I am looking for a Black Widow Body Kit, and I was just wondering if anyone knows where is the best place to get one for inexpensive price, you know what I mean

So you anyone knows, please reply.

Oh, and by the way, it is possible to install that kit by your self right?
If anyone got this kit please also tell if you installed it by your self, or in the shop and what it cost. I'm just shopping around, I really want that kit it's aweosme!

Thanks for help

P.S. For Camry 96

i have the BW front, i installed my whole kit by myself and had a temporary paint job done at maaco for about $130.

as for where i got it, i bought it new off another guy who wrecked his car before he had a chance to put it on (luckily for me). but i would give sean at CTMotorsport a call, he can hook you up.

the kit is no different from any other full bumper replacement in terms of installation- but unless you have a lot of patience i would recommend taking it to a shop.

Jon- can you tell me what you needed to do to put on the sideskirts? I have been looking for some help on this and no one has answered before. I got them used and they look as if they had been rivited to the car.. Any help would be great.

for the most part, the doors will hold the skirts on. mine have a lip that allows the doors to pin it to the body. the only other thing i did was drill a few holes in the front and back (inside the wheel wells) to secure them.

also just for an added protection i applied the 3m doublesided tape underneath its lip.

so you mean it is possible to install it your self? I do have patience and I really wanted to install it my self, but I heard horror stories that some kits just don't fit, and etc...
So did you fit ok? I'm planing to install it with my buddy so i don't care how long it'll take me as long as i put it on, to save some $$$

Thanks for help

yes, mine fit pretty decently.. i only had to trim down one part where the bumper touches the driver side fender. just took a sandblock to it until it lined up.

my previous front bumper (invader) fit HORRIDLY... no joke. and the thing is, every kit is different (even same style) because it was made in either a different mold, or using more/less fiberglass. mine is definitely not perfect, but it still looks better than some of my buddies' cars that had it done at a shop.

you just have to trust yourself. and drilling into your kit can be excruciating.... "dont want to mess it up!!" once you drill, theres no going back hehe

well....mine fit like as good as a ford owner is smart

so yea...it fit like ass goes with cookies

or penis goes with mac and cheese........you get my drift

i spent quit a bit at a body shop....took 2 weeks of constant work to get the kit to fit right...but i think it was worth it

so once you get it........just see how well it fits, then go from there

i agree full heartedly

the only reason i went through with my own install is because it fit already.

just one more thing, your erebuni kit fit good too right? Sideskirts and rear bumber? coz i found that kit on ebay for 400 bucks so i was thinking to get it instead of BW, i hope it fits good though.

jwa276 · 05-07-2003, 01:54 PM

thats exactly what alex got, and his didnt fit right at all... maybe he will be willing to tell you the details.

i bought mine direct from erebuni at MSRP and it fit beautifully.. with the less expensive kits you run the risk of getting a shoddy kit and having to pay the difference in body work.
