Ok well i have had the Vizage/JP kit now for little over a year. i'm currently going on my second bumper (my fault it's not a snow plow). Here is my thoughts on the kit and what i would have loved to see fixed with it.


first off the fitment. well some parts are good and some well could use work.

the front end fits pretty well little work to get it on and looking good, but its very heavy so make sure its on right or it can hang down and sit low. the under body plastics don't bolt up to the kit at all so those might have to be removed. i have yet to find a way to keep those on there. the fog lights are a 3 inch diameter give or take. if you get really anything smaller you have a lot of space around the light and the kit, kinda looks funny. check pics of my car to see what i mean.

the rear skirt is really nice it does add to the bumper and has a nice flow to it. really nothing to complain about here.

the wing fits just fine but is a little heavy as well but most wings are. i just wish that it sat on top of the hatch and not overlaying the hatch because it always looks like your hatch is open, and it over hangs the rear tail lights a little unless to sand them down to fix that problem.

the side skirts ok here is my biggest gripe with these things..they are not flush to the body, infact they go over your stock side skirts! personally i think its the stupidest design for a side skirt i have ever seen. Greddy had a good design, you remove the stock and replace its flush and looks like its part of the car. these skirts look like they where glued/bolted on i wish they would redesign them so they where a replacement part and not a glue on part just a little bit of material thats all it would take.

alright well all in all i do like the kit, other wise i wouldn't have gotten the same front bumper for replacement. i just know there are somethings that might need a little body shop work/molding to fix.

alright well there you have it. my review of the Vizage/JP kit.

 

I concur that it would have been nice if the side skirts were a replacement, rather than going over the stockers. They require a bit of work (molding) to get them to look right, however once that is done they are OK.

Also worth noting is that the kit makes it hard to lower your car (for those who choose to get different wheels and tires), so if there's a gap, you might find that lowering the car makes the front end too low. I *still* debating whether to put the Hotchkis springs on that I bought before I got the kit, and those lower the car only about 1/2" in the front. I don't know if I can go 1/2" lower (or rather, I know I could, but I don't know if I could stand the scraping and possible destruction of the front bumper).

 

Thx, more poeple should do long term updates on their products, keeps things interesting and helps people out.

as you can see the front end is quite a bit lower.

 

Also seems to stick out more (a shot from the edge of the front wheel would have shown this, though maybe it's just my perception). Yours looks lower than mine (I think I'm currently at ~4.5").
