I'm trying to find better pics of the version select body kits. The ones from versionselect.com are crap, I cant see anything. i've check a few other places but didnt have any good pictures. Can anyone with the version select kits for the zenkis post up or anyone with some better pictures can tell me where to look. Thanks.

What are you looking for in these pictures...?
Try searching, each of the cars is for the most part labeled. Search Drift Unit and you'll probably find lots of pictures of the kit, or try searching for pictures of zenkis with aero theres a good chance it has vS stuff on it.
did you look in the VS gallery? cuz there are tons of pretty decent pics in there

I am extremely interested to see better pics of the S14 Zenki Version IV.
All I have seen is the small pic of the black one on their site. Anyone have full size pics?

I am assuming you want to see the quality of these kits.
I have installed a couple of these and I was mildly satisfied. The bumpers fit fairly well, and the side's require the usual trimming. However, with these kits you will have to refinish the skirts if you want a nice smooth finish. If you look at the Red S13 on their site you can see the "waves" down the side of the skirt. The paint is not at fault here - the skirts have an uneven surface. With the Bomex / VIS kits they are thick enough that you can sand most of that crap out. The Version kits are too thin for this depth of sanding. You will have to use a high build urethane primer-filler over and over again to get a quality finish.
I am super picky so all may not agree.

Most kits I've seen are wavey and do need to be 320 sanded down after a shot of guide coat. That's just basic prep work. As for V:S quality, it's getting better. I've gotten a second batch I would say of their "improvements'. Glass is thicker,a nd seems to be more sturdier than the first kit I ordered. Overall their quality is going up, and their product is excellent for the price. As for the V:S version 4 kit, I'm not going to have any of them on the car, but I'll post pics of them next week.

That’s good to hear. The first Version III we got for an S14 was pretty thin. I was seriously worried about sanding much beyond the gelcoat.
The price is right thats for sure.

Im that guy that works there on their site. Ask him for large pictures and he will send them. They look way better than those crappy small ones. Dont forget to post them up too.

browse www.driftunit.com
there are tons of pics of the White Zenki S14, Green Zenki S14 and Black Kouki S14 sporting the Version Select Kits...
the fiberglass is pretty thin but its strong enough to survive a 45mph crash which happened to me....clean crack in the bumper and still in 1 piece....other things that broke were coilovers, bent wheel, tension rod, bent crossmember...
V:S sideskirts will hold on by itself when the door is shut and some screws on each end of the fenders (zipties work great too), rear bumper will fit snug and stay on with the rear bumper bracket (screw or ziptie ends to the fender) front bumper will most likely need sanding around the bumper support for snug fitment.....
if people are picky about the kits being super perfect, minimal prep time, dont wanna break aero, or dont run track/drift events then dont buy Aero for the most part. Even the real JDM shit requires prep and will break....and if u are really desparate and want the aero then buy the real thing and hardpark your car and you can now brag about having the real thing.

mark, jay and jerrry all have V:S bumpers (etc) and have all hit cones at excessive drift speeds.....yet i have not seen one V:S bumper crack or break. in fact their bumpers have help up to my OEM bumper......
....zip ties save lives...
