Talking Need Feedback On Revolution/ Wise Body Kit

Wassup Guyz... I need some feedback on the Revolution aka Wise body kit ( Both kits look similar to me )... I think its only made of fiberglass, but does anyone kno or experienced the fitment, quality, price, or any comparisons between the Revolution or wise kit ... Most importantly does anyone have any good pics of GS Members sportin these kits ( excluding pics from any company sellers example, Carson toyota, Memory Fab, etc... cus i've already seen them)
Thanx Guys

use the search function to find past threads and other photos.

The blue GS is Bluelex's car. He has a TT setup thus the HUGE intercooler. But from what i've heard, the wise has a relatively clean fit but it does need some work.

btw: i've never heard it called the revolution before... is it a knockoff?

Unless he changed it recently , he has RMM sides and rear. He used to have full RMM (including the front) until he swapped the front for the Wise.

bananaGS actually has a write up on his DIY page on how to make the fogs work on an independent switch...im doing that up in a week or so when i replace my headlights, fogs, and sidemarkers with all the newer GS parts...ill let ya guys know how that goes....


also, one of you guys was asking how he got the lights "blue" in the first pic....i think its just the blue reflection of the blue colored bulb bouncing off the chrome in the housing..bluelex will correct me if im wrong...who knows!

That wise front looks great with the huge intercooler in it I thought the revolution was a knock off of the WIN kit

A word of caution... With the Wise side skirts you may not be able to use your jack and you may not be able to use the lifts that most shops have. Don't ask me how I know

Sorry for the late reply. The quality is fiberglass and is pretty good. The fitment was ok at 1st but we found the problem which was the corners where the fendor lines up to the bumper under the headlights were made a little too wide. We simply shaved off some of the bumper on the inside where the bolts go and it slid right in for a prefect lined up look now. Not sure what state your from but if you can in your state or you weren't going to use a front plate anyway I would go for the cleaner look and shave and fill in the indentation in the front. Here in FLA we don't need a front plate so we modded it for a much cleaner one of a kind look imo.

here it was before


and here it is after we modded it.



I'm not sure what a revolution kit looks like so I can't comment.

I love that front bumper. Very close to the L-Sportline in looks. You guys out west and in Florida have nice roads. In NYC, that bumper would be destroyed by the dipsin the road if your car is dropped
