Default Tom's or Varis bodykits

Hi all, trying to choose between these kits but being in the UK there's no chance of seeing them in the flesh first.

Which are people favouring, are there other manufacturers that are better? Also, I'd really welcome people's insights on quality and fit/finish. I don't want parts to look inferior to the rest of the car.

Thanks all!

Can't go wrong with either. As far as I know, there are way more Varis kits on this forum than the TOMS. I have the AIMGAIN, but the Varis is really nice if you want the CF. I'm not crazy about the Varis front lip, but the side skirts are incredible.

I'm not a fan of the Toms kit.

I can send you more pictures if needed Greg! Like Carnevino said, a lot of people are running the Varis vs the Toms, but who knows which kit will be more popular down the road. I think all body kits look amazing on the RCF.

You probably won't be able to sell it...

So I may have to be a gentleman and take it off your hands for a heavily discounted rate

As always, TOM'S kit looks more "functional" than made purely fo show and it actually is - TOM'S Racing along with TRD make true aero R&D and their products are functional and really working. But they are often not the most pleasant to the eyes ) Companies such as Aimgain, Skipper, Lexon etc. definitely do not have their own wind tunnels, but their kits often bring more visual bling to the car exterior. Different ways... )
