just want to give my opinion on vis parts. by no means of what im saying am i trying to "sell" anything on the forum, so moderators please dont take my opinion in the wrong way ive just had experience in selling a lot of fiberglass parts in the past and some from vis also.
VIS picks great kits to duplicate. the problem is most of all the kits ive sold in the past, do not fit at all. i use to be big in the lexus scene selling body kits and the kit they had for the sc300/400 did not fit at all the side skirts was about an inch and a half short, the front can go on but didnt look right like it was off to the right or left which i cant remember. the rear was about the only piece that fit "ok" on the car.
now with that said, here's a defense to my own statement. I myself have a private line of products in fiberglass manufacturing for scions. i dont plan on doing versa stuff at the moment but if there ever is a need to do it im sure ill become a site sponsor. anyhow, the old quote "fiberglass is fiberglass" is not entirely true. making the mold to the person laying the fiberglass is all what determines how the final product comes out. the parts that i make myself i fit and make sure they are good for the mold that is going to be made. now with that said, the mold should be about 95-100% dead on. when the production pieces start getting made, sometimes the part is pulled out too early which is what causes initial warpage on the piece. those i toss in the trash or find funny uses for them. but i make sure the original piece fits perfect that the mold was made from.
with vis parts i dont know how their QC is but in the past it wasnt to my expectation. i use to sell their parts but since i ran across those kind of problems i stopped and started distributing other companies fiberglass products which i have not had any problems with. The extreme dimensions B2 kit for example fits like a glove. how do i know this? i have it on my car and can vouch for it. but yeah thats my 2 cents hope it helped your thoughts on the kit a little. dont get me wrong that kit is HOT.
