Has anyone had real first hand knowledge or experience with one of the sponsors, Raceon? I am likely to order the wide fenders for my S13, but should I save a few bucks and chance poor fitment with these, or go ahead with the Chargespeeds or Msports? From past experience, you do get what you pay for.... is that applicable in this instance as well? And, does anyone have a pic of an S13 coupe with an S14 K's wing :naughtyd:

try searching o.O that was on page 2 of new threads

meanwhile, when it comes to kits, spend 400 pay 1k to make it look right, spend 1k, youre good to go

for real, its on page 2. I wouldn't get it, I know this guy that put one of those gtp kits from importfan on his integra. It looked like crap. supposedly raceon gets their kits from importfan. I'm not sure though.

i've done a search for Raceon, there's apparently one other thread....and in it, there hasn't been any tangible evidence about their quality that's conclusive....there's just an abundance of conjecture, and references to the price vs. level of quality argument.... does anyone have REAL experience with Raceon?

what's "page 2"? anyone have a link to that? maybe i'm not using the proper search words....

Thanks

Page 2 is actually just the second page of new posts, nothing special or complicated. Also RaceOn is just a distributer for GTP/ImportFan and VIS. Do a search on either of those 2 companies and you are likely to find many complaints about poor fitment and quality. So far the only good I've heard is about VIS CF hoods, other then that expect to have to do alot of prep-work and re-shaping to get this kits to fit. :smash: :hammer:

I have personal experience with a GTP kit on my friends Civic Hatchback. Nothing lined up, NOTHING. The kit was eventually more fiberglass patchwork and bondo then original kit. It wasn't a big deal for us because we had plenty of materials on hand, but the amount of work it took to make it look halfway decent was ridiculous. The car has since been totalled, so unfortunately I don't have pics to prove it. I would personally suggest saving your money and buying the real deal, Chargespeed, INGS+1, Uras, GP Sports, Vertex, etc., etc.
