I contacted VisRacing to get more detail info on the body kit and the price, but answering machine indicates that they will be closed from 10/30 to Nov.6 cus of the Sema show.

Hmmmm....

I don't think I would consider this a "VIP" bodykit.

VIS are known to make knock off kits and majority of their kits has fitment issues. I'll stay away from that company.. my .002

The kit has potential. I'm sure if you spent a little extra cash and have the 'eye' to clean it up it would look good. VIS has been producing body kits for a long time now, sometimes they fit good and sometimes they fit like....well...VIS. Not bad mouthing the company but some of these aftermarket companies that deal mainly in knockoffs and producing their own kits don't turn out to well in the fitment department.

I highly doubt this kit is 'VIP'. I'm sure they only labeled it that to attract a certain market to make you think it is.

But its whatever floats your boat, if you like it GET IT!

They still don't have it on their website. Did you get the name of the bodykit yet. Thanks
