I would appreciate any other suggestions on kits for an SC. I just don’t like futuristic looking kits, but anything like the Vertex or the Auto-Couture would be tight. Oh yea and money is kinda an issue so I can't afford anything too expensive.

Thanks in advance.
I got hooked up with the kit from VIS.... but I am not promoting for them... Just letting people know the difference so they wont ask about the kit if they use a search function... I'm trying to keep this thread clear of flaming and more info... I installed it myself... Paint was about $500. If you want it... go to their site... But it is alot of hassle.

well.... i wasn't hating on sc400. I just have this bitterness for VIS. i got my kit years ago when no one even knew what it was. Now there are all these knock offs left and right.

Sorry if i sound like im flaming, im not trying to hate or anything. Its just that everyone i kno who goes to VIS has had problems with them, and not just CL members.

There u go...u said that the fitment isnt perfect and it needs modifications, and now u just said it is a alot of a hassle to order from them.

Stop trying to stick up for VIS, thats all everyone is trying to say. Their kits are shotty and their service is crap. We are just trying to save other CL members the hassle of getting anything through them. Mayb since u got "hooked up" from them you did not have to deal with all their BS that they put their customers through.

LOL em.

It would be a good ideal to close the thread...

When I posted it, I thought it would be good for people with questions about the kit when they use the search function...

clint had to cut his kit to make it fit also. the kit is very thin, compared to bomex, i think bomex makes a much better quality kit.
