Origin Lab quality and fitment

[King 240]

Looking at the Origin Lab Stylish kit for my Sileighty conversion. I was curious if anyone who ACTUALLY HAS THE KITS, how is the fitment and quality?

Thanks for any information

[ByeByeSti]

from what ive heard origin fits pretty well. with the exception of over fenders being a bit off but for the most part are an easy fix

[Dousan_PG]

ORIGIN fits really good imo

not as good as my BN
not as shitty as my old AIT kit

not as good as VERTEX

but not as bad as AIT and shit

its probably like a 7-8 on fitment out of 10

bn and vertex are like 9.5 to 10 of 10

id say origin fits realy good not PERFECT but really good. minimal wrk required

[srpowereds14]

^^^^^^ i agree with aaron, the only issue with my VERTEX kit was the fenders for some weird reason the passenger side corner light didn't line up so i had to drill new mounting holes in the headlight it was off by a few mm's other than that the kit already had pre-drilled holes and all of them lined up perfectly granted your car was never in an accident etc.... but origin is a pretty good brand imo thats the same kit we are putting on my bros car.

This man knows! Origin is pretty good. Minimal work.

My W9 replica. LOL. Oh god. Fitting it right now. Such terrible molding. It's gonna be ok, but nothing like Origin on my bros R32. Can't wait till it explodes.

[tougemaster]

Have Origin Side .. fit ok i said.. though Origin would fit like Uras and Bn but it didnt...

[srpowereds14]

Can't wait till it explodes.


HAHAHAH i've heard about cheapy kits explode into pieces lol.

[sa3reghatch]

I have the Origin Stream kit on my sileighty and fitment is just about perfect. Will be getting the 30mm over fenders for the rear, hopefully those fit just as good as the kit.

Here are a few pics.

[smelly240]

my origin fenders fit alright - not flawless but hey it was cheap :)

better than cheapy ebay stuff

[JVDSKYRINE]

Yeah like my bro said my origin kit for my skyline was almost flawlesss!!! All i had to do was drill holes and cut around my intercooler but most stuff bolted up perfect...Other than the skirts rub on the doors a little and sometimes i gotta slam my doors soo its taking the paint off but if its not a show car then who gives a shit

[jackal264]

i'm rockin the s14.5 fenders and they fit like shit. i also have the rear overs which were ok and a version select kit wich fit good.

fyi for those who don't know or havn't figured it out VS and origin are the same company. their products are made and shipped from the same place.

[d*star180]

Ive had alot of Origin shit over the years.
Side skirts, rear bumper, roof wing, 3pc rear wing.
ALL of it has fit fucking almost perfect. Ive seen some ill fitting shit.
Ive personally never had to sand, bondo, fill, grind, dremel any of their products to put it on. Just paint and attach.

[marios13]

Ditto with my kit too ^^^

[HyperTek]

test fitting my origin stylish
http://i31.tinypic.com/1627210.jpg
my fenders are raceonusa so thats why shit dont line up in the front

[eastcoastS14]

how strong are origin lab kits? can they withstand potholes etc or will they just get destroyed really easily?

[HyperTek]

its thin as JDM kits usually are.. not as forgiving as other stuff.. cheap ebay stuff seems to be thicker.. but you can imidiately tell the quality when you pick it up.. very nice and light weight.

I scored my origin kit from touge factory on ebay for $96 plus shiiping.. it originally had damage from being shipped from japan, hence you can see the repair areas *sideskirts completely broken in half etc* .. rx7 people dont really buy aero or are too cheap to even try things i think.

i currently have a AIT gp sports knock off kit right now on the car.. its held up good and its a thicker more flexible fiberglass..

I usually rub holes into the front of the bumpers where they typically rub against the ground going up and down driveways.. thicker fiberglass stuff tends to hold up better.. so I layed a few layers of extra fiberglass to the origin.. Havent driven on it yet.. no reason to make the car 2 tone when it looks ok right now.

[hellaflush]

i must say... fitted 2x dmax kits this weekend

holy hell - dmax fitment is 9.5/10!

origins latest few batches here in australia have caused some problems for people... poor fitment

but end of the day - comes down to how bent your car is lol

[HyperTek]

i cant really judge fitment on my kit because i think its a lil warped on teh sideskirts, but its probably due to the repairs that i had to do to em since again like i stated, shit was broke lol

[Bubbles]

but end of the day - comes down to how bent your car is lol

In all seriousness I think this plays a bigger role than some people realize.

Not to mention, BN and DMax aren't really in the same price range as Origin.

Hard to compare, really.

I beat the shit out of my car last season. Sway bar had less than an inch of clearance from the ground. I ripped the sides and rear off HUNDREDS of times.
Ran that shit over, drifted with it dragging behind me, under me, over me, whatever. At the end of the day i could just ziptie it right back on for the most part.

[Brian]

I have never complained about my ORIGIN parts.

usually just drill a hole here and there and ziptie it on.

Never actually done any work to them... to get them to fit.

[Flybert]

On my s13 coupe rear bumper, I had to trim a smidge to get it to wrap around the back. The front fit perfect first time. Never had origin sides. Overall, I've been very pleased with the fitment.

[wayneside]

on the S15...the kit fit perfect...

on the 350z...a little work needed to happen...

so i'd say it varies.

[qt_240]

fenders are ok.. but everything else is pretty decent.. i have the stylish on my coupe

[srpowereds14]

With all this said nothing is PERFECT.......

[Gumballf355]

They're good... I have them for my s14 and my corolla. Yes Vertex is WAY better... awesome fitment... but also almost 3xs the price. I got Vertex too.

[King 240]

Hmm with all thats been said here, I believe I'll go with the Origin setup.

[Gumballf355]

Yeah. my fenders were a little tweaked too... but not too bad. Kit fit real well tho.

Took some heating to straighten things out... plus epoxying some aluminum bars in. Nice end product tho.

[TheArkitekt]

origin fits great on my car, not as well as my chargespeed front, but still good

[s14alex]

Hmm with all thats been said here, I believe I'll go with the Origin setup.

Where's that hundred bucks you owe me for the shitty maf you sent me?

Don't trust a word out of this asshole's mouth

[Aeroscraper326]

Stylish fits really well on my sil, shits gay though
silvia front is not meant to be on hatch. Circa 02' shit.
Fuck it though building My BN Blister coupe.
shits gonna be fire.

[SIXSEVENONE]

i personally think origins fitments is pretty good! i got a body kit,trunk lip wing,roof wing, crystal clear lights for the bumper, tail lights, and havent had any trouble! heres some pics:

[jackjack]

fits damn good imo. i trashed my chargespeed front bumper, so i bought an origin front to replace it. i'm happy.

[origin_s135]

fitment is good but it wasn't on point. check the right side of the headlight where the bumper and fender connects. but overall it's all good. my old chargespeed hood wasn't really perfect for some reason though. but when i got the type2 origin hood it filled up the gaps on the side. woot!

[King 240]

Nice looking cars guys, I'm going to go with the Origin kit for my car

[Gavster]

I like mine OK....I have the stylish on my zenki...it fits so-so...its the only aftermarket stuff ive had (all OEM aero on other cars) and it needed some work, but Im a little fussier than others! Id give them a B/B+.....

[DJ_Sunrise]

King 240 you scammer! I'm glad you are showing your face again. So how long do I have to wait till you send me a reply saying you are soooo busy that you cant send me my sr transmission? Please guys, avoid this douche bag. Do not buy from this faggot scammer. Please do not deal with this scammer. I bought a transmission from him 10 months ago. Search for my posts for the S13 transmission. You will see I did. He took my money, and he NEVER sent me a transmission. He simply ran. I live in NJ, he lives in Texas... Obviously I cant go break his legs, but trust me I would. I reported him to paypal, but it was too late. He kept making promises, and then he went on vacation, and then and then.. and then I never received my transmission. Always something but no transmission. He kept on making excuses constantly, saying things like "be patient". If you would like more information, I have ALL PMs, emails, and I will even provide proof through paypal. His real name is Steve Ellis.

Here are some emails. Here is one of the First. I tracked him down to a texas 240sx forum.

1)
Bart,
Excuse the time of contact as yes I have been busy with alot of stuff and
this was last thing on my mind. I can't get into my zilvia account thus I
CAN'T get any information. So lets try this again, need your address.

Sorry for the complications,
-Steven-

2)Its cool man, I completely would have to agree with you I'd be pretty pissed
as well.
So lets get this taken care of ASAP.

Whats the address?

-Steve-

3)Personally dude I've been trying to get this resolved and have asked you to be patient, I understand you are upset about the whole situation but I'm sorry if I have other things coming at me with more of a need to be taken care of.

Do what you want, I'll get to it when I can.

Since you have been completely ignoring me, I have decided to take further action. By Jan 1st, I assure you that you will be known as a con, and a scammer on the texas forums. If I do not receive a paypal refund by then, and I several other members from your forums will post every email, and instant message I have had with you. We will send all the emails and IM's to other administrators. Thank you for screwing me out of my money. Seeing you squirm will be pleast. I wish you the worst of luck. May you be damned from here on out.

-Bart (The guy whose money you stole)


There are many more emails. All with the same theme, ohhh im sooooo busy, I dont have enough time. But I bet you had enough time to spend my money you son of a bitch. one day im going to pay you a visit in texas you faggot. I tried both getting my s13 sr transmission from him, and trying to get my money from him. Nothing worked.

-Bart



You fucking cocksucker!!! you said you dont have the money to reimburse me, yet you have money to buy replacement parts and you make money from selling parts? wow. SEND ME MY TRANSMISSION OR SEND ME MY MONEY!!!

[Aeroscraper326]

TAKE IT ELSEWHERE.

Homo trannies and kings don't belong in this thread.


It's all about being Stylish, Origin style up in this beast.

[sillyvia13]

hahaha...too funny...add some spice to the thread...

Origin ftw.
only I cant afford it...so I get cheap ish...o well.

[DJ_Sunrise]

I am sorry I have to post this stuff everywhere.. But he is currently selling parts on these forums, and I do NOT want anyone to fall for his shit. He apparently has a tendency to sell a few small things, and never deliver on large items. If anyone has recently bought from him, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with his current address. Here is what his room mates had to say...

1)
I used to be roomates with steve in tx, believe me he does to you what he does to pretty much everyone else. I believe he sold the sr tranny to someone in tx. I have his address in college station for ya incase you decide to take a road trip for an ass whooping. me and his other former roomate are still owed alot of money for the deposit and shit. he scams alot of people on houston240sx.com and texasnissans.com if you feel so inclined to rant there about his shaddy dealings, but they already know
here ya go

Steve J Ellis
701 Hereford st.
College Station, TX
77840

oh and I believe this is still his cell number 979-492-9222. and heres his moms number 979-492-6936

any other info you might need feel free to ask for it. if I can help in anyway let me know.

enjoy

2)
believe me it was always something when it came time to pay the rent and utilities, he was nowhere to be found for weeks, we always had to cover it. he recently bought rims for his car and a new sr20 so Im pretty sure he had the money to ship your tranny. if you want to post about him being a fraud on other forums and screwing people go ahead. search some of those sites as well for plenty of threads on him screwing people there in tx. no need to make a list of parts or anything, I did it as, lets say a professional courtasy to someone who feels your pain. anything else you may need let me know.

These were both written by his room mates. My next step is to report him to the FBI internet crime watch. I will keep everyone informed.

[silnismo]

damn bart,

how were you able to get his mom's number?:cool:
