VIS or sarona kit for the 2k Max??

Im getting a body kit put on my 2k Max after the winter. I donno which one to go w/ the VIS combat kit or the Sarona kit. They both look exactley the sam, but i can get the VIS kit for about $600, and the sarona for $1050, is there a big difference??

Any help would be great, thanx

Think twice before u get either . I bought the Sarona body kit and heted it
the kit did not fit, there were 1 inch gaps in it and when I got into an accident (some guy rear ended me) not damage on his car and y whole bumper just shatered into pieces. The left side was hanging about 2 inches lower then the right. IMO the stillen body kit looks the nicest and it fits great.

Stay away from fiberglass kits!

both kits are the same, also, when you purchase a fiberglass kit, there will always be imperfections that the bodyshop needs to fix. PolyUr usually fits much better....

i believe teddi's kit is 100% custom? that'll cost a pretty penny...
i'm looking for a kit too but im holdin out until another bumper replacement kit comes out, hopefully in urethane...
in the meantime i too am staying away from 'glass

Get the Sarona/Kombat/Ninja kit from Spoiler etc, they have best fitment. There will always be little about fitment issue, but it all depends on your body shop. If they are good, they can fix the fiberglass kit to 100% fitment. Here are some pics

Sarona/ViS/Kombat/Ninja are all the same, the only difference is the side skirts. Sarona has 2 big holes locate on each side skirts. The rest are the same. ViS has major fitment issues. Spoilers ETC is the choice to get your Sarona/ViS/Kombat/Ninja kt.

Custom Maxima got their kit from Sarona, so they are the same. Secondly, CM after service isn't great and slow shipment too.

Check out "Latinmax" homepage for different side skirts. I think he got the kit from ViS. He spent lots of money to make that ViS kit fit.

man i have to admitted it your car looks good but i also had that same kit on my car and i would never get fiberglass again. you basically have to baby the car, you cant do anything or the kit will just shatter or the paint will spiderweb. I say the sonora kit is the best looking but its fiberglass you you will eventually hate it. take it from me dawg.
