Bodykit Installed

Hey guys, so it took a little while, but I finally got my bodykit installed. As well as some 25mm Eibach Spacers for the rear and 5mm spacers for the front. The Eibach design is great. No need to replace studs, since they are mounted in the spacer. And they are still hubcentric.







Oh and excuse the imperfections. I installed it myself, first time I ever installed a bodykit or used 3m tape (that stuff is vicious)

I really like the front lip.... I would personally swap the sideskirts for stockers as that kit has a little too much going on toward the rear door.. The rear is a tough call as I haven't seen any kits that add much to the tail of the I35.. Good job on the install as you can always swap out if need be..

I like the front. I'd prefer the factory sides though, but if your i30 didn't come with them, it's a good sub. If the rear of the kit didn't wrap all the way around, i would love it. But right now, the design makes it look like the back of the car is huge. Overall, it looks great though.

Thanks, took me from about 3:30 till 7:30. A lot of it was cleaning up and stuff tho. And I had some fitment issues. Should've testfitted it and changed it so that it would fit right BEFORE getting it painted. Argh... well you live an you learn lol.

Haha, that's exactly what I thought when I moved to AZ from Germany lol. Imagining X-mas under palm trees and 80 degrees weather... but not so much!!! haha. Are you living in Tempe? I'm going to ASU and live on college and southern.

@Dineth00i30
don't go on us with that V-tech! Go lease a hybrid yaris and put the money you save on gas into the Max! oh and how much bigger you want me to go? Those are 18s haha, I guess you can't really tell cos that damn lip makes em look smaller.

Kit looks nice but those wheels are making the car look ugly IMHO. What size are those?

i meant like 20's with a whole lot of negative camber son!! lol haha im a kid . your car looks fine the way it is. but the thing is tho im only 18 and owning a 4cyl makes a whole lot more sense right now so i will sell this later on...tho i will really miss the comfort of this car... but im pretty sure i will on the forum even after i sell it..

@ronan
yeah Ionic Dynamics and I have a thread about the headlights here on the org too. Just check threads started by me.

@patty
The kit costs 700 shipped and it cost me another 500 to have it painted.

Thanks for your opinion, but it's not "aweful" it's awful. If you think you can make a better design then please take a shot at it

Great looking I30!

I like those sideskirts, compliments the lines of the car much better than the OEM skirts IMO.

thanks for the spelling lesson.

i don't do this chassis, but i have taken a shot at designing a 4g kit (as a matter of fact i pmed you more than once when i was looking for a manufacturer) but couldn't find anybody that would build it to my standards so i let it go.

don't get too attached to your product. something like a body kit is very susceptible to personal taste. i was only giving my honest opinion, sorry i didn't like it as much as you do.

Everyone is entitled to share their opinion, whether positive or negative. You take what people say about your products way too serious.

Wizzi, if you think it was uncalled for then please take it up with the mods, that was MY opinion as well and I'm also entitled to voice it. If you have anything else you would like to say then please PM me.

so what opinion did you state?

you know what... nevermind. i apologize for my comment. i was thinking more as an opninion of the op's car and not a diss on your product. either way, everyone has there own style and as long as the op is happy with the look and ionic is satisfied with the products they produce then everyone should be happy.

anytime you want to talk business pm me. i'd be more than happy to give making a couple kits a shot, i'd be interested to see what the numbers looked like.

I love the kit. Looks awesome! I knew I should have gotten the white i35 instead of the black one.

Just my opinion though - black rims have always looked like dounuts to me. On a black car it looks OK, but the contrast between the white car and the black rims makes it looks like its got no wheels.
