Body Kits
what's up to all who looks at this thread
VIS has a V-Speed full complete kit for $350, the kit is made from FRPC ( Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic Composite
I found another kit made by an unknow company and the kit is going for about $600 bucks and the kit is made from or called DuraFlex
What kit do you guys have your SC'z for those who have kits, and does VIS make good products? The only reason I would go wit VIS is cause money is funny these days ...lol
Your input well help me out a lot.
Thanks

real Quick before you are killed by everyone here:
VIS you can search and hear about them.Stay away.$300 Kit,..prob worse.
All of these kits with these prices you say,..you are paying for what you get.
I personally bought a AIT vertex Replica (because version select was on backorder for 12weeks) and knew it was going to fit like Shizzle.and it somewhat does.But I have the patience to Work on it and get it fitting How I'd like.Sure the real deal Would be great but my car is Slammed and I don't mind replacing or re-fixing the bumpers because it gets messed up.Would kill myself if I damaged a $1000 Vertex bumper.
Good luck.Need to get real familair with a body guy or know how to work on fiberglass stuff to make it worth $300.because it will be for you $300 + ship + $1000 to get it fitting right and painted.

from my experience stay away from those type of body kits...just stick to the oem 97+ body styles and if you really want an aggressive look just drop it and put a lip on it....thats just my opinion or you could spend thousands on those top quality body kits like vertex

vertex rear and side reps from extreme dimensions aka raceonusa....they took quite a bit of modification cut here, cut some more here, but they fit pretty damn good now for the price and durability...i drove over a damn speedbump sideways while playing around and yeah i heard a loud bang on both sides thought my sides where done for sure but nope still on and no cracks or anything lol...front is wise lip which i can also tell you is durable as can be i ran over a dead wolf the other day driving from orlando to pensacola and it didnt even crack...lol u can tell where it got hit cause the paint scraped a lil bit but thats it...good luck with your choice...oh yeah i have 97+side door molding on mine even if you dont it doesnt look bad...i rocked it like that for about 2 weeks and found a pair luckily..

I bought vertex styled side skirts and rear bumper from raceonusa and they fit very well, one of the sideskirts just needed to be sanded down from the inside to make it fit. They were pretty cheap too, the skirts were $200 and the rear bumper was like $220.
But in the end it is just much better to just go OEM, 97+ = Legit

I opted for the AIT kit.ince I saw ol' Dudes Drift car with it.
I Liked the Rear Add on instead of the Full Bumper Replacement.Version Select was on 12 week backorder after I already payed for it.
Figured oem Urethane was better than Any fiberglass Bumper.
**I'm gonna Add on to the Rear Lip to make it Ride Up into where the License Plate Mounts Like I guess its supposed to be vertex wise.
Sides Were Confusing as hell.Couldn't tell which side was which.Ended up have to Trim a little here and There but they Will Fit could when I'm done.
Front Bumper is All out of Sorts..Ive cut it up a pretty good amount but the front of the hood section doesn't Line well with the bumper Curve.
Oh well.didn't pay for Perfection so not expecting it.The OEM 98+ Grill fit Perfectly though.just gotta get the Fogs now.
