"Shogun" body kit for $400?

Long long time ago I read that someone got that body kit from some local shop and paid $400 bucks with the install. If you know who was the person that had that install or maybe know that shop and the state where it's located let me know Maybe i'll drop by if its not too far Coz it sounds like a great deal.

I should've bookmarked that post

Thanks

i got one from some guy for 400, not a shop or anything, and its not painted or installed...

i don thtink there is any way you will get one painted and installed for anywhere near 400. i say cheapest kit will be 400 + 400 paint+200 install. you are looking at 1 grand.

Oh you absolutely right. Its hard to get it all done for $400, I agree. Body kit is self cost around 400 on ebay. It's just year ago I was browsing thru the forum and I saw few pics of gen3 camry with that body kit on. That guy got it some store or something, there were even pics of the install job right outside of that little shop, and as long as i remember he got it for $400 dollars including installation. So thats why I was wondering where that place is, if it's close I would actually concider going over there . I'll tried searching for it again, but no luck.
Oh well
Thanks for reply though.

Don't get the $400 kit! It's crap! It won't fit right and it's EGG SHELL THIN. Get the real Erebuni one. You'll spend a little more but you're not going to regret it. I had the Shogun Erebuni kit and it was worth spending the extra dough.

Take my word for it DON'T GET THAT KIT!!!!I bought my Side Skirts and Back Bumper through Procarparts.com and they were really thin and the B/B didn't fit properly not to mention all the flaws in the gel coat I'm gonna be ordering better quality ones in a couple of months when I get another paint job.

Yes PCP does, but it might have been more of a shipping issue than them...at least the flawed gel coat. The thinness could have been their fault.

I had an experience from getting stuff sent to me by UPS, don't even go UPS, go FedEx. UPS just tosses your stuff around.

I got a shift knob FedEx'ed. The box was two times as big as the shift knob box, and it was surround completely in newspaper and plastic peanuts. I love FedEx.

ep, that isnt UPS's fault for not packing something right... its whoevershipped it. and the shift knob, same thing, its the shippers responsibility to pack things, not the shipping company.

yukio is right! if you want to do it right, get the real thing from erebuni. i bought my skirts & rear bumper from them, and they are good quality and they fit really well.

I was the one who got the body kit for $400 installed. It wasn't at a local body shop but one near where I live. It is a pretty good kit and has been through lots of abuse. The fitment was actually really good. I didn't have to cut or do anything to it. It was pretty much drill holes and bolt it on. I might be selling my kit soon. Its made for the 1995-1996 Camry. Hit me up if you wanna make an offer.

Oh, so that was you?
Lol, glad i found you!
Wait, is that shop in Seattle, WA?? Heck i'm not driving all the way there from Chicago... Might as well get one from erebuni lol.

Do you know any shops in midwest that do that? Got any connections?Friends or anything? Just wondering. You got a good deal, and if you say its durable, I envy you lol

Take care
