Best fiting bodykit

[Cloud9]

I did some research beffore i go buy some areo with shity fitment, so far what i found is....

AIT=sucks
VS=far superior
ORIGIN=near excellent
OEM=the best fitment

This is just about what everyone has said from just about every post ive read, of corse there is always some one that thinks otherwise. My only problem is i havnt found any NEW INFO so i was wondering if this is still right or can anybody say else wise, thanks ahead of time.

[dannyboi]

cant go wrong with VS or Origin

great quality and pretty affordable

[Ricks15]

That list basicly sums it all up.

[chmercer]

origin and vs actually fit quite bad when you compare them to name brand kits
but they fit good enough for zilvia

[mistaanime]

dont' we have a thread on this already?

[dannyboi]

thats what i meant :D

dont' we have a thread on this already?

about 50... but whos counting

[driftenthusiast]

I havent used anything from Ait except for B-magic, but B-magic is very good fit, Origin and VS are same fit, not any better then Bmagic for the stuff ive seen.

[tacotacotaco]

c-west its like spreading hot butter on crisp toast.

[blackflag_Rms13]

You'll be fine with any of those three...

[punxva]

What about chargespeed? anyone have any fitment problems with them?

[VROOOM]

c-west its like spreading hot butter on crisp toast.
i had a cwest front bumper on my old S13. that thing fit like a glove, also it withstood a crash that totaled my car. i have nothing but great things to say about them. they cost alot but well worth it.

[Cloud9]

Just to be clear B-magic kits have better quality than AIT even though they are the same company, I ask this cuz i like the b-magic kit and would like to buy it, I just dont want any shity fitting areo on my car..... Thanks for all the responses to my question also!

VeilSide
We have a high reputation to uphold for excellence.

[phreze]

I would say:

ings +1, bn-sports, uras etc = fantastic fitment
origin = great fitment
v:s = very good fitment
b-magic = ok/poor fitment

but then again it all depends who is fitting it and how close to oem your cars frame is.

[trsilvias13]

Greddy +1 gazillion

fits like oem status + it takes lots of hits, what you'll expect for a $800 msrp bumper

[drift freaq]

Nothing beats factory oem urethane. though good FRP from some companies comes in a close second. C West being one of them( seen there stuff bent in half and have it pop right back) Along with some of the Bomex stuff(the newer stuff from them is looking better in the design department) Ings,Uras,Origin,V:S, never was a big fan of Veilside design wise but I hear there stuff fits well.

[mr_240sx]

well i have cwest kit and it fits awesome!!!

[punxva]

so what about the chargespeed stuff lol

[JVD]

VeilSide
We have a high reputation to uphold for excellence.
So that's why you rock it, right? LOL! Tell those guys to do something already. Jesus...

[Brian]

haha I didn't say I like the designs.
Yeah I've been working on it.
We have a brand new 180 kit coming out... :/
I wish they would let me design something.

[blackflag_Rms13]

Lol, does your new kit actually look good? Or still yucky Veilside?...

[Brian]

garble garble garble

:/

[Edgar]

Gonna have to say that the VS kit I had on my Onevia wasnt that much of a bitch to install but had to prep it a lil. Origin the same when install on S14.
I might let you know about the BN Sports. The B Magic that bad? I was thinking of getting some of that. Might just stick with the VS this time around.

[exitspeed]

so what about the chargespeed stuff lol


Come on ask again...:duh:

Punxva want to know about Chargespeed!:wavey:

[D1champ]

I have an Origin Lab Stream kit waiting to on my silvia..i'll let you guys know how it goes.

[punxva]

So what about chargespeed!!!

[CleanS14]

VERTEX is the best without a doubt. All holes are predrilled in the perfect spots. In my case I got a discount from the bodyshop because of ease of install and fitment.

Oh yah and it doesn't look that bad either...

[Brian]

haha Jay you make me laugh.

I bet VERTEX does fit well. I really like the whole VERTEX kit and I bet it fits amazing. I wish I had a VERTEX kit.

[ESone3]

Origin isn't that great. I still had to heat guns and sand some stuff.

[exitspeed]

So what about chargespeed!!!

Now I think their ignoring you on purpose :hahano:

[punxva]

yea i know, lol respect my blue name and premie privillages!!!

[JVD]

I think the real question is, "who would buy chargespeed?"

[punxva]

i was just adding to the list, im buying a origin kit lol was just wondering how the fit was for them.

[Cloud9]

How about fenders, and rear wide body. They all cost about the same but is there a differance in fitmet as well?? Oh :wavey: ANYONE KNOW ABOUT CHARGE SPEED!!

[theimportguy]

Yes...I too will be purchasing Origin fenders...S13.5's to be precise. Curious as to fitment issues with that. Not sure if I will be doing the rears too, buit I too am curious on their fitment.

[Edgar]

haha Jay you make me laugh.

I bet VERTEX does fit well. I really like the whole VERTEX kit and I bet it fits amazing. I wish I had a VERTEX kit.

Like that old saying goes YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

Vertex Is Nice :D

[TokyoNights]

Just to answer the chargespeed question

from first hand experience( not my car though)
fenders fit awesome and so do the kits
too bad the stuff is soo ugly

I was surprise with the CS front fenders,,my origins fit like crap

[finalforce]

I like how my VIS side skirt and rear veilance fits. The Vertex front end ices the shape of the entire car. I love the look =]

[HKsilvia]

how about stuff from raceonusa, they have some new urethene body kit, anyone have experience? i need some urethene wrapping coz my front bumper is dying

[Xracer]

When it comes to aftermarket part fitment.. it all comes down to what was stated above. you get what you pay for. Ive delt with a wide range of kits. Parts from garbage fiberglass replica kits from ebay or extreme dimensions to straight from Japan Veilside kits.

some of the kits ive had very good fitment with.
Veilside
C-west
Chargespeed
INGS
Vertex

As far as VS and Origin parts go, id say they are about middle. they are by no means OEM fit or up to the level of the above listed kits. They are unbeatable for cars that are going to be drivin hard. Aero gets friggin destroyed drifting. makes no sense to buy expensive JDM stuff. Origin and VS dont fit the greatest but get the job done for drifting.

[CleanS14]

haha Jay you make me laugh.

I bet VERTEX does fit well. I really like the whole VERTEX kit and I bet it fits amazing. I wish I had a VERTEX kit.

What's so funny!?!?!?! It's the troof!!! I swear it's not only cuz they sponsor me :D

[wntrcoatblu240]

i got some EastBear side skirts for 91 240sx.. the fitment was excellent... holes were also predrilled.. so no guess work there... one day i was making a u-turn, took it kind of close, scraped the driver side.. no cracks, still on the car, just needs some new paint..

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v508/imd14u8318/th_Changingrims10.jpg
here's a side view of them...

[jdmspooge]

VERTEX is the best without a doubt. All holes are predrilled in the perfect spots. In my case I got a discount from the bodyshop because of ease of install and fitment.

Oh yah and it doesn't look that bad either...

Without any competition and close to OEM fitment, Vertex all the way and worth the money. I've had experience with vs, origin, ait, etc. and all of these, guaranteed will have fitment issues. I think partly because they are mostly knock off products.

In any case, don't buy them. Save up and purchase authentic parts.:blah:

[Gumballf355]

Chargespeed is awsome...
http://www.dropshots.com/photos/149/20061013/110158.jpg
Here are Chargespeed Kouki fenders that I put on a customer's car... predrilled holes were perfectly placed. Origin fenders aren't predrilled and the mounting points for the headlights and sidemarkers suck. They were slightly warped too... The Chargespeed fenders just fell into place almost as good as OEM.
http://www.dropshots.com/photos/149/20061013/110124.jpg
Origin can be made to fit and look awsome however...
http://www.dropshots.com/photos/149/20061013/162700.jpg
Here is my corolla with the Origin Stylish kit on it... took LOTS of work, but it's awsome now. Looks even better in person.
http://www.dropshots.com/photos/149/20061013/162711.jpg

http://www.dropshots.com/photos/149/20060905/175912.jpg
Took over 4 days to gap everything nicely on the Origin stuff tho.
http://www.dropshots.com/photos/149/20061027/155454.jpg
Here's Chargespeed on my customer's STI... very good fitment again... couldn't complain about anything.
... after it was all said and done... the Origin Stylish kit needed fiberglass work to straighten the rear bumper...
http://www.dropshots.com/photos/149/20061206/114647.jpg
We tossed the Origin front fenders in favor of better fitting Chargespeed.
http://www.dropshots.com/photos/149/20061206/114700.jpg
Moulded the rear overfenders which was easy as pie.
http://www.dropshots.com/photos/149/20061206/114913.jpg

http://www.dropshots.com/photos/149/20061206/114945.jpg
Popped two rivets in the door jam to stop the sideskirt from popping out when you open the door.
http://www.dropshots.com/photos/149/20061206/154232.jpg
...and everyone is happy.

Buhbye.

[Ca_laurier]

my bn sports fits awsome, can't complain

i had b-magic before and i will never buy that shit again, side skirts fit like shit and the rear bumper didn't line up with the rear bumper filler.

i would say stick to origin and versionselect, i know guys with the kits and they fit awsome at a great price.

[srpowereds14]

VERTEX is the best without a doubt. All holes are predrilled in the perfect spots. In my case I got a discount from the bodyshop because of ease of install and fitment.

Oh yah and it doesn't look that bad either...

+1 for VERTEX!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to get mine on!!! Jay where did you get your car painted i need a shop to go to.

[koukikat180sx]

I have OEM type-x kit... the front is saggy. I even have it the Japanese bumper support. :(

[yokotas13]

Uras came with imprints to drill holes, and fit PERFECT, well my hugely pulled fornt fenders made it fit KIND of weird ont eh sides because if the angle it made, but other than that i had to trim NOTHING

[billgerth]

i have a combo of origin skirts and front bumper and VS rear.

VS took MUCH less prep work to get the fitment right than the Origin but still was not a big deal. Maybe it was just my kit or my dad and my perfectionism.

[MadScientist]

OK so here is what I know and have seen and played with...

URAS is gods gift to aero... fitment is effortless and if you get the Hybrid you can literally roll it up in a ball then install it with no damage or effort... crazy shit but its the best, from the best. If Ken sees a URAS kit on a Car he seriously runs up to it and kicks the hell out of it, then laughs!!

Masa Motorsports is awsome and I have had no complaints from any customers.
Garage-S is Good... the Hoods are very very nice... the Fenders were OK, not what I expected, had to do alot of work triming and re-drilling, but overall they were nice.
J-Blood is Awsome... first thing we ever got from them was a FRP hood... it was very thick and super strong, no sagging... the Aero Kits are super Nice and well thought out, pre-drilled, and perfect flexablity.
Hippo Sleek - Aero kits are equal quality as J-Blood, Do-Luck, Run-Free, C-West, DRFT, Veilside, INGS,... super nice!!
GP-Sports is actually a little easy to break not sure why but Its still very good and very high quallity... pre-drilled, etc..

I got a VIS kit in for a local guy and made plans to help him instal... Once I seen how bad that shit was I told him I wouldn't touch it and to take it to a Body Shop!!

I know I have missed other kits we have had pass through in the last 5 years.

Peace
Drew

[yokotas13]

dude you forgot WOrks ( duhh!!!!

[CKAMC]

drew (raretrick) any knowledge on vanquish-equipment aero kits?

Glad to hear good stuff on hipposleek :)

I had a VIS hood come in for a coworker's G-coupe and it fit SNUG.

[yokotas13]

THe Vanquish fenders are the POOP!!!
http://www.vanquish-equipment.jp/fender.htm
I had a friend get them to be a guniea pig before i ordered my fenders, and they are butter!
on par with uras

:-/ ... when did this happen? because you never told me when you baught your fenders and I asked you that question....

I hope its just fenders... because I like the bumper and skirts

[yokotas13]

i havent Bought fenders for me yet
I just have all 4 rolled and pulled

Im waiting for the right set of wheels to come along to justify them

[Johny5]

haha man, not that i even like it, or the company for that matter (worthless pieces of shit). but b*magic stuff fits pretty good, both kits i had were nearly effortless install and lined up good on the body.

ebay works9 has been iffy at best haha

[LB.Motoring]

lol at the whole thread, I see kids on here saying how good vertex and other brands are, when I highly doubt they even know if what they have is even real. 80% of aero on zilvia is fake. sorry.

[yokotas13]

yay im in the 20%!

[lilredstiffy]

ebay aero is for the real men

make it fit, save the money. its really not THAT bad.


pretty much, all of the expensive aero is going to fit quite well

[snatch13]

Origin isn't that great. I still had to heat guns and sand some stuff.

hmm interesting... maybe its cuz Origin USA is out here in the Midwest, but everyone I've talked to seems to think it fits awesome.

[Dousan_PG]

my origin fits real good
little stuff here and there but overall quite good

[MadScientist]

Most people that have Origin or VIS have step-up in the game or started with that, because its easy to get. The people that have step-down for track or other reasons can easily see the difference.

VIS hoods are actually really nice... but you do have to watch out for bubbles in the carbon weave... when they laid it down dry, if not rolled out it will create air bubble design in the pattern.... seen this alot on US made Carbon Hoods.

Peace
Drew

[EJ253]

has anyone had problems with the version select: V1 on the S14 zenki???

i'll probably be buying it soon. will it be necessary to have it installed at a body shop. i want it to look nice

[chmercer]

no easy to install in driveway, sand paper and self tapping screws, maybe a file or a dremel.

[EJ253]

cool. how much about would it cost do you guys think if i did have a body shop do it?

[Johny5]

body shop? for $500 bodykit install? jesus man you can seriously easily do it yourself!

[mr_240sx]

yea seriously....just take stock bumper off, install body kit front bumper and see what needs trimming....and then go from there.

[Brian]

Version Select type 1 on S14 zenki?
Well, I thoguht you'd never ask...

The whole kit was put onto my car with nothing more than a few zipties.
I'll leave your opinion up to you.
I think it fits fine.
Only problem is driver side headlight area, but I think that is much more my car's fault, rather than the kit...

dont you know........ it gives you better cooling efficiency and its JDM TYTE YO!!!!111!!!

[chmercer]

its because when your shit flies off at a track you dont rip your wiring harness in half

[Shaminii]

Has anybody gotten any experience with the B-Magic U-Type aero kit for the Kouki S14? I'm looking to get one soon. I'm mainly looking for a front bumper w/ the grill and bumper as one piece.

[Johny5]

i guess you don't fucking read very well huh? i have already posted info about b*magic in this thread as well as many others. this is the specific kit i was talking about.

woot woot

[GreekRPS13]

hells yea Origin for sure

[Kouki]

I have a Version Select kit going on my S13. I got eveything fit, I've had several other kits on different cars, and also put a few kits on cars for friends. I've learned that no matter if you buy the cheapo ebay stuff, or a high quality top name kit that they will all require some work to fit perfect. The difference in the cheapo stuff and high end stuff is the amount of work required to get a good fitment. I also see some people complain about some kits not having the holes in them already. I prefer them to not have any holes drilled. Then you can set the parts on, figure out where they need to be, then drill the holes in the exact location to get the best fit. If they already have holes, you will more than likely have to use a die grinder and open them up to get the pieces to sit where they need to be to have proper spacing and fitment. The Version Select kit was pretty good, minimal problems with fitment, pretty much set the parts on, do a little grinding around the edges to get everything flush, then mark and drill the holes. The part that took the longest was cutting the front bumper to fit around the intercooler and pipes. Here's a few pics with it put on, not painted yet, but got everything fit. Keep in mind that there is nothing holding the sides on, but will sit flush once the bolts go in. Hope this helps some of you out (if so please give me some rep:bigok: )

[nevaland9]

haha Jay you make me laugh.

I bet VERTEX does fit well. I really like the whole VERTEX kit and I bet it fits amazing. I wish I had a VERTEX kit.


Vertex will rule the world with toyota one day. they already teamed up and made the Vertex GS.

[[email protected]]

ings fitment is dead on, a notch above c-west. top secret is the best fitment you'll find but they only offer a f/b for the 180. uras is suprisingly good, i've not been too impressed with anything from any of the other chinese produced products like origin or jp though.

[Ninjabread]

Anyone on here have G-Grow?

[KiDyNomiTe]

Cwest stuff fits like crap from my experiences. To be honest all the "expensive" stuff can fit great, but it also can fit like crap, I have heard and seen good and bad about almost every major kit company.

Nobody can guarantee effortless "perfect" fitment, depends on how picky you are and the condition of your car. Most everything can be fixed though if it doesnt fit well.

[mr_240sx]

well my c west kit fit pretty much dead on.... just a little of trimming needed for the sideskirts cause the door was rubbing a bit when closing but ive yet to see a kit that doesnt need trimming there. or trimming anywhere for that matter. the way i see it is unless your buying oem youll need to trim or make it fit.

[Yuri]

I've run B-magic on my 3 S13s.
They are excellant in terms of balance between cost, fitment, and durability.
So far, the current S14 bumper on my car has withstood to being knocked off at the track (x4), and coming off on the freeway (x2), with only a few scrapes and scratches. This was all due to the bolts and zipties coming loose.
In terms of fitment, everything has always lined up, with the sole exception being a warped front fender, but 7/8 front fenders fitting well seem to be a good percentage. I've also hit the wall at Irwindale, and the rear fender flexed and didn't break even though the unibody got shorter by a few inches.

I'd say it's a good brand to go with if you track your car and want aero that fits well and can hold up, but won't cost you much.

As for my next car (not an S-chassis, it's a surprise) , I plan on getting aero from Arden. but with its MSRP,:bite:, it's coming off at the track. I know. I'm a pussy.

[wanganwonder]

i love cheap aero

my front has come off more times than i can count, i have smacked a cone dead straight in the middle of the bumper at ~50, then did the bank at NOS while pushing it along in front of me.

it has a couple cracks

that's it

i think god has plans for this bumper, because it's clearly not its time yet.

don't know what brand. it's uras knockoff though. maybe c-wings? call terry henderson if you want it.

also my side skirts have held up for 2 years, still on there.

[WERDdabuilder]

what i want to know is...

how can i get my hands on a "wise square" kit.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

VERTEX is the best without a doubt. All holes are predrilled in the perfect spots. In my case I got a discount from the bodyshop because of ease of install and fitment.

Oh yah and it doesn't look that bad either...

Well the body shop did mine for free since the kit was so awesome and gangsta!

Oh it was BN SPORT!

:D

[Brian]

haha "WERDdabuilder"
you gave me negative rep for some reason.

annnnyyyways

Wise Square - hit up Drift Speed. They get that stuff.
There ya go sweetheart. <3

[Flybert]

haha "WERDdabuilder"
you gave me negative rep for some reason.

annnnyyyways

Wise Square - hit up Drift Speed. They get that stuff.
There ya go sweetheart. <3

AHAHAHAHA he gave me neg rep too on another thread but it might not actually be him because he spelled his SN wrong when he signed it. If it was, I could care less though.

[WERDdabuilder]

wow you fuckin serious? if anyone is gettin a neg rep from me and its signed with my user name or any name, it isnt me. its EndLeSS8.
but thanks again for the help with the kit.

[kensreliableb18b]

yup, i got neg rep from "you" too. hmmm i wonder who it is

[C. Anderson]

Does anyone have experience with how the Dmax D1 front fenders fenders fit? S13 silvia front to be exact.

[C. Anderson]

Has anyone had experience with these yet?
