I want to purchase a erebuni bodykit for my G2 pro. When i first found it, people were saying it was a good bodykit. Now all I hear is negtive. Some people I talked to said it was hard to install. Why is this? Can somebody give me some info please??? Thanks in advance

I personally think that all bodykits are the same , cause I hear people complain about the same stuff,, honda guys to mazda guys say the same things so , I really don't know , I plan on getting the jspec face with the lip and doing it like that ,, then I will source some side skirts

I read somewhere on the Erebuni kit that it removes some of the safety brackets or some **** that make it safe, and street legal. Personally, i'd go custom and stay safe. JMHO.

It will also depend on where you live, the type of driving you do and where you park your car, I do now that the Erebuni kit requires modification and a good body man should be able to handle it pretty good ,, just don't hit anything or else ,

So about how much do yall think it would cost for someone to put in the kit, considering you have to make some mods??

The view from here

The main issues with erebuni are finish (i.e cracking) packing material, or lack thereof, and fit and finish quality. I have had some members that have had real problems and others that have not. Most shops I have talked to dont like messing with erebuni. Buyer beware.

Ok heres my story about mine, first time i ordered, got all 4 pieces for the 707 price, shipping was like 75 bucks added on. so anyway i take it to a bodyshop and the guy puts the front and back on and paints them for 500 bucks cash. He managed to get the kit on and keep the use of my airbags. The shop couldnt figure out the sides so i said **** it i need my car back. so i was driving around without sides, it looked whack, especially with my 13" stock wheels and I was scraping the front everywhere also. so by then i got my 17" and was scraping less and was SUPER carefull everywhere i went. Then i rear ended some woman on the freeway, totally killed the front bumper. had to order another from erebuni, cost me around 400 with tax and shipping. so I go to this other bodyshop that hooks me up, and got the new front and sides put on for 300 bucks. couple warnings you need to know. first, if you have a 95-96 protege youre going to lose your front turn signals, so you need to figure something out. basically I got some bigger bulbs and stuck them into my parking lights and rewired them to act as blinkers. during the day its somewhat hard to see, during the night its fine. during the day making left turns is a bitch because sometimes people cant see my turn signals, so i try to keep left turns to a minimum. also, the front scrapes ALOT. My car is only lowered with the H&R springs and i have 17" rims and the front scrapes over relatively large dips. speedbumps is ok, but you need to relearn how to drive your car with this ****. also, the bumper gets rock chips a lot, and after a while it looks like ***. BUT, in my opinion the cons outweigh the pros because it gets a lot of attention, but its all up to you


on a sidenote - recently i just ran my front into this bigass lake in the road that i couldnt see because it was raining hard, so basicaly my front looks like **** now and the bottom is scraped to **** and is white but i dont care, i'm done with my protege

another sidenote - If you are getting an exhaust on your car make sure its going to fit the kit, or else you'll have rattling problems like i did, but i rigged it so it stopped
