We have a couple of manufacturing facilities overseas, so that sometimes make a difference too. As far as quality of improving, maybe your in need of searching this forum to see the test fit picturse I've done for certain cars. Here's some guidance: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...ebody-kit.html
uhh "test fit" picture? the first set of images is a (relatively poor quality) photoshop of autoboy's car which has a GENUINE Vertex Ridge kit.....

i did find this post from that thread you linked:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/7053197-post53.html

the blue car you show you also mention has most of a genuine kit with just your front bumper, skirts, and rear bumper. and we can't see fitment on it.

plus there's not a SINGLE post in that thread from a member who had a GOOD experience with the quality of your products. then you yourself mentioned that because you stocked over "7000+" applications you didnt have time to test fit all of them? seriously?

thanks for the thread though, basically told me that quality in the recent past hasn't changed at all apparently.

You are welcome to think what you'd like. If there is an unsatisfied customer it's probably because he/she didn't purchase from us. If a customer goes to xyz.com and buys an ED body kit, he doesn't get ED's customer service. He's gets xyz.com's customer service and if they say no refunds, we can't do anything about it. It's funny that you treat your vendors in this manner, being a moderator I would think you would have more respect for us keeping this site going. Just hope you understand this site doesn't run on you monitoring thread but us paying the bills.

Here is a customer who purchased directly from me and wasn't happy with the quality, didn't even try to fit the part. He just received a defective piece, so we fixed it for him. Please think about what you write before you write it. Good day.

OK guys, lets knock off the back and forth.

Looking forward to someone with personal experience chipping in here to provide feedback once parts arrive.

ExtremeDimensions, I'm happy to see you are there to provide support for members buying from you. PD has his opinion on the product and he views this differently. At this stage, debating as it has been going is not productive. The ultimate goal is we want ca18det to be happy buying from the CL vendors and in achieving the results for his personal tastes.

If the two of you have further discussion I suggest this be taken to PM rather than aired on the open forum.

Thanks guys.

so after researching this weekend the kit in my OP is a replica of the admiration kit. also during my search i came across the wings west kit. after seeing it on the lexus and reading reviews on it, i am sold on it. pre drilled, excellent fitment, comes gel coated and ready for paint. for a couple hundred extra i am going that route.

i want to say thank you to ED for chiming in here and helping me and the community. it seems whatever problems in the past they have had seem to be ironed out and making strides for excellent customer service.

JamesN is running this kit on his car i think, it is listed as fiberglass. You are correct afaik in that the Wings West is an original design kit.

http://www.wingswest.com/catalog/Lex...-Full-Kit.html

check his build thread to see if he had problems with the fitment?

his car is what sold me on the kit! that car is stunning.

i read somewhere that it is poly fiber, but i guess we will see when it arrives. also from a few members that have it they said it has perfect perfect fitment and direct bolt on.

after seeing james interior i am gutting mine to have re-wrapped excepted instead of gucci centers in the seats i am going to do quilted leather like in bentley's! now if only i can find a complete black interior to swap my tan out lol.

Just to shine some light, Wings West is VIS racing. No such thing as poly fiber body kits either. Its either polyurethane or fiberglass. The two composites can't be mixed together, they don't bond well. I know for a fact that VIS kits don't come pre-drilled. I have nothing negative to say about them, because I've gotten a kit from them before I started working here and it was great after a little work, just like any aftermarket kit. Also, before ordering make sure that you see what there return/exchange policy is like on a product that may not fit. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to earn your business. Good luck with your purchase.

AutoHaus 626-912-7499, sells these kits and they are pretty damn cheap. Or, you always have eBay!

I realize that this is an old thread but the topics discussed are relative to the question that I have. Where can I go to find authentic body kits? I am specifically looking for a Wald Executive lip kit for a UCF10.

http://www.wald.co.jp/english/carran...ucf10_exe.html

I've also sent numerous emails to the company listed as the North American Wald Dealer, Jonari, but I never get a response.

Edit: Ok, so I see the Wald kits on Yahoo Auctions Japan. Does anyone have experience purchasing auction items through Nengun or Jesse Streeter? Thanks.
