Fibremaster I believe, but whoever you get it from, trial fit it and be pre-pared to spend time getting the kit to fit properly. Aftermarket kits will reqiure some work to make them fit properly, no matter who you buy it from.

Even original kits aren't always great fitting.

Yip the key to getting one to look good is in the fitting and sanding to make them straight. Just like any good paintjob

I can vouch for Fibremaster kits. I have recently had one fitted to my car. Mine generally fits well, and is pretty much on the money. Bolt on points are pretty strong. Depends how fussy you are with things like the C pillar mould & the Scoop vent. I am sourcing new ones of these as I was not happy with them. The sccop itself needs a bit more work as well, but most aftermarket scoops seem to be a little suss. Sydney Special vehicle have kits as well, but seem to be on the pricey side. I am still not happy with the photos of thier scoop vent as they seem to be bent rather than the flatter origional. you can get some good deals on E-bay.

i know this is probably a stupid question but are fibremaster kits made from fibreglass? I've been doing some work to my rear bar and lower skirt and discovered that the lower rear skirt is completely f**ked under all the paint and stone guard. It will need to be replaced so I guess fibremaster is the go?? half the price of SSV too.

my understanding that fibremaster just buy the kits and on sell them,
but they do repairs and fitting.

This is they guy I bought my kit from on Ebay.

The photos say Fibremaster on the kitted car, but i'm not sure. I picked mine up for the begining auction price of $1990. You gotta be happy with that for a 21 piece kit. They come gel coated and yes they are fibreglass. I think they represent good value at that price. Quick delivery but the whole kit came in two boxes with no packaging so they got a little scuffed. Prep will fix this anyway. I was just not happy with the C pillar moulds and the scoop vent. Otherwise they seem to fit pretty well. I have seen cheep kits that are not really 21 piece (the lower moulds are attached. Best to get as close to the real deal as you can. I have seen plenty of origionals that have imperfections in the kit anyway. I guess it is enevitable. Let me know if you want photos of my car with kit fitted. I just finished a respray. Would prefer an origional car, but my build is putting out 240kw, leather interior, 20's etc. Still cost $30k, but i wont be afraid to drive it.
