"Kenstyle" body kit for $1500...

[M4point5]

Have been searching around and playing with different ideas...from custom front lip to 08 non-sport bumper, etc. Came across a body kit that hasnt been mentioned here I dont think.

Kenstyle....YET ITS NOT Kenstyle. Yes Kenstyle has been mentioned....but this is "K Speed" made by VIS Racing. Exact Kenstyle clone...just like Sarona cloned the OEM and Ings aero kits. So if you dont want to shell out $3000+, you can buy the VIS kit for $1500. Have been contemplating it but I cant get over the grille and foglight area. I could always modify it but ehh...

Anyway, the info is here now...do with it what you will.

This one?

Yea thats the one. Still trying to get confirmation from VIS whether it has the chrome bumper trim or not. It is specifically molded for the chrome so...

Id be interested in front bumper. Mine has a crack and oem replacement is not that much cheaper but this one looks better. Not sure about the grill

Just got confirmation from VIS that their kit DOES NOT come with the chrome trim. The Kenstyle kit comes with it...this can be confirmed at kenstyleusa website. I have no idea if the front bumper chrome is the same as the rear or what...as far as I know, only the 08+ non-sport comes with that chrome trim. The front bumper didnt come with any chrome.

ALSO, the rear bumper wont fit on the 08+ without modification...the front bumper will though.

How about front bumper for 07? Would it fit right on? can i reuse fog lights

[M4point5]

That VIS kit will bolt directly onto the 06 and 07. If you have 08-10, the rear bumper will not fit without modification but the side skirts and front bumper will. But that VIS front bumper would fit your 07 no problem...only thing would be you need to source those chrome corner pieces....dealer part, junk yard, etc.

Oh there is a hole where chrome trims supposed to be? I dont care about chrome parts i'd paint em over, but where am i supposed to get parts to fill holes.

The chrome trim is like what you find on the non sport 08+ rear bumper. You can find the molding on infinitipartsusa.com...youll need the left and right side both to fill those gaps. The front and rear bumper both use the rear trim...because the front OEM bumper never had that chrome trim.

Sorry this kit's not my cup of tea. I prefer the low but curved inward at the bottom look over outward. Plus I would steer away from fiberglass body kits. ABS plastics are much stronger and better molded.

Guess you hate every kit then even all the way up to Junction Produce. They are all fiberglass...even the real Kenstyle. Aimgain, Impul, etc....all fiberglass. That "plastic stuff" is OEM or if Duraflex. Good luck getting them to make anything for an M.

I do agree with you though...I like the bumpers that "curve in" but the outward juts are for a more sporty look. Oh well, I wont be buying thia anyways...was just throwing jt out there.
