Aero/Fender fitment thread

[PoorMans180SX]

I'm looking to buy aero really soon, and can't seem to find any reviews besides ones from 2007/8/9. It'd be nice if there was a single thread about fitment out of the box. Please post your experiences with different aero and fender fitment. Obviously include what brand and when you bought it.

[fliprayzin240sx]

From what I've seen, most US made kits are garbage. Too wavy, fitment is hit or miss. Out of the box, minimal amount of work, Version Selects are better. I just picked up a set of Origin Aggressive and fitment was almost perfect. Minor trimming, heat gun to stretch the skirt some since its cold as crap when I installed it. Beauty is, didnt have to block it to smooth it out, panels came in smooth.

I agree with flip, my sexy style aero from shine fit damn near perfect. Along with my origin wide body. Fit perfect!

[LateNights...]

Genuine BN Sports fits amazing. Each piece of the kit fit like oem parts, and the quality, (which I think is just as important) was top notch. The front bumper did require some block work to smooth out some rough sanding marks. The kit held up to daily driving/scraping at super low height for years.

Recently purchased the VIS replica 180sx type X front bumper. I'm not confident in the quality, but the fitment surprised me. Just some moderate dremel work where it meets with the fender, and it bolted up nice, fits like original parts.

[randyjordan]

Vertex fitment should be on point

My origin agressive on my hatch required very minimal work

Fatboy fits like shit

[PoorMans180SX]

Anyone have experience with Extreme Dimensions? Specifically their fenders?

[guntop116]

I'm interested in this as well. Read on a couple of other forums that the Duraflex is not nearly as flexible as advertised.

Not there fenders but had there bumper and skirts

Front bumper was ver 1 and it was shit. Fitment was totally off and quality was really bad.

Skirts were ver 2 and the quality was pretty good and fitment was alright but it did need work to fit.

For fenders i went with chargespeed and the quality is awesome and the fitment was spot on. Took a lot of abuse and still in 1 piece.

[OutlawLui]

I might pick up a Extreme Dimensions s13 kit duraflex soon


I live near, so i would get a zilvia member discount plus no shipping required...

Sounds like a good deal, but i'm still worried about being disappointed with fitment ...

Frsport is also close to me, so i might pick up a Origin kit...


Either way, I'll post a review on what i go with.

[SlideOrDie831]

vertex and bn are on point when comes to fitment.

damx,origin,version select,and chaser pretty much need a little trimming.

[TeamFRAT]

B- magic aero fenders fit really nice to my surprise. They were installed on my friends Zenki.

[shanelach]

Shine kits fit great. No trimming on the GP kit necessary at all.

[iamtheyi]

VIS and Extreme Dimensions so far have garbage fitment. I'm speaking on their sideskirts, rear bumper, and front bumpers. Never tried their fenders.

My previous origin Aggressive kit needed a little heat gun work to mold side skirts and stuff but other than that, fit great.

[slickdrifter]

authentic uras is very high quality, this flexible fiberglass. and with outlines for drill holes and fitment is perfect

[mrslowevoix]

I have the vis front fenders they fit nice. Not much work. Got duraflex kit, and I have 2 different front bumpers that both fit good with no work and hold up nice. The rear fit awesome. The skirts fit good. It just needed a little work (hour or so)..... Cars to low to spend a lot of cash on a kit.

[gallo]

my experience
Extreme dimensions kit fit horrible and hard to make fit, i decided to take a loss and sell it for gas money. shine auto fits great but in my opinion could be a little stronger its a bit thin and flimsy but fitment is amazing . Vis supermade skirts and front bumper i got fit good and seem strong but flexible enough to fit. . im definitely gonna try origin or that jordan innovations
- i had a type x replica i bought from crimson rocket and that fit very decent also.
. 9k wings fit awesome too

I was wondering if anyone else has tried origin overfenders

A buddy of mines bought 50mm for rears and they fit like 25-30ish

[Punished]

I have extreme dimensions duraflex uras type 2 and rear over fenders.

Over fenders fit quite well
Front bumper needed some trimming where it wraps around the fender for mounting. The gap between the fender and hood on the front is larger than stock, but I dont feel like fixing that part.
Side skirts fit fine once I hit them with a heat gun
Rear bumper needed trimming where it wraps around the fender for mounting

Overall, to mount the whole kit, no more than 20 minutes of adjustments to fit it all.

[collegekid]

This thread makes me happy because it exists, should be very helpful.


So, Last year i decided to change my front end after a crash that destroyed my bumper and dented my hood.

I bought Extreme Dimensions fenders from Andy's auto sport (didnt even know the reputation of that site at the time). They pretty much ordered from Extreme dimensions Conversion fenders (part number is 101 643 iirc). Bought them around July or August, mainly because Origin had a wait time of a few months and I didn't want to leave it in the shop forever. I'll let the pics do the talking

http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m575/apishmar/temporary_zpsa3b07306.jpg

This is mounted up by a shop who has dealt with fiberglass before. I personally trust these guys and I doubt any incorrect installation.

I am at fault for not contacting extreme dimensions until this year, I just read their policy on the paper and saw that they dont accept returns for installed parts. When I contacted them later though, they were somewhat helpful so there is that. I will edit this post once I finally find time to add more fiberglass to these fenders.




So later, one of the guys from the shop that installed those fenders told me he was buying origin stuff and asked if I wanted origin fenders; we could order together and save on shipping. I was worried about the fitment but he assured me quality.

This is just thrown on, not mounted in any way. The fitment is spot on, it requires some trimming around the door but I actually would rather have excess than be short. It looks off, But I couldn't hold it at the right angle and take a picture correctly. I would definitely recommend Origin

The guy who I bought my stuff with has over fenders for his coupe. Next time I see him, I'll check if he has them installed or not and get a picture for ya

[collegekid]

^Which is what? You haven't posted a single picture of any brand/part/company. What are you talking about?

Edit- Read his posts, Coragarcia9 is a spammer. What a troll haha

[PoorMans180SX]

So when I started this thread, I had this kit and fenders on order from Extreme Dimensions. I was told that they would fit with "maybe some minor modifications" out of the box.

Basically this is going to need major trimming and block sanding to even mock up on the car, needless to say, I'm a little disappointed.

[OutlawLui]

good info on this thread

[fliprayzin240sx]

Honestly, I wouldnt hold my breath on it. The whole "professional installation" in their fine print is whats gonna get them out doing anything for you. They'll blow you off since, well thats what extreme dimension has been doing for over 15 yrs.

Only US made kit I've ever considered running are AIT bodykits and I would have only ordered it from Jspec Sam. Reason being, I know how anal Sam can be with stuff he sells. If its not good enough for him, he wouldnt sell it.

[Laotian240]

If i saw this earlier I wouldn't mentioned that extreme demensions fitment sucks, and its neither flexible of durable. fitment is shotty. the edge trimming looks like it was done by a kindergartener. It needs alot of fiberglass work.

But man that overfender is just terrible. I only have 4 years in the composite industry and probably replicate a better piece.

[JonathanPrem]

I was wondering if anyone else has tried origin overfenders

A buddy of mines bought 50mm for rears and they fit like 25-30ish

They sell 30mm and 50mm. They probably sent him 30mm instead of 50mm.

[wkpainter]

Do not. For any reason EVER. Buy ANYTHING from Extreme Dimensions. I bought their "aero couture" line of side skirts. It is advertised as "oem fitment". I have spent hours trying to trim the product to fit. It still does not. The body shop i work for repaired an Acura TL with customer supplied parts. He supplied us with an Extreme Dimensions front bumper. It was a joke!

[roboticnissan]

Anyone have experience with Extreme Dimensions? Specifically their fenders?

I just bought msport fenders for my car. Will be installing them tomorrow. They look much better quality than i can thought. Also my type u(uras rep) looks well built. Not sure on fitment at this time.


If anyone is interested in extreme dimensions i just setup my whole saleaccnt with em. Pm me links for the parts and ill respond with prices.

[roboticnissan]

Shine kits fit great. No trimming on the GP kit necessary at all.

Whens the last time you bought from shine? My friend was their composite worker, he was good. He quit and now they suck imo. Terrible fitment and really weak strength.

[archonftw]

anyone have experience with duraflex d1 style front over fenders? I have a pair and I will be installing them soon but when I put them on the car to mock up it looked like it would be fitting like shit. for s13

duraflex is an Extreme Dimensions product whos quality has been reviewed many times in this thread.

[KAs14slider]

I don't care about how duraflex fits, I just want to find a cheap front bumper for my s14 that can take a beating. Like the s13 bumper in the pic above. Does anyone have experience with the duraflex. It might fit like shit, but does it stand up to abuse? I have gone through a couple real origin fronts and a few knockoffs, I just keep destroying them from daily driving and my bumper being super low. I even tried reinforcing them and it doesn't matter.

There is no cheap bumper that will do this. Duraflex cracked when I hit a cone mid drift and was sucked under the bumper. Friend also had the exact same experience. They are brittle. P.o.s.

[huffandpuff00]

i used to run an ED blister kit and it fit really well and was higher quality than i expected. i think it depends on the kits. newer designs have beter fitment while old designs ie. vertex have bad fitment

[naw_speed]

so the s13 is mine and the s14 is my buddy's. he had originally purchased a set of origin fenders to fix a damaged s14 front end. now they were painted and installed by a paint/body shop but, the shop had nothing but great things to say about the fitment of the fenders. very little modification... now i was so impressed wit the fitment on his car that i decided to purchased a set of s13 fenders for my silvia conversion. straight out the box the fitment was great. i'm not a body guy so bondo, filling, and sanding is something that is new to me "and i'm am going to say the little i had to do i didn't like". but all of the install/paint was done i my garage. i am very happy wit the lines and the end result. i will be buying more Origin products. if you have any question PM me. and i have alot more pic so if there is a certain angle you are lookin for let me know.

This is awesome. This is something none of my friends understand, that there are quality kits out there that are actually flexible. It's good to finally see some real life examples.

[208s14.5]

I ordered the vertex kit from ED, upon receiving the kit it looked really good. Went to fit the kit and was instantly dissatisfied with the fitment, I've only mounted one side of the skirts and the front bumper. Im having to cut out a big piece of the grill in order to fit it to do the bumper support. Will be mounting everything tomorrow and will edit my post with pictures. The previous owner also used there fenders for the conversion and the fitment was horrendous.

[240Cali]

Jordan Innovation makes BN fenders that fit SPOT ON

[vq35SMASH]

justin, im still gonna steal those. but i need tp pick up a set of the origin fenders. my metal ones are trashed but i keep seeing bad reviews for origin. any other recomendations that are in the origin price range??

[ManoNegra]

Picked up a Shine Auto lip for my s14.
Impressions: well made, flexible and thin
Did a quick fit check when I dropped it off at paint and it appeared to line up well and not required additional massaging.

[di-devol]

I have an Origin Aggressive kit for s13. Rear bumper fitment for the coupe was AWFUL. Stamp on parts shows Mould #1, maybe it's geting outta wack. Skirts and front bumper fit great.

[Dauzat's 40]

I have Extreme Dimensions: front and rear overfenders(30mm), The quality was okay, did need some work but nothing too extreme. So i then ordered the Type U duraflex kit for my s14, front bumper fit pretty good, back bumper needed trimming where it wraps around the quarter pannel and the exhaust cut out was horrible, it definetely wasn't designed for a nice angled upsweep exhaust to go through because the HKS hi-power doesn't line up in the cut out, had to cut a good 2-3 inches out of it to make exhaust clear. The sideskirts did actually fit really well, but they were a horrible replica of the actual Uras type 4 skirt. They don't flare out as much and don't hang as low. After countless emails to them about the sideskirt being wrong and not matching, they eventually just blew me off by saying that they didn't see anything wrong with what i had. CAUTION!!! IF PARTS ARE WRONG THEY WILL USE THE OLD, I CAN'T TELL FROM THE PICTURES BECAUSE WHEEL OFFSET, HEIGHT AND PAINT WILL MAKE IT HARD TO SEE THAT THE PARTS ARE COMPLETELY WRONG. Sorry for the long post, but from an unhappy customer DON'T BUY FROM EXTREME DIMENSION. Oh and duraflex is a joke it will crack and bust just as easily as normal fiberglass.

[trxrx7]

i have had different bumpers from different companies in both fiberglass(duraflex same crap mixed with other crap, only a little stronger NOT a big difference) and urethane(on different cars). if you want your aero to fit better and flex like the one from the red hatch (which is very sexy btw) you have to buy a urethane product they really are pretty much indestructible and the reason of them fitting better is because the are trimmed by a machine. fiberglass aero is handmade and fitment will depend on the worker if he gives a crap about his job that day (starts with cleaning the mold properly, removing all the air bubbles when rolling on the fibers and trimming the right amount on the edges after taking it out of the mold) thats why there are some guys that say their extreme dimensions aero fits good and some say its......well you saw the pics, and that goes for other companies too!!! the bad part is not every bumper is available in urethane and they are expensive. i still buy fiberglass bumpers, cause my car is not a show car and im gonna beat them anyway while drifting, but i dont buy them from websites only if i find some for cheap locally, i would rather spend a little more money when buying a brand new bumper and know for sure that it is properly made and can take a few love tap's! but thats just how i see it.

can't really comment on fenders cause i dont have any, but im planning on getting some soon and im not expecting a direct bolt on cause i know the will need some work!

[PoorMans180SX]

Just FYI, I sent all those pictures in to ED along with a body shop quote, and through a somewhat drawn out process, they gave me $200 back.

Needless to say I'll be buying new aero from someone else. My buddy is going to make this kit work on his car.


Hey Extreme Dimensions, if you read this, here's my two cents. Make your molds better, make your parts fit decent, and people will buy from you. It's as simple as that. Nobody likes doing an excessive amount of bodywork, especially for the fragile "duraflex" that your parts are made out of. I hope you can turn your business around.

[Matej]

Out of the three companies I have purchased aero from in the past; Version Select, Chaser, AIT; the AIT parts were the nicest and fit the best. They make their aero out of that green fiberglass stuff, or at least they did back then.

Thanks for the info, too bad they don't have more of a selection!

Anyone have experience with VIS S13 stuff? One guy said their Kouki 180SX bumper fit well, any others? I'm still up in the air about what aero I want.

[wh0aitznic0]

Currently, I have AIT. Fits alright just being mounted with zip ties. In the past, I've had Chaser duraflex and they fit AWFUL especially the front. Satisfied with the sides and rear, though so I'm gonna go OEM Kouki front.

[Matej]

Anyone have experience with VIS S13 stuff?
VIS is actually what I am going with next. Not sure how soon though.

[fliprayzin240sx]

I liked my Version Select V2 and the few folks I knew who went with AIT were happy with them fitment wise. Both needed some blocking and trimming but atleast they were not short or bowed like ass.

[EdwardHZ]

I've had AIT and now have some of chaser aero's stuff. The AIT stuff fit decently with zip ties. It didn't take too much to make it fit. Chaser's front bumper isn't horrible, but my rear overs were god awful. It took forever and a day to try and get the stuff to fit decently.

[towlie]

I've been shopping around and it seems like most of vis/Ed new designs fit pretty well. That's probably what I'll end up going with. 30mm vis rear overs and Ed kit of some sort

[josh_schul]

Man wish this was around before i went aero shopping... looks like i may have lucked out.

But... I have a full Vis Works9 Replica Kit, Dmax roof spoiler and a replica GP Sports spoiler on there way by the end of the month so hopefully i can get some fitment info on all that.

[chrisjakcj]

i have ED sideskirts and fitment sucks ass ill have to put in work, also have bmagic vented fenders they are really thin ill see how it goes

[bllabong89]

I have an Origin kit and my fitment was pretty iffy on the sides and rear. I ended up buying used Greddy Gracer sides and doing a lot of work on the rear. Check my build thread if you would like pics because it is very in depth. I have DMax rear overs and they are great.

Good luck to you, every single replica I've seen look wavy as fuck. Only way I would have bought a kit from Chaser Aero would have been me driving to MD and picking it up and test fitting that shit at their parking lot.

[ZenkiKid]

A bunch of my buddies had Dmax Aero, that stuff fit like OEM it was amazing.

My Dmax 50mm coupe overs fit awesome.

I didnt order it through Chaser... after reading about their service i ordered it from VIS directly. However, as for wavey panels one of the auto body techs at work is helping me fix/prep the aero and fit it as well so... Im sure that we can get it to look decent. Im trying to have faith in Vis here but i know what i paid for it and dont expect perfection.

That seems to be the issue with most US company. The kit will be good depending on who was the tech the day the kit got made and whether or not he's on a good mood or bad mood. :keke:

[Psychomoongoose]

Anyone have any experience with Chargespeed? I think Im leaning that way for some front and rear fenders for my S13 hatch... They seem to be high quality, but Ive never really seen any in person.

I'm running front Chargespeed on mine. Best fitting aero I have ever seen other than OEM... and if I'm happy with it then you know it has to be pretty damn good because I'm anal as hell. 95% of people don't even realize I have aftermarket fenders.

Test fitment before paint:

what (if anything) is everyone doing to stop front fenders from breaking while drifting ? (with agressive fitment)
picked up some fresh ones, and i dont want to install them until i at least have some sort of plan- that does not involve raising the car.

Nothing for the most part, the tires will slowly grind the fender away where it touches vs catching and pulling in metal fenders. But eventually, it will crack once the fender gets too thin.

[Jersthecool]

Wow I had no idea you were running aftermarket fenders either looks great! I was thinking either I never noticed the vents or those were recent but then bam fill them in they look 100% oem

[vq35SMASH]

i recently purchased b magic front fenders, silvia s13, 30mm wide with single vent. from drivin by style LLC, the fitment was pretty close and it bolted up decent. needs some trimming a little more by the passenger corner light and needed a little on the passenger door. overall i was satisfies and ill be getting the b magic bumper probably cuz i broke my origin one =[ my origin kit fits perfectly btw! . ill post pics later

[az_240]

Anyone have experience with the S14 Nismo 270R rep rear bumpers?.... since the real thing is near impossible to find. I had one a few years ago but the fitment was so bad I had to sell it for dirt cheap. Would like to purchase from someone with some quality control... any recommendations?

I can add that the Forcewerkz JDM kouki front lip fits pretty damn good for the price and loved the fitment on my old version select 1 kit.

[rawgarage]

selling my stock 240 kouki front end And want to go over fenders front and read and dmax style vented hood..(I think the vis frp one)

I have decided on REAR origin type 2 50mm (based on great fitment and look)

Can anyone recommend a good 30mm front over fender with the middle brace in the vent?

All I see is 20mm and 25mm (with the big vent W/no middle brace)

Anybody got experience / tips on bowing 50mm overfenders to 80mm?

You've just got to trim, trim, trim with a dremel. This is why VIS pricing varies so much. Those super old molds for the BN and M-sports reps are crappy, while their latest stuff like the kouki 180sx is much better.

[ComicArtist]

You really get what you pay for with replica aero.

If you plan on spending $300 on aero, you better also plan on spending a few hours working it to make it fit.

Not saying Duraflex/Extreme Dimensions/VIS etc. are bad, in my opinion it's perfect for a drift car that's going to get beat to shit anyway, but don't go into it thinking everything's going to line up perfectly and look like the real thing.

[dorkidori_s13]

funny thing is, my replica aero fits perfectly.

must have to do with the fact that most of these companies dont give 2 shits and mass produce parts without keeping track of QC...just saying

ive got 2 new pieces coming out in November, 180sx Chuki Style Sideskirts and S13 Silvia Aero Valances. Come January, I will have a new part out that will blow your minds and fit exactly like OEM! Its a part that people have been asking about for a long time!

Jordan Innovations got Dmax 3 reps from a REAL dmax 3 mold some dude was making molds from.. I actually picked up a kit and no it was not $300 it was almost 3 times that. Fits amazing couldn't be happier

[c0nc0n]

Looking for 180SX front guards that do not have a vent in them. I swear Vertex made one but can't seem to find it.

[theericsmith]

so uh.. forcewerkz yay or nay?

[crzsteveo]

^id say yay. cheap and minor trimming.

I have AIT origin aggressive sides reps and they need some trimming and heat treatment to have them fit around the fenders and quarters.

but once heat treated and trimmed they fit pretty good.

Another Extreme Dimensions fail^.

I'll be purchasing an AIT kit next week and I'll post a full review in here. From what I can tell they fit pretty well, with only the sides needing any trimming.

[Reece]

I just bought the AIT Origin Stylish rep kit. I've been second guessing it but after going through this thread I think it will be alright. I'll post pictures and a writeup once I get it all installed.

[living4surf]

Seen a few ait kits and like you said bumpers are pretty good. side skirts need some pretty good trimming around the doors

[WindyCity]

"VIS racing" has the best customer service ive ever had with aero companies. very helpful people (especially Fred) if your stuff is damaged, fits poorly, or isnt correct. they have no problem dealing with you and sending you a better product

as for the product, my bn sports side skirts were a centimeter too short and pull the fenders up front, towards the doorlines a little. the rear bumper hugs the sides really tight and cracked installing it before paint. front bumper sticks out from the corners of my fenders. all in all id rate it a 7/10 experience. for the money, its pretty damn good.

I have the AIT Origin Stylish rep kit. I haven't gotten it all on yet, but I put the front bumper on last night and it fits incredibly well. No trimming.

I kinda set one of the skirts in place and I think I will need to trim around the door area a bit. But it's not bad at all.

I ordered AIT s13.4 conversion fenders, VIS Racing V speed S14 front bumper and VIS Racing B speed sides and rear for my S13 coupe. I'll post up a review and picks of the fitment after they're installed. Hoping for good fitment on all of it.

[troskinatior]

Anybody have fitment reviews of dmax style fiberglass hoods? Ive been looking at VIS and duraflex but the fitment has me second guessing. Or should I just get a vent and mold it into the oem hood?

[inuyasha3466]

Most of the time molding stuff on the hood just cracks so I wouldn't suggest molding it in.

I just wanted to chime in after reading this. I have authentic origin type 2 fenders and overfeders and I may just be too anal, but I found that I had to trim every piece to get it right. Its not really far off but definatly not perfect.

[e30gangsta]

So after calling the entire western hemisphere I can’t find any origin or version select in stock anywhere. I have been able to find vis and ait kits in stock though. Both of them vertex s13 sil reps, the question is which one is better quality and will be less of a headache?

Ait or Vis

Discuss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[PoorMans180SX]

I had an AIT vertex rep kit for pop-ups. The front bumper fit quite well, but the sideskirts were way too thick and needed trimming AND a heat gun. The rear bumper was also goofy and fit really "stretched" regardless of trimming/heat. The gaps were good though. I can't speak for VIS.

I only ever purchased one "kit" from forceworkz when they offered the navan kit as a package deal and that entire kit fit beautifully.
front bumper lined up absolutely perfect with no gaps or sag.
side skirts fit so well i went to test fit and they stayed on without zipties or bolts or stretching.
valances slid right in.

Origin GT wing with tall mounts that I modified for quarter panel mounting.

[Maiku240sxS14]

Installed S14 Zenki D-max D1 spec front fenders. Fitment is pretty decent, aligns with the bonnet (D-max vented bonnet) well. Only problem is that the bracket to mount the headlights are off, if mounted headlights are pushed in too far in the bonnet. Will need to make your own bracket to hold the headlights near the fenders.

Also got Origin Labo rear overs and loosely installed, but fitment looks good. Trimming the upper fender where it meets the quarter window trim, rear window trim and trunk area. But overall looks good. Won't install completely till wheel alignment is done.

First timer with aftermarket fenders, but overall happy with them.

+1 for dorki dori aero. I have his version 1 sides and coupe rear valances, they both fit great the only thing that needed to be done is drilling some holes. I would definitely recommend his products.

[Z_Spool]

Wait, you have to drill your own holes?!? What cheap crap!

;)

Joking aside, Dorki's stuff looks great and I'm looking forward to picking some bits up for mine. The parts look pretty hefty, but how resilient/durable are they? I know glass will never hold up the way poly does, but with as thick as the parts appear to be, it seems like I'd be likely to file through them before breaking them. Just looking for insight from people with real world experience I guess.

Just looking for insight from people with real world experience I guess.

thick parts arent always a good idea... they tend to shatter much easier because theres no bend to absorb the impact.

properly made FRP parts are just as durable and resistant to breaking as ABS plastic and polyurethane (its not uncommon to find FRP used on Ferraris and Lamborghinis). most of my parts are produced with 2 ounce fiberglass weave, its thin enough to have a good amount of flex, but thick enough to hold up to impacts really well.

also one thing about having thinner parts that really helps, they will adapt to the shape of the car MUCH better over time! seeing as all of my parts are replications of ABS plastic and FRP pieces, the shape of the original part is still held in the piece slightly even after shaping, jigging and molding is completed. once an ABS plastic, polyurethane or FRP part is mounted to a car, even just after 6 months of direct sunlight beating on the piece, the part WILL start to retain the shape of where and how its mounted... now imagine this occuring over the course of 10-20 years ;)

but yeah, thinner parts are actually better for impact than thicker parts seem to be, like i said earlier, simply because of what happens when they are impacted by something. super thick parts will want to just flat out shatter where thinner parts will bend and deflect the impact.

I went through 14 pages to finally find a review for fineline's aero 😂😂

[TheRealSy90]

Duraflex BN Type II fits like dog shit, but idk what I expected. Good enough for a drift car I guess. The corners in each bumper that go up under the fender aren't high enough, and if you try to mount the bumpe up high enough to close the gap, the parts over the fenders are in the wrong spot and the top between the head lights sticks up higher than the hood lol. So it has to be mounted with about a one inch gap between the top of the bumper and the fenders. Sideskirts actually weren't too bad after bending the rocker panel down some so there was room under the door.

[azndan2]

Not trying to blow this thread up with pics of my car , just wanted to post a few pics to give people an idea of fitment in case they want to purchase the same kit

[punxva]

What did you do to the gas filler cover? :) I have the same fenders..


I trimmed it down and glassed it to the stock metal gas door. It still functions although with my fuel cell i dont use it any more.

[sil14zenki]

Wise Square front fenders.
Fitment is spot on, no trimming or drilling and quality is top notch.
Can't wait to paint them

Could someone enlighten me as to why no one makes silvia fenders that are not wide, and dont have the air vent behind the front wheel?

Because some one does

Not quite, those are mega vented...

As far as a good option though, Broadfield used Chargespeed fenders on his coupe and glassed over the vent. They are hardly wider by any noticeable amount, plus S13's could use the room. I just got a set and they are very nice OEM like fitment and super high quality, but they have a vent.

[b145279]

still wondering if anyone with forcewerkz navan sides and valences will chime in. Besides the guy in this thread

I am installing their s14 Navan Repro skirts and rear valances currently and although the rears seem to be a perfect fit, the main issue with the skirt is that it is too tight and does not fit the car properly. It is fiberglass so you cant reshape or stretch it. I am sure this is just the "one in a million" that snuck past quality control and am waiting for a reply from them to perhaps exchange for a new set. I will keep you updated.

[Almighty So]

Probably just as much help with this because my s14 is gone now, but I had no issues with fitment for my navan kit from forcewerkz. was packaged nice, fit nice, shipped fast. Would purchase from them again.

My bad...totally skipped over asking for them not being wide. But I do like the vent in the back instead of right behind it.

Why buy aero parts for $1000 just to remake and refit them? Seems like in the aero side of car parts, company's don't have to put in the effort because customers are ok having crap parts and having to retrim the fenders or Bodykit. A real company should have 9.5/10 fitment 99/100 times. I wonder what makes these company's or makes the customer pay for something they must redo. It is part of the customers fault to be ok to spend $750 for a Bodykit they must redo. I guess the company's Are just taking advantage of the unaware consumer.

Clearly you are from Florida.

Fiberglas is a garbage product and no matter how exact the molds are it is hard to make it fit perfect because of materials variability.

Your spoiled by modern prices. $750 back in the day wouldn't have bought a bumper, let alone a whole kit.

Rule of thumb has always been, save on the kit, pay extra on the body work.

[Corbic]

I'll drop this in here. Maybe people don't know about gluing fenders.

[jsu1012]

Authentic vertex aero, fitment was perfect. didnt need to trim anything. The quick releases on the front bumper are to take it off to get out of my driveway, not because it didnt fit well.

Don't bring that Florida stuff up that has nothing to do with why people are willing to pay a lot for crap products for a expense price. I'm saving for all origin products which fit very well and usually need little to no work. I rather spend money on quality products then give a company money for half ass doing something. I understand Fiberglass molds are difficult to have an oem fitment. But in 2015 I would think something would be possible. And company's have proven that there molds have been great for replica oem fitment. Or so I believe.

[dorkidori_s13]

Type-X lip was $600 new back in the day.

people bitch about my OEM aero bumper replicas and how im raping folks with my prices... funny thing is simple math prooves otherwise...

OEM S13 Silvia Aero Bumper in 1994 - $610 (72,500 yen)
OEM S13 Silvia Aero Bumper if still sold in 2015 by Nissan adjusted for inflation - $966.13 (114,897 yen)

those prices do not include shipping either... shipping on bumpers NOW is roughly $200-$250 in the US depending on where theyre going. so lets do a simple comparison here to what i offer vs whats available now as well...

OEM USED S13 Silvia Aero Bumper w/vents thats 20+ years old in decent shape - $1100 to $1400 shipped
DorkiDori OEM S13 Aero Bumper w/vents - $650 shipped in 48 states

well, i guess im still raping people for a part that not only fits remarkably well, its polyurethane, made in the US (right here in Vegas), comes with vents that are superior to the OEM units given mine are brand new plastic... oh and i offer install help as well!

but yeah, corbic i totally agree with you (for once lol)... kids these days, not all of them by any means as i know quite a few of them who still know how to buy quality parts, but more of less just the ones who refuse to manage their money to pay for good aero and then bitch when their $400 kit doesnt fit like a $2000 kit. :kiss:

origin is decent quality, theyre a middle tier brand that actually does QC their stuff pretty well... but fitting is still required on their kits.

Not worth the effort trying to explain, the kid sold full type x aero(except lip) so he can have shitty fitting aero and be a "hoonigan".

[b145279]

I think the point the dude was originally making was that there are many kits by many vendors that fit horribly, and are quite pricey for the quality of product received. If you sell a " quality" repro, then it should fit like the original. If you sell a "crappy, mostly completed, almost like the original and you need to finish it yourself" part, then it should be marketed as such, but vendors frequently misrepresent their all their products as "quality" and the customer is just expected to suck it up.

hmmmmm, you do have a decent point... but one point that is not being brought up either, S13s are 21+ years old and S14s are 17+ years old at their youngest. most folks dont take into consideration how mistreated, abused and out of shape 240s are anymore. OEM aero doesnt even fit most of them properly without sanding and heatgun/torch work... that and people expect damn near everything to fit perfectly. fitment work (especially on S13s) is usually required in some way or another for damn near stock fitment. its just a shame that there are so many brands and vendors out there who create parts that require SO much work to fit. a light sanding isnt anything that should be complained about... major fitment work like removing 1/4" of material all around fender areas is just embarrassing.

a little elbow grease is always expected when trying to obtain perfect fitment, especially with FRP parts (FRP molds and injection molds like ABS and Polyurethane are 2 vastly different things). but major modification to make a claimed "great fitting part" fit properly if the company is worth its reputation is just embarassing.

Agreeing with Dorki :tweak:
A lot of the same kids who are stunned that their varrstoens cracked through. You'd figure the same argument would make more sense when you can physically see the poor quality before you install and/or drive over a pothole like a douche.

Guess not.

Also, am I inb4 "but bro why would i buy an expensive kit for mad skids?!?!" ?

So you are saying that poor quality "anything" breaks when you go over potholes? And great quality "anything" doesnt break when you go over potholes? DATA PLEASE!!! no generalizations.

I feel like a lot of these opinions are just that, opinons. What one guy thinks fits like dog shit, another guy might think it's not that bad.

I have the vis racing b-speed kit (bn rep) for my s13. So far I know the rear bumper is gonna need some work, the sides flare out pretty bad, hoping I'll be able to heat them up and bend them back in. The side skirts seem too short and the ends of them look like they bend in. Again, hoping some heat will help me get them to fit decent. I have no clue how good the front will fit because I haven't gotten my fenders yet so I can't really test fit it.

I just ordered "gtp f kon-x" 20mm front and 30mm rear overfenders from chaser aero. I'm assuming they won't fit very good, I'm not entirely worried about it as long as I can get them to fit pretty decently.

Overall, I do agree it would be nice for frp kits to come fitting perfectly, but it's not likely. If I was building a show car I would have went with more expensive stuff but I'm not.

[zbarsuglia]

Bought both front and rear origin type 3 over fenders. +45 in front and +55 in rear. Both fit like shit.

Cliff notes

Body shop told me they will not bolt on without cracking.

I contacted enjuku and sent them pictures

Enjuku contacted origin and origin said to use a heat lamp and force it to bolt up.

I asked what happens if they break after doing what origin said.

Enjuku said we will cross that bridge if it comes.

Went through bank and am in the process of getting a refund so I can buy authentic bn fronts and chargespeed rears. Because we all know that if they break they will use the, "you already installed them. Sorry you're shit out of luck, sport/champ/buddy/boss." Card

Multiple people have said that these new origin type 3 fenders suck

[1on1]

has anyone purchased ED chargespeed 50mm reps for an s14? If so, do you have any photos and how's fitment?

They're a junk company. While you may get lucky and get a decent fitting one, you'll still be giving your business to a company that doesn't give a shit about you once you've bought their parts. Their refund policy is a joke, and their Vertex replica everything fits like garbage, as do their front fenders. Absolutely nothing lines up even close. You get what you pay for.

[TheRealSy90]

I have an ED/Duraflex BN Type II kit, the front bumper fitment is garbage. Literally nothing lines up at all, there's gaps everywhere in weird spots. At the hood line between the popups it/s lower on one side, and sticks up higher almost an inch when you get to the other end. The skirts fit fine actually, haven't gotten to the rear bumper yet :/

[KAT-PWR]

Another checking in for ed
S15 conversion fenders
S15 spec r rep bumper
S15 hood
All of it needs a ton of work to fit mediocre.
Trash products in every sense of the word. I would have rather spent the money i spent on their fenders covered my stock fenders in spray foam, shaped it, glassed it, made a mold, made my own fender....
Because if i messed up the money would've been wasted in the same fashion.

All of it needs a ton of work to fit mediocre.
Trash products in every sense of the word. I would have rather spent the money i spent on their fenders covered my stock fenders in spray foam, shaped it, glassed it, made a mold, made my own fender....
Because if i messed up the money would've been wasted in the same fashion.


Thanks for the input guys.

I'm glad to hear that Origin still kits well... I've dealt with DMAX in the past, and their kits fit well. Their hoods seemed to be hit and miss. And speaking of hoods, anyone here order a Origin hood as of late? If so where you happy with the purchase?

[1Day]

My Origin hood fits great.

Sooooooo how does it fit? Trimming required? Were the panels warped much?

Agree 1000% with your dmax kit statement. I've dealt with so many bullshit aero companies from chaser to duraflex and I finally was fed up and just bought dmax. No trimming, no heating up to flex it to fit my car. I literally had it all mocked up and mounted within 20 mins.

[Davizz]

I must say, Vertex really doesn't dissapoint me.
The fitment on the front is amazing, everything connects really really well on eachother.
Skirts and rear bumper fits really well to, only thing they could have done a bit better is the rear fender fitment.
The upper part of the fender (which lays on top of the original fender) the part between the trunklid and the rearlights, coulda have a little bit of a better fitment.
But hey, you wont hear me complaining about it, if i hear that A-brands like Rocket Bunny have a shit fitment.
With Vertex you get a 95% quallity worth your money fitment.

I can't speak to how their actual kits fit, but my DMAX fenders fit like ass. Line the fenders up to the hood and then the door gap is too small. Line the fenders up to the door and the trailing edge of the fender hits the A-pillar. Line the A-pillar up and nothing else matches. Get everything 90% and the back of the fender doesn't bow out enough so every time I try to open the door it grabs the fender. Right now I have a block of wood between the actual car and the fender pushing it out enough so I can open the door.

[JustCallMeTakumi]

I have had the Bn rep front bumper from Vis for a while now. Fitment was good, but not great. It's a little wider on one side where it lines up with the fender, but also I have oem fenders and one side got in a crash. I pulled and hammered the fender back to stock and it actually looks like it wasn't in a crash besides for one dent above the wheel but I believe that is why it looks to be wider in that area. Where it wraps around the fenders is good on both sides. I haven't trimmed it at all or heated it up, but if I did around that area I believe that it would be perfect fitment.

I also had an AIT uras rep rear bumper that was terrible and I would have snapped the bumper if I even tried to make it fit around the quarter panels. It would have required a ton of work to look half ass so I sold it. I don't think the person that bought it ever even took the time to try making it work.

Right now I have another uras rep bumper or could be a origin aggressive, but I'm not sure who makes it. I was told it was vis, but vis comes with black gel like duraflex and this one is white. Might even be authentic, I'm not really sure, but it fits 95% perfect with no cutting or heat and is brand new. I am selling it because I was told it was a bn and bought it at night so I was disappointed to find out it was another uras so I'm selling it, but I was very pleased with the quality. It is super stiff though so I think I would crack it VERY quickly without some heat treatment to loosen it up.

My sideskirts are also unknown and were white gel originally, they are bn rep and are super thin and flimsy, but very flexible because of it and the fitment is ok. They crack very easily but needed no heat or trimming at all to make fit good.

Currently in the market for a bn rep rear bumper for a hatch and have been reading this thread for a year or so. I don't want to spend much because it is only temporary and to match the rest of my kit so I was looking at vis which I have had a decent experience with or duraflex which I only hear bad things about, but my friend's bumper from them fits pretty damn good. I will be buying the real bn kit in the upcoming year, but I need a bumper to throw on to match for now and was wondering if there are any recent experiences with Vis and ED from their Bn mold???

[xataustin]

Old thread bumparino - Has anyone had experience buying from VIS recently? Specifically the "G speed" GP sports rep kit?? From what I can tell the photos on the website are the 'old mold' photos.. so I'm wondering what's up with the kit. May just call and see whats up.

[Beas]

just put Origin type 3s front and rear fenders on my s14. got them from TF works.

Rears- ok, had to trim the edges and the gas door required a lot of trimming to be able to open

Fronts- dog shit. so warped and poor fitting. took me forever to get them to line up somewhat decent. surfaces are all wavy too.

I second the pics! I have been tossing around the idea of getting a set of these for my s14. Don't mind doing some fitment tweaks obviously since no aftermarket body pieces really fit "perfect". But after hearing this I might just stick with my D-Max 40mm fronts and Origin Type 1 50mm (i think) rears instead seeing as they didn't require much to get proper fitment.Hmmmmmm decisions lol.

Main reason Im looking to switch it up is because I think the person that sold me the rears, actually sold me 30mm and not 50mm. It seems all the 50mm rears have a much larger lip in the gas door area then mine do. Anyone mind measuring their 50mm fenders in that area and letting me know so I can confirm this on my end?

So, they don't look too bad from the outside. the mounting points and everything u cant see is whats horrible. I ended up just riveting them on along the top edge. you can see a little bit of waves along the top. also the fitment around the corner light is pretty bad.

Don't mind her, check out the fitment around the corner lights. the driver side doesn't curve down like it should to fit the body line. sticks up. These fenders aren't too bad, I guess it just depends on how picky you are.

[speedfiend]

Damn yeah that is a little worse then I was thinking they would be. I had to do a good amount of work around the corner lights on my D-Max fenders also but I was able to get them set pretty good. Definitely not feeling the drastic difference in gap in such at the hood line. Looks like Im gonna be sticking to the 40mm 50mm setup I have now. That is if I even have 50mm rears. If they turn out to be 30mm then Ill be swapping them out.

I need side skirts and rear valences for a JDM kouki bumper. OR if someone has a US passenger side URAS rear valence available, I am missing one lol. I have a GP sports G Sonic One front bumper and Stage 21 hood.

I am contemplating getting some navan rep side skirts from forcewerkz, and i'm at a loss about the rear valences...maybe I won't rock any for a bit. Anyways, any input on forcewerkz current quality, and are there any other not super aggressive side skirts/rear valences available that wont take forever to ship? I don't mind spending $ on quality. Haven't bought s-chassis aero in a while and i'm a bit out of the loop.

BTW it's knoop's old car

[dorkidori_s13]

i am planning on getting URAS kouki rear valances into production within the next 6 months.... have a set of them sitting in my pile of "to do".

if you can wait on the skirts, i have Navan skirts hitting production very soon that will have a built in bracket so you can properly attach the sides below the door seam using double sided tape (no one else offers this). this tab will prevent them from moving and keep them properly affixed on the car (especially when your foot hits the skirt on the way in/out of the vehicle).

keep one thing in mind about the URAS valances, theyre a lot more aggressive than the OE valances and will probably sit lower than the Navan skirts.

[S13project]

OriginLab 2009/2015/2017

Bumpers fit OK. Skirts are either tad long or short. Overs usually require trimming to make them seem straight. Fenders are hit or miss. Spoilers tend to be a tad small and thus require a bit of patience when fitting. Never messed with their hoods. Even the fresh batch of their Type3 rear overs for s13 coupe. First run of them and they werent exactly straight and required minor trimming.
-Overall weight was good and it can take hits pretty damn well. Bounce back is nice too.
-Sometime wavy, sometimes decent...it will definitely need sanding.

ChargeSpeed 2009

-Only messed with their rear bumper but fitment was pretty damn good.
- Weight was respectable. Took some good hits and bounced back. Backed it into a foam barrier and was still in one piece...although I had to break it to carry it home since it wouldn't hold up to the drive.
-Decent finish. Not wavy, but still needed a bit of sanding

Rocket Bunny 2010/2013/2015

-Pre-Origin manufacture/distribution of V1 aero. S13/S14 fit like factory first time. No trimming no messing around. Fenders were also spot on.
-Post-Origin manufacture/distribution.....fits just like Origin.....it all just seems lazy. Will not buy any of the V1 kits again.
-V2 and Boss kit are back to spot on fitment first time. Thank you Greddy merge and distribution.
-Initially was worried about how lightweight the parts were. Could lift the rear bumper with a single finger. It takes a beating and bounces back ready for more. Still very impressed as I have been running this on my S13 for the past 6yrs and aside from a tire wall beating, have not needed to replace or repair a single panel...although its time now.
-Not wavy. Nice and pretty smooth. Minor sanding.

SpiritRei 2016
-Only fitted their s13 roof spoiler, but it was spot on. Lightweight. Clean and smooth.

Car Modify Wonder 2017

-Just finished installing the S13 coupe aero and front fenders and am just as impressed as I was installing two hatchback kits. One just bumpers and skirts and one with GT 50mm front and rear overs plus bunch of the canards, oh and the Lotus hood. Every last panel fit just like factory.
-It's the little things that make this kit stand out. Rivet nuts already installed on bumpers perfectly located of course. Most holes have been pre-drilled with small bits for lining everything up. Overs have dimples for the rivets and those dimples have centering points for a drill bit. Amazing.
-Weight is respectable. Seems well made, but won't know until after a couple events and bumps. This is what I'm currently switching over to from my V1 Rocket Bunny.
-Finish is beyond smooth. Doubtful minor if any sanding would be needed to ensure a clean paint finish.

On with the reps

AIT 2008

-Still one of the worst panels I've ever fitted to an s-chassis. Yes it could take a beating and the shape and look was good, but not worth the hassle.
-Weight....hefty.
-Finish was awful. Wavy as crap.

ChaserAero/AeroKits.net 2008
-Have only dealt with their hoods. Fit isn't perfect, decently light, fairly wavy, good skeleton. Folded one against a wall at 30 and it popped right back to shape. Drove it home on the highway that night. Have bought two. Only wish they were easier to deal with. Not even sure they are even around although the website is still up.

VIS Racing 2016

-Their Rocket Bunny V1 rep aero fits better than Origin but not by much. Not impressed, but its rep so w/e.
-Weight was up there. No comment as to the sturdiness or ability to take hits as it was not installed on my own car and its not drifted.
-Wavy wavy. Much sanding.

That's eveything I've ever touched or helped install or top to bottom installed.

It'd mostly be a bandaid to get the Navan reps, wouldn't be permanent. Idk, maybe i'll just let it ride for now.

Fitment is 7.5/10. Minor work needed. Would recommend for the price. Try contacting dealers versus paying msrp.

[1Day]

Anyone got any Rocket Bunny overs lately? Was on Greddy shop and they are claiming 50mm fronts and 80mm rears for the S13 coupes and S14, thats for V1 fenders not the Works overs. I haven't seen any info from Tra Kyoto on a redesign of the V1 fenders and was just wondering if anyone had any info.

[S13project]

Would be news to me. For V1 it was always 30mm front and 30mm rear. If there was a redesign would be nice to see. Always loved the shape and lines of the V1 stuff

[jds]

Origin 50mm zenki front fenders

fitment was pretty good, have a little issue with passenger side having a gap at the top of the corner light. I had to cut out the top of the support for headlight/cornerlight to get the corner light to fit on both fenders. Drivers side fitment was almost perfect
