2013-2016 Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ GT Concept Body Kit Installation

Featured Body Kit: Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ GT Concept Series

The Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ and Toyota FT86 exploded onto the scene at the end of 2012 as a 2013 model and did not take any time at all for the tuner market to jump on with over 75 examples on display by various aftermarket companies at the 2012 SEMA show. One of those manufacturers being Extreme Dimensions really hit a home run with their GT Concept Series which was released in both their Duraflex and Carbon Creations product lines. Check out the available versions below as well as installation information and photos showing an FR-S being prepared for SEMA debut as well as another FR-S that was wearing the Carbon Creations version on the outside show field at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Installation Notes:

As you can see in the photos below the finish for all fiberglass body kits needs body worked before paint. The photos below will demonstrate some of the processes involved from trimming and filling to straightening and cleaning up of body lines to ensure that when these parts are painted the finish will be true and free of waves. Every inch of the paintable surfaces needs to be sanded from as coarse as 80 grit to as fine as 600-800 grit depending on the color of the vehicle in question. The more time spent on prep the better the final install and painted finish will be.

What Should I Expect to Pay For Installation?

This will vary depending on location but our process for finding the proper shop never changes. We always suggest that our customers do research locally to find what shops are putting out custom cars and working with body kits and custom autobody and paint on a regular basis. We avoid collision shops that do 95% or more of their daily business on collision repair and working with OEM parts. These types of shops will not be able to properly quote a complex custom job and will come back and want to charge you for every little detail needed. A custom shop will be better equipped to deal with any challenges in fitment and finish and be able to build that into their quote. A 4 piece body kit install can take as few as 3 days to complete with paint to as much as a couple weeks. Always take your time in finding the right shop as it will make all the difference in getting the finished result you are looking for.
