***EDIT*** Whoa, what the crap? I got a reply notice in my e-mail that a reply was posted by 1993SCTT saying "what wheels are you planning to get with this kit?". Sooo... yea, this answers that question. Very odd...

How about the 97+ conversion? Don't like it?

Default VIS bodykit

I had that same VIS kit on my SC400. Everything looks fine except the front lower part of the bumper flares out on the side too much. Is it possible to bend or roll the fiberglass? Can I use the heat gun?

If that is your blue car, you should be worrying more about the website (Andy's Autosport) using your pic, not the original poster. He just took it from their website.

UH-Oh...

330 for the bumper? Sheesh. Genuine bomex only costs 230.

version select kits have a reputation for good fitment and quality with 240sx owners. Many people have their kits now and are pleased with them.

go with www.tougefactory.com They have great customer service and are very speedy. Best to call them instead of email. I have bought some rims from them before and I'll be ordering the version select SC kit from them soon.

Well first of all, chill out and don't get beligerant (sp?).
Secondly, I got all of those pics straight from AndysAutosport.com, so take it up with them.

...and thanks, Thomas.

There is a guy on SupraForum who actually went to the headquarter of Version select and took a tour. (illinois)
According to him,

Since you need to be a member to view the page, I'll copy and paste.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well... ive got amazing news (and ill have pictures once i find my docking station)...

here is the walk thru:
i showed up at the warehouse, the guys working there were extremely nice... they walked me through the warehouse and gave me a nice little tour... they then took me over to the bodykits which were all nicely sealed and in place (not thrown in a corner)... all of the kits were in good condition and well stored (so you dont have to worry about damaged product)

next i looked over the actual kit itself. all the kits were made of handlaid fiberglass. not a single kit had a bubble in it. most of the prep work was already done (like sanding out waves and cleaning up any imperfections). all edges were sharp and clean (no hack cut jobs). all high stress areas were upto an 1/8in thick (like the bottom of the bumper had many additional layers so it wouldnt crack on a speed bump).

the salesman then gave me a demo of the sturdiness of the kits themselves... he took the sideskirt and bent it 90* in both directions repeatedly for almost a minute! no cracks, no issues, no stress sounds, and it just popped back into shape like nothing ever happened... all in all i think this kit will handle a ****load of abuse...

i am buying the kit tomorrow and swinging it by my bodyshop for a professional opinion... version select said they would stand behind the kit, and if it ended up being a complete piece of crap then id get it taken care of...

i will have more updates when M&B Autobody looks over the pieces but i am really satisfied with what i saw

(i will post pics when i find my docking station as well as the video of the guy twisting and turning the sideskirt)

edit: 870 + shipping is price for whole kit
i dont think they will part out... only whole kit

So, I decided to get this Version Select front bumper to replace my bomex. Should arrive next week.

Haha..I'm going through bumpers like underwears.

3 JICs -> 1 Bomex -> 1 Version
