I was at the shop today where my roommates 240 is getting an SR put into it and they had another 240sx with a VIS fiberglass front bumper. Overall, i would say the quality of the fiberglass and how it was made FAR exceeds the quality of the CRAP the Type-S front bumper is made out of. The Fiberglass was exceptionally smooth, Fitment of the bumper was was near "perfect" for being fiberglass. It even had an attachable lip the bolted onto the fiberglass that fit perfectly. If any of you get a chance to check the quality of these bumpers to the quality of the Type-S you will see what i mean. I know for a fact because i have seen both in person and both unpainted.


For those that dont know, "VIS" makes bodykits and hoods for many different types of cars.

 

I got a chance to see the type-s kit unpainted a few days ago.. That has got to be the poorest made and cheapest quality kit available. Light and flimsy. You could porably kit a whole in it with your shoes if you had that kit on your car.

damn.. my bad with the 3 posts.. da org was hanging as usual.. kept click on refresh

 

If only more people could realize this, then we could get a better made kit that ACTUALLY could fit withOUT any major modifications.

 

Easier said than done. Not many companies want to develop parts for us.

 

Josh-
You've had the Type-s front bumper for month and a half. You never got back to me about getting the bumper replaced if the bumper is so badly damaged from the shipping. My offer to replace your damaged bumper is still on the table.

i am not trying to put you down. i am just saying that the quality,from what i saw in person, between the two pieces was a difference between hot and cold.
About the new bumper, it has been so long that i dont even think that the shipping company would take it back. Plus, i dont have anyone that would want to buy the other one and have no need for a new one because i already put a stock OEM bumper back on.

 

I'm glad you didn't get my Sarona bodykit.

 

VIS makes pretty good stuff. But if you want to see real quality, look at some high end japanese body kits. I've looked at a couple up close, and the quality is unbelievable. But then again, it's $3K+ for the kit.

 

Yes, kits such as Veilside or Bomex are not even comparable, but for the VIS it is a different story. Vis bumpers go for about the same price if not the same as the the Skyline Type-S bumper goes for .
