www.skrperformance.com (can get it for you). These guys are located in NJ and the guy MARK is a part of CL(who has a sick IS by the way). These guys won't rip you off they are really good to do business with. Look to spend like 2600-2800 for the kit and a ton more to have it shipped from overseas. (DO NOT BUY THE IMITATION FROM ANYBODY) I HAVE TRIED THIS AND IT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT, GO ORIGINAL OR DO GO AT ALL.

Hope this helped

it's weird. depending on who you talk to at VIS, the price ranges from 800-1400. i heard many bad stories from that company. i'd recommend against it if you're out of state. if you buy from CA, you can just drive there and kick some butt.

i just got a copy of the vertex kit in my house right now. not from VIS, but from Japan. I'll let you guys know how well it fits and such. quality seems to be good! a bit less $$$ than VIS too. If anyone is seriously interested, please PM me. I might be selling it, who knows.

Didn't someone just a month or 2 ago have a problem with their VIS kit. Wasn't that the one where the side skirts didn't fit right? And was going to cost over a grand to put it on?

There is a shop in my area and the owner is a perfectionist(owns an NSX, and does works on Ferraris, Vipers, and normal cars) and he put on my friends authentic WW RS II front lip and side skirts which all physically fir onto his integra, but cost my friend aroun $600, since there were a lot of extra screws that he had to add and such to make sure it would stay on. He kept it at $600 since the owner new it was my friend and thats what he quoted him on, but said that next time he did it, it would be a lot more.

I have dealt with many body kit companies and I have never had one fit perfect. They all need adjustments, some more than others. I agree looking for another company. The business I have done in the past with vis, they just don't stand behind their product. They always put blame on the freight company everytime. We however received many kits we were happy with from them. I prefer to do business with a company that works to solve problems with their products. This is just my personal experience.

NOT TO MENTION THAT WHEN CONFRONTING THEM WITH MY FINDINGS THEY HUNG UP THE PHONE ON ME OR WOULD PUT ME ON HOLD AND NEVER PICK UP.................GO TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU'S WEB SITE FOR THE CALIFORNIA AREA.............THEY HAVE A HORRIBLE RECORD WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU..


PLEASE LOOK AT MY PREVIOUS POSTS ON THIS COMPANY............HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.....I ONLY SAY THIS CAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO GO THROUGH THE ORDEAL THAT I WENT THROUGH TO GET MY MONEY BACK (WHICH INVOLVED MAJOR BACKING FROM MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY, OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN SCREWED)

AND QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME PERSONALLY IF YOU WANT FURTHER HELP....BLADEZ42598@AOL.COM

my vertex kit fits perfectly. i've had it on my car for 2 years without a problem. when they installed there was no problem. it is a very very tight fit. it cost me 200 to install my kit.

btw , if you want to see my car go to toyomoto.com my car is the one that is the sc300 icon
