Review on the APTech Aero Craft Poly-Urethane Body Kit
First , if you are expecting a 100% perfect fitting body kit or a body kit without any imperfection and no work required , the kit is not for you . Besides there is no such thing . Just like any body kit in the market , there are some work to be done. On this kit , very minimal work I would say should be done.
In terms of quality , I honestly believe , the company didn't cheap out on materials. Every damn piece is well made . They are not flimsy. In fact a lot heavier than the OEM 97 kit or any kit I have laid my hands on which was a sign that they didn't try to save on the amount of materials. That makes every part seems so durable . One thing I would say , if you break any part of this kit , then you have a bigger problem to work on . I would think that you would have had a bad wreck for you to damage any part of the kit.
No more worries with the gutter along the drive thru, the parking lot front stoppers, the humps & bumps on the roads or even the steep inclines / dips on the roads. There is simply no breaking the front bumper with them. It is made of poly-urethane . All the other body kits in the market I believe has some type of fiberglass that is why they are so easy to brake.
And to top it all , the price we paid for it during the group buy was even cheaper than the Shine Body Kit and not even half the price of the Auto Couture Body Kit.
Again thank you to APTech for making it possible for us to have such product and a special thanks to Tony (StudioGeek) who started the conversation about this product that sparked the interest of many thus the group buy was started and APTech got to work.
I will let the pictures of the Red Mamba Two do the talking . I haven't fully bolted the rear bumper since I still have to take it out. I need to do the cutout portion for the rear back lights and drill holes for the screws on the sides of the bumper to make it all line up .
Now I need to install the dual exhaust for this car , get the big brake kits since I just installed a 315/40R18 wheel & drag radial tire combo and get it a real good paint job. It already has a good black interior , Viper Smart Start / GPS tracking system and a 2jzgte with built ATF transmission . I even am tempted to put aftermarket Twin Turbos now instead of waiting for the stock twins to konk out just to make the engine bay look really good.
Pretty sure the 1 of 120 Black Pearl will look as good once I have installed the other body kit.
And all I can say is I am happy with this body kit and no other body kit I would ever install on my SCs except this body kit.

some mounting adjustments needed near the hood... bumper need to be lowered a bit . I could hardly put the headlight in . The top of the bumper is too near the hood that is why its top near the headlights do not line up well with that curve on the hood where the headlight is and you see a gap in between side of headlight and bumper. That will all be resolved by just tilting the bumper a bit downward.

for those who want to see the differences in profile / height between the OEM 97 body kit and the Aero Craft Body Kit . The AC body kit has at least 1" - 1 1/2" lower profile that is why it makes the car look lower .

Completed the installation of the Aero Craft Body Kit on the Black Pearl . You can't ask for a better fitment for this kit. Hands down the best kit for me for the SC in terms of design , quality , price and for fitment , I can't complain.
