fitted by a good body shop and get a good paint job on it. LOOK AFTER IT. dont scrap or hit anything with it. fiberglas is unforgiving. once it cracks the paint . its all over it will just spread. Dont worry about the nartzi they would not have a clue mate. just dont buy cheap ****. ebay does have some good products if you look hard enough.
