Default Any opinions on V-Speed Type II body kit?

Anyone have the V-Speed Type II body kit on their 92-96 SC? Just wondering what the pros/cons about it...how does it fit, how hard is it to install, etc. Is it a common body kit? I kinda want to get something that not everyone has....TIA for any feedback

do a search for "v-speed", you'll get plenty of results. I think everybody that got the kit agreed that it didn't fit very well.

Default Warning!

I have one on my car, check my gallery for pics. I can tell you in detail what was wrong out of the box. I would not recommend it, unless you know a good body shop that has done lots of this work. My kit came with the wrong side skirts, and without the front bumper diffuser.

The problems in a nutshell: Holes for headlights too low, hood line too high, rear bumper light holes too small, rear bumper warped away from car, and minor bumps and waves throughout the fiberglass.

Other than those problems the kit looked alright. It took my body shop 2 weeks to fix the kit and now I'm more than happy with the results, because my shop ended up cutting me a deal.

I'd be happy to post in more detail if this wasn't enough info, or PM me, I have tons of pics of the build up on my pc
