VS with the price you'll be charged to fit that junk VIS kit on your car your better off just buying the bomex front. The bomex front needs no alterations AT ALL. I know this because I bought the VIS fought tooth and nail with them. Sent it back and bought the BOMEX. We went to do a preliminary fit and it just went on like a glove. Your digging your own grave with that VIS crap just get anything else, buy a stock one in the meantime the VIS one will just be headache number 2 for you.

i've heard that the sides have problems with fitment. I've heard the front and rear fit well. I just want the front. Did the front bumper give you trouble as well?

thanks

I never even unwrapped the sides or the rear after the nightmare that unfolded in front of me with the front bumper (OVER 6 INCHES TO WIDE) GOT A SECOND ONE (4 INCHES TO WIDE).

as far as the sides go I helped sxylexy (i think thats his name, he is in CONN) because he never got passed unwrapping the front or rear cause his side skirts where a few inches TO SHORT!!!.

I honestly wouldn't take that kit if it was FREE and I'm not lying because you have to take that through Jessie James' Monster Garage to get the piece of junk to Fit. And I am pretty fluent with Fiberglass and if you have to butcher it up and cut and seem together that makes it extremely week. Imagine you one day bump into a plastic garbage barrel and your bumper cracks.


I have seen the damage on your kit in person. The most a shop would have that for is 2-3 days. If you can't hang the car up just spend 100 bucks and buy a stock used front bumper and throw that on temporarily.

sorry for everyone who PM'd me. the price is like 350-400 + shipping. I will have to refer you to a shop, as this is not for me. PM me if you're serious, and i'll relay them how many kits to order. I am no way affiliated with this company, FYI. returning a favor that i owe.

Ummmm I think it also depends on your bodyshop i have had both kits, bomex and VIS, and to tell you the truth the VIS is alllot more durable then the bomex . My vis kit fit perfectly except the sides which needed to be resized, the front fits easily if you have a good body shop, Dennis i have my skirts for sale if you need them theyre DOluck skirts.
