yeah, i think he has S14 though, but yeah, many guys have ran AIT
if you want pics of S14 kouki, check out bwalkers car:
http://www.calidrifting.com/
he also posted pics when he got his stickers done up, im not sure where those pics are floating around at though.
if it doesnt fit, make it fit. if you want perfect fitment you gotta pay up for jdm stuff, like DRFT, etc.

it fits like shit
no denying
incredibly bad from my expirience
a friend got it for his s14..fit like shit oto
sideskirt cracked by just closing the door
yeah i'd avoid it. i got a good deal on it too way back when but wasnt worth
get the real deal or something w/ a slightly (or far) better fitment
the VS fit next to perfect, as all knockoff aero needs some trimming, VS fit far better
VS=version select
my ORIGIN aero fit hella good, sides were hardest (as always) but the rear fit like a glvoe, front bumper needs trimming (because of USDM bumper suppport) but other then that matched up nearly perfect to my fenders
only the sides had SOME issues but easy to fit on the ORIGIN
doriftoslut has VERSION SELECT uras copy andit fit..yeah perfect.
sum up:
ait=sucks
VS=far superior
ORIGIN=near excellent
OEM=the best fitment

i just ordered b-magic front fenders for my zenki s14 from AIT. i havent gotten them yet, but i would not deal with them if i were you...they were supposed to drop ship them to my house but held onto the order for 11 DAYS (business days) without doing shit!!! I finally had to call them yesterday just so they would BOX IT UP and start the shipping process.
My car has the full widebody kit for the fastback, with silvia conversion.
Fitment on mine is amazing, with just one problem spot: the passenger side skirt behind the door pops out a little at the top. If you do the wide body front fenders, make sure you have the little metal supports to hold them steady. The kit has also taken the abuse of two drift days and a curb without breaking. I also have a b-magic wangan wing in carbon fiber, and am waiting on a c/f hood.

probably depends when your aero was produced off the mold i guess..naer the beginning or end before the mold is a POS and have to redo it
i guess could go either way
with my friends, 3 expiriences, fit like shit
bwalker he didn install it himself a body shop did
i dont know about impacted, you install it yourself or a shop did it for you?

AIT fit like arse, v:S fits perfectly, and Origin fits beyond perfect.
Here, I'll make it easy for you: www.versionselect.com, www.origin-lab.com.

I've heard from alotta ppl. that the AIT stuff sucks, but when I saw the AIT products on some car it looks alright, but than again it was all on cars that worked for AIT, so they probably spent alotta work making it look like it fits right, but I dunno I could be wrong. :gives:
All I know is AIT is a bad business company. I called to buy some stuff from them and since I lived in California they would not sell to me b/c of some competitor reason. They also said they would charge me 500$ to put on rear fenders..In America, customer service means everything and when they do something like that....word spreads and they get a bad rep. :mrmeph:

yeah, AIT/B Magic fits like shit. I've tried opening the door on bwalker's car and you can open it like half way before it binds on the fender and feels like it's going to crack the fender. And a very reputable body shop fit his kit. If they can't get it to fit right, I don't know who can. so yeah, fits like shit. with so many other options, it seems like a no-brainer to me.

AIT tried to pass off a fiberglass copy of a mustang spoiler off as a wangan wing 4 years ago when I was looking like crazy for one. My bro's friend knew one of the owners and got me the "hook-up". So yea that was them 4 years ago when they were still 'investigating' the 240sx kits, I hoped they would straighten themselves out but after reading the reviews of their kits I guess not :\

GTP did the exact same thing, but in c/f. But then again, GTP's stuff is downright horrible.

so what is it guys did i get mega lucky on the mold? i didn't even have to trim mine, 3-4 zipties on each skirt, 5 zipties on the front and 5-6 ties on the back, done. my friends v:s needed trimming though :| although i love how much stiffer his is compared to flimsy b*magic.

i have the AIT front, i got it a little over a year ago. the fitment was OK, it took alot of tweaking to get it good and you have to modify the bumper support to either push it back about 3 inches or take the support out all together, which i wouldnt reccomend. All you have to do is notch it and use some big washers and the support will work fine. I think it looks bitchin but as you can see from the pictures, fiberglass suck when your getting on a ferry when the tide is up.
