Hey guys -

We never did get that sponsored car that we needed to showcase our new spyder body kit, so this time it's open for everyone across the united states. What we need is a 86-89 4-door Honda Accord, willing to paint and install the body kit within 3 weeks of receipt, and provide pictures for adveritisements. The sponsored vehicle will receive the body kit at a cost of $500, $350 off of the retail price of $849! All you need to do is paint, install, and send back pictures. If you're interested, please e-mail us at [email protected] with your name, contact information, and a photo of your vehicle. This will be limited to one volunteer. Thank you!

For more pics of the kit, see this link:

I think the body kit needs to be cheaper for people to buy it. Although there is almost no aftermarket support for body kits for these cars, I still don't think people are willing to spend that much on body kits. You're looking at over $1000 to buy the body kit, get the car painted and/or pay for installation. I just don't think many people have a $1000 to drop in their car just like that.

i think if you offered to use the car as a base and put it on and paint the car again (or at least the body kit to match) for 500 bucks i could see somebody willing to do that. But since you want the customer to basically pay for everything including the body kit at a lower price :rolleyes: you're probably not gonna find somebody with that kind of spare cash.

Well you're going to have to paint the kit anyways if you bought it at regular price... the only real kicker is that you have to get it painted as part of the deal...

But who is going to run around with an unpainted kit?

I say grab some spray cans and just do 5 thin coats and a few clear coats, sand buff and voila.

Doesn't even have to match your cars paint... you can go two tone and paint the bumpers and sides of the car black. :D

any kits for an accord hatchie??

This kit fits the 4 door only. Currently, there are no plans to make it for the hatchback unless we get significant interest. Thank you

the only good thing about the kit is the side skirts. the ROUND 4TH GEN bumper doesnt fit and that rear bumper is hanging too low. if you lowered the car any further you'd scrape everything. not just mud flaps

Doesn't a sponsered car mean that the kit would be free to the owner off the car provided by the manufacturer? If I pay you for a body kit wouldn't I just be a customer?

thats what i was thinking Volitech.. If it was free.. i would definitly put it on my car.. I would really classify it a sponsorship when i pay for it..

not all sponsors pay for the total cost. my friends vr-4 3000gt is sponsored. his sponsors only pay for 1/4th of the cost, and there are only certian things that he can add to his car to keep his sponsorship...

If it wasn't clear the first time I mentioned it, let me straighten this whole thing out now. Sponorships have many DIFFERENT levels depending on the situation. The reason for their existence is that it is a mutually beneficial relationship. You get something for your car, and then we get something in return. That being the case, the type of sponsorship you will receive depends on what we are getting in return. In this case, we are only requesting a few pictures. As such, the kit will only be offered at a discounted rate. On the other hand, someone who may be eligible for a full sponsorship (i.e. kit for free) would typically be committed to prototyping work (where we take the car for a few weeks), a few show appearances etc.

I cant believe noone is going for this. What are you all whining about?? 500 bucks for a bodykit is a steal. In Denmark a bodykit for a Honda costs 5 times as much...

Hey I have money that I was going to use on a hood but I decided not to do the hood. Is it $500 shipped? And does it have to be painted to match my car perfectly? And is the 3 week deadline to get it on that important if I take a little longer since I goto school during the day and work at night so my only time is the weekends. I put a body kit on my brothers integra and painted it black to match his car and it looked really good. I'm not a huge fan of your kit but hey I'm at a loss of what to spend my money on right now. It would be nice to get some kits sold for you and I think if one person does it others will follow. As long as the kit will bolt on and you won't have to modify the car or kit I am interested. I understand that the styrofoam might need to be removed but does the bumper bar need to be removed?

If you can work with me I will work with you. I planed to paint the kit black so I would have a black and goldish look. And for the sideskirts how do those attach? 3M tape or screws or rivots?

Thanks,
Mike
