Default VIS Racing has new Widebody kit

I saw in the latest Modified Mag in the VIS Racing ad a Widebody kit based on the JIC style kit. I went to the website and don't think it's on there, can anyone get bigger pics?


Thx
Just wanna see if they did a good job with the design- can't tell from such a lil pic!

Anything VIS branded have been bashed here more times than I can count...I'm curious to see what they have come up with now...I can bet that it comes no where close to fitting correctly...

I dont understand these companies that make these kits, ...and they dont fit. Why go through all that trouble, with a mold, that sometimes isnt even close.

Although I agree with the above members about VIS products, here's a bigger picture of the WBK.



P.S.

You can potentially have fitment problems with expensive bodykits as well. Clean SC had horrible fitment with his wald kit and it was around $1100, another member had the same issue with a different Wald kit. I also have a buddy who has the Origin kit on his Silvia ($800ish) and it had fitment problems also. So if you want a kit buy it and expect fitment issues no matter what kit you buy, and if you have no problems then great.

I don't mind the front bar, at least it doesn't look like an obvious knock-off... rear quarter panel is *** though.

Dang I would think they know better than to create something as horrindous as that body kit. No matter what you say there is nothing you can say or do to make that look good unless you destroy the kit altogether.

I knew I shouldn't have clicked this thread when I saw VIS, but when I saw widebody I thought there would be hope...

I didn't really think it looked THAT bad up until I noticed the rear fenders... The front bar/lip looks like it got warped in the sun or something.

It looks like they used a side vent in the front fender, and then... Well, I don't know what to say about that rear fender... Is that an air-catcher?!?! wtf- Front doesn't look bad though.
