Which brands have yall dealt with, your experiences with the kits, customer service...??? Right now I'm interested in Extreme Dimensions and Vision. Vision is ALOT cheaper but both are made with FRP and have the same style kit. Any comments are appreciated.

Stay away from knock offs, I hate knock offs, they fitted like poo on my car.

The two brands mentioned are complete crap. From my readings I came to believe that Version Select is one of the best knock off brands. They are said to be great fitting, and very strong. No personal experience here, just what I have read.

I had Extreme Dimension on my last hatch, the front bumper fit good, the side skirt were a little too tight, the rear bumper fit ok, except it leave some space under the taillight, also keep in mind, its not only the fitment of the bodykit, but the person who install it, you can get the most expensive kit out there but if the installer lack experience it won't come out right.

Dam n That made quite a difference, can't deny the evidence, that knock off looks weak sitting next to origin. Both pics taken from same angle in same place and everything. Perfect example duffman.

I agree with this, but at the same time, I don't know how comfortable I'd feel tearing an expensive body kit apart when I get off the track on a drift. Maybe rock a knockoff on the track (or no bumper at all) and then get the real deal for street driving..? I don't know. I want Navan for my Zenki, so I'll have to make this decision soon enough.

I actually don't know the brand, I just bought it how it was, knowing it was a knock off but I was stupid and decided to take my chances

Extreme Dimensions is crap. I've never even heard of "Vision."

The most I would ever get from them is a lip or a spoiler. You get what you pay for.
