Has anyone dealt with them or their products? Im looking at some of their stuff and its all knock-off products but im just wondering what the quality of their stuff is. I know you get what you pay for blah* blah* blah*, im just curious
They have an account on here, ask them i guess. This thread will probably end up deleted like somebodies other thread.

I am also very curious about them. It seems that they do knock offs, or at least, replicas of other makes...
I was looking at the silvia conversion kit, C-Wings... check out their stuff on their page... They also got lots of stuff on ebay...
Let's hope the guy posts something up here...

Nah, they are cool. Talk to George. He'll hook you up. I just got their K's Style s13 silvia front bumper and the M Sport s13 silvia front fenders. The fenders fit alright, they are a little flimsy and need some work to get them in. Haven't tackled the bumper yet, still working on the fenders.

Actually this is the first thread on zilvia about them. I tried searching before I bought my stuff from them. But wasn't anything. But I went out on a limb on them and they are good. I got all my stuff from Cali to South Carolina in 4 days.

Anyone with experience with their carbon hoods? They look to be decent to me, but im not gonna throw down $300 on a hood that i don't know about and that might crack on me or not line up right, ect.

i got a vis one from fatboy garage on ebay for $500 shipped and it fits perfect. not the lightest hood, but fitment is great and quality is great too. raceon sells gtp and when i emailed them they said they carry all gtp and can beat importfan's prices. they have a vertex knockoff i was thinking bout

"You get what you paid for" is pretty much a dieing comment with kits now, I believe quality with kits is going up. So give it a try and tell us. Im sure there delivery and customer service is good, its the product that will do the final talking.

I always like DRFT kit and they have the knockoff for kinda cheap.
very interesting... I just have to wait till someone gets it and see how the fitment is.

thye should have pics of the actual product they are selling notpics of the real thing. i wanna see better pic before i commit to buying. the prices are awsome though. makes me wana buy it. i think someone on freshalloy has the k-style front bumper and put acura cl lights in it which was my plan too. its a flat black coupe i tink w/ a carbon fiber hood. can't remember his name though, anyone know who im talking about

06-22-2004, 06:52 PM
I'v got an idea!! How about we all pitch in a little money, buy the oem style s13 cf hood for my coupe...and I will let you guys now how it fits :bigok:
Yeah, im tempted too for the DFRT kit, fitament shouldnt be too bad, especially when you know the prices you paid.
Im too skeptical too, especially with a company that rips other companies pics.
But hot damn, if you can get a your shop to accept the package, which wouldnt be too hard, you can get a full body kit for 130 dollars!!!!

if they have n account here they should chime in any time now. i want real pics dammit, my friend is telling me not to get a kit seeing as im haveing trouble w/ bodywork as is and he said they are a bitch to make fit and all. we need better pics!!!! i also emailed them asking them for pics and asking what the deal w/ thier pricing is, 3 days ago the "vortex" ss were $152.50 then the next day they were special order and now today they are $249.00. WTF? i hope they chime in, i'll post again if they get back to me in my email

they got back to me, i asked them bout the prices and for pics, here it is
Hi,
Here's actual pictures of the ks front bumper:
http://importfan.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3767
Sorry, but we don't have pictures of the vortex replica front.
The prices changed because our distributor raised the prices on us, hence
the price change.
Thank you,
this is what i wrote back
the pics are linked to importfan.com website. do you sell through importfan? why don't you have any pics of the vertex knockoff? do just not have them instock? i find it hard to sell a product, but not have actual pitures of the product you are selling. if you can take pictures and of the bumper and then the bumper mounted i would gladly buy it, but right now i don't have enough trust in your company to actually purchase. do any of your customers have websites and pics of the products they bought. im on a nissan forum and there has been alot of interest in your products but no one has bought anything because you dont have actual pictures of the products. we might even be interested in a group buy if it was possible. also who manufactures the body kits? gtp? thank you and i hope you can answer my questions

Hey Guys,
Raceonusa.com is a GTP/Cwings distributor just like ourselves. The owner of their store is a previous GTP employee. Basically, they carry VIS and GTP. This makes up their entire product line.

When i bought my fenders from them, they were wanting pics of them installed and painted because they don't have any other than the ones they have now. My car goes to the body shop next week and I will post pics of my bumper and fenders from them. But I must say, the K's Style bumper seems to be good quality, its really think (probably about a 1/4 inch) and isn't flimsy and a piece of crap unlike other knockoffs i have bought that you can just about see through.

I took the chance and bought a set of the S14 to S15 carbon fiber fenders. I know that my statement just made me sound like I just crowned King Ricer but I got a good price and they arrived in a timely fashion. But they are exactly what I said I would get. I have also a set of Speed Alliance conversion fenders and if anyone was wondering these carbon fiber ones fit almost perfectly. I don’t agree with the charge speed issue but I am pleased with my service. These fenders too were not in stock when I first inquired but he worked with me until they were available. I have mixed feeling with raceonusa, pleased with the service but I too know about his dispute with SilviaDriver. Granted I’m just one case, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

i'm purchasing the ings+1 s14 front/sides from them in a couple weeks or so, i will post fitment pics. personally, i think all of you guys need to form your OWN opinions about these places. This gtp vertex knockoff which i've seen up close and abused kicks total ass. The fitment is spectacular and it holds semi-good for a fiberglass bumper. therefore, i'm not affraid of gtp products even if i have to play with fitment. i mean cmon, you guys buy AIT and it fits like shit, is it different because its sold on jspec or something? i WOULD be trying that version:SELECT vertex knockoff but i have a jdm rear bumper and would prefer a kit that utilizes it with valences instead of a full bumper replacement. sorry, thats my story.

I love the image he posted.
He can't spell, which obviously demonstrates what intelligence they have.
Alongside that, they're slandering a product that clearly doesn't have magic marker written all over it, as Justin over there has that actual trunk that was pictured. Sure there were other issues with the product, but clearly magic marker wasn't one of them.
They're just unprofessional. I emailed them about the usage of my photography, not what they did - I'm a professional photographer and take all my work seriously. I don't appreciate any of it being used and edited in any way, shape, or form. They have a lot more coming to them beyond this taking it lightly as a joke. Anything and everything I do is copyrighted and the fact that I can easily right click -> save as the image that they edited is enough for me to take action.
That's not a real company, that's a joke. Completely unprofessional and they won't be around much longer anyways.

as far as i care
any of you interested in buy knock off products, go to importfan and cut the middleman out
if you want a real ings kit, or gp sports or vertex or chargespeed or whatever, plenty of the reputable dealers who post on here and actually drive silvias and respect our community will gladly help you out, myself included
and thats all i will ever say about raceon usa, because as far as i can tell, they dont really exist

how can we "cut the middleman out" when they're the only ones who offer the ings knockoff? if version:select made it i'd be glad to buy it from them but right now this is the only cheap place i can find to buy it.

they just slammed themselves wiht that pic replacement....
THey where showing that thier OWN product has permanent marker stains on it, even stating that in the picture!!! Then they gonna claim "Someone else claimed it was thier picture with teh marker"...
I mean if they used an original picture (original assuming it is thier products).. then there would be no fuss to flame on forums.... then no one would bitch and complain about using pics from other manufacturers, but fact is... All US bodykit manufacturers do this, with the exception of VIS i think since they use thier own pics and alot of sites actually jack thier pics... (at least i think). I guess thats the USA Way to make money right?? Build a fortune off the other man.. if we learned anything when growing up, is to be greedy (as in your taught to make money)... and your gonna try to make money any way you can.
One thing that I think about alot since i once wanted to open up my own shop.. is that there is wayyy too many shops now to compete wiht , I would be just like every other guy tryin to make money.. I want to be unique. WHen you flood the market, everything becomes valueless.. The Import scene is valueless... or at least cosmetic wise...

Ok, I took my raceon M-sport silvia fenders to the body shop yesterday, and he wanted $400 just to fit those F*CKERS on (by the way, this guy was helping me alot cause he is my friend)!! They have really shitty fitment. All the lines need to be redone and they are flimsy as hell. But, on the other hand, I do like the K's style silvia bumper, it is really thick and looks like it should fit on very nicely. But do not buy those fenders unless you are great at working with fiberglass. I don't see the point of spending $260 for the fenders and shipping, then spend another $400 to get them to look right. I should have just bit the bullet and bought real M-Sport fenders.

We are ordering a couple of kits from them so I will keep everyone posted on them. We just bought some Chargespeed front fenders, 30mm for our shops 98, and they fit like they were straight from the factory holes and everything already there.
