WOW!! Thanks Cris! We could not be happier with how this turned out. Your car looks amazing. You've been a really good supporter of ours and have become a good friend to many of us here. We hope to continue to support you on your build good sir. Keep up the amazing work.

Demik or Josh you could probably answer this too, do you now what the weight of the whole rear diffuser piece is (also how many holes do you have to drill to install it) ? Thanks

I actually love the gold fins! Was this done in homage to the Supra TRD bodykit? If you can find a "TRD" sign to put on the fin that would be really really cool

Just an FYI, the rear diffuser is made of VSDC (Varis Semi Dry Carbon). Varis never released official weight measurements; however, Semi Dry Carbon will weigh less than standard wet carbon layup. All in all, the rear diffuser and wing are probably our most favorite pieces on the whole kit. We stared at the car for a good 15-20 minutes drooling over it after it was installed. On a side note, all of these pieces look way better in person for some reason. Photos just can't pickup the detailed shapes within each part. As for the amount of holes, I there are only 2 holes on the underside of the car that needs to be drilled and the rest is installed using bolts, brackets, and push tabs that are included in the kit to secure it down. Everything else is installed using stock location holes and mounting points on the underside of the car. Varis does an incredible job designing and engineering these parts to fit extremely well so there isn't much work needed to install them. The fitment is fantastic.

As for wait times, we are the exclusive importer and distributor for Varis in North America and Canada so we speak with Varis on a daily basis and our lead times come directly from Varis. All Varis parts are made to order so each part is specifically made for each customers order. It takes Varis roughly 1.5 - 2 months just to make a new part not including the shipping time.

This is partly due to the large amount of orders they receive. Varis is a global brand that distributes parts all over the world. The other reason is because each premium part that they produce is made by hand at their small shop in Japan. Varis has a big name in the industry but they're actually a small specialty shop that produces great parts. This is true for many of the high-end JDM brands. The attention to detail is incredible so they would rather spend a little extra time doing it right, rather than rushing it and doing a sloppy job.

Depending on how we ship though the shipping time may vary. We own our own containers coming from Japan so if we shipped via ocean freight from Japan to the U.S. it will take a bit longer but the price of shipping would be less expensive. If we air freighted the parts to the U.S. from Japan, the lead time would be drastically less and a 2.5 month lead time would be realistic; however, the only issue is that air freight costs would be way more expensive compared to ocean freight. In the end, it's a trade-off. Either pay more and get the part sooner or pay less and wait a little longer. Unfortunately we don't control the cost of shipping or lead times. If you'd like more info on lead times, feel free to message me and I'll be happy to provide you with additional info.

If this was available in a 6MT. It would be in my driveway right now.

If I had read the post I would have either not said anything or softened my words.

I am one man whose opinions don't matter. I shouldn't have opened my mouth but I made a mistake. I really do apologize to the OP. I haven't given my real opinion on anyone's car for a while and only mistaking you for a dealer caused this. Sorry!

Thanks for all the positive and negative words guys. Everyones entitled to there opinions. no worries.

I'd like the front to slice the incoming air a bit more, creating more low air underneath the car... But all in all a great looking kit!
Thanks sir. Both Kits are awesome you can't go wrong with either. Carnevino just got the Aimgan and I can't wait to see it. His car gonna be so sick,
