VIS Vertex Style KIT
#16
Dang, the more time I spend looking at this VIS kit the more I like it....whats wrong with me? Ok, so in your opinion Sc400, how hard would it be to make this thing fit on my car? About how much time if I havent messed with bodykits before (Im a quick learn). And to everybody else, yes, Ive read the warnings, more than once .

Star, to answer your question, I have no idea... LOL.. we are like triplets.
undefeated... The first time I tried with my kit, it took me about four hours... When the other member got his kit, it took about two and a half hours. It is pretty hard.. It's basically trim/shave and fit... If it is still off, do it again and again... For a first timer, I would say take your time... Spend a good 4-5 hours trying to figure out what to do.
Good luck...
I do recommend the real kit though since you have never experimented with kits before.

They gap you are refering to is not where the headlights are... probably where the highbeams are.... It's still not big enough for a finger.. unless you got some baby fingers.....

dont pay them no mind. they always flame THOSE WHO HAVE NICER CARS. we call them HATERZ around here. i dont understand why alot of these members talk trash about other members, when this is suppose to be a community forum where one can express his individuality.if i wanted to talk trash with someone i'll go to a chat room. and dude, if you are asian, like alot of other members you might get offended acouple of times, cuz they call us RICERS for having a hooked up car i guess ITS GANGSTER or something, i know alot of people with vis kits and have no major problem. shet.... with the money saved means new paint job.
dont get me wrong japanese kits are koot too. but their kits are very thin, just look at the du luck kit. BB gun can shoot through it.its very thin,thats because they have different crash requirements.less strict i guess.

i don't diss on people or what they buy. they pay for what they get, but don't front to other people like they're all pimp. that's what bothers me most. i'm not jealous of anyone.

I concur with doluck there. I have not one idea where you got the idea that doluck makes thin fiberglass parts? All my doluck items like the wing and front bumper i had in the past was thick material. Top notch material and construction and i don't say that about many things. Japanese products are prolly some of the best made products out there; sorry to say that but that how i feel.
Any fiberglass material can be broken or cracked.

the do-luck kits are thin but the material they use are way stronger than what any vis or u.s. base company use. that is why they are able to make them thinner but are strong. all the jap kits are good and you get what you pay for.

I just wanted to know where I could get some more info on the VIS kit, and where could I buy it from. Is there any where in southern Cali that sells it. How much would it be to paint and install the whole kit, Sc400 how much did it cost you for everything.
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.
