Whilst normally I would refrain from posting Galant/Legnum related things in here, but its just not for our cars. Firstly this is not personal experience of mine, I am simply passing a message on, and my own findings of the company through there website

Firstly the thread that has come to light about these bodykits
http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113037



My findings of RSBodykits, I checked there website, noticed they do Galant body kits....For the uk 1993-1998 model :inquisiti :inquisiti Not heard of that model here, so more looking, now correct me if I am wrong here but is this not an Eclipse? Apparently

Then on further looking, I noticed the best sellers list, and thought, no one in there right mind in the uk would think this kit would fit with a picture of a different car yet there bestsellers are

Bestsellers
1. MITSUBISHI GALANT Front Bumper Version RS1
2. MITSUBISHI GALANT Rear Bumper Version RS1



So checked the Audi TT bodykit and lo and behold the best sellers has changed

Bestsellers
1. AUDI TT Rear Bumper Version RS1



Not good, to consider this is a company trading in the uk imho alot of false advertising there with the bestsellers list

Also found out from someone else that
the kit for the range rover.

£379 for full kit
£363 for front bumper
£356 for rear

and the pic shown is an over finch.
which is an 8 piece kit


If the mods wish to move this to the members area they can do so, I cant post in there because I havnt renewed yet, and also I am sure I speak for the club when I say we dont want any involvment with this, apart from letting our members know

Hmmm. I think you've drawn some inaccurate conclusions there kyle.

I wouldn't say there's 'false advertising' going on with the bestsellers list - It's the way the website is pulling data from the database. When you change make/model it's simply showing you the best seller in that category. It's a mistake, yes. But I don't think it's falsely advertising.

As for the 1993-1998 model - They're going off the USDM production eras (except they've got that wrong too). The 7G ran in the US untill 1998.

As for the situation... Well that kit is a rubbish fit but I'd be interested to know the flip side of the story...

I think perhaps this is a better forum for this:

Would agree with Kieran.

Think thats crap. My friend had his supra fitted with a custom kit and complete respray by "Body image " in Cork. When i brought him down to collect it a week later there was an inch gap between the headlights and bumper on each side and the gaps wernt even either. the spoiler was put on with wood screws and they were respraying some other car with a fag in his mouth, door wide open next to a dirt road. now thats hatchet.
