Anyone here have the Hot Wheels 8-piece body kit?
 
I'm thinking about getting it, but first I have a few questions for anyone who has owned it.

1. How much clearance do you get? It looks pretty tight in the official pictures, but I'm guessing the car has been lowered.

2. How is the quality?

3. Did the installation go well, or did you have to do backflips to get it to fit?

4. Has anyone used this with the Fast Intentions exhaust, and if so, were there any problems, or did the exhaust tips fit from the get-go?

Thanks in advance!

it's pretty much garbage as far as quality and fitment is concerned

What's the problem with the quality? Are we talking parts arriving broken, or stuff that cracks when the wind blows the wrong way, etc.?

Good luck getting it to fit and if you want to look like fast and furious 1 then go ahead.

Looks are subjective, but fit isn't. Damn, looks like I'm going to have to think of something else.

Anyone know of a decent body kit that won't cost me $6,000?

That's actually what hooked me too. But if the quality is that poor, I'll look elsewhere.

Don't like the look of the rest of the kit, just the rear. I have no clue on the quality. IMO the Amuse kit does look a lot better.
