Did anyone by any replicas from vis racing before? Ings+1 replica in particular. I was wondering how is the fitment on the side skirts?

Thanks

i bought a pair of side skirts from vis. The fitment was alright i had to do some minor modifications to them to make a ensure they had smooth lines. The passenager side skirt was a little short so when we put it on; it got a small crack, nothing unrepairable though

This statement is spot on, VIS stuff fits great but you can watch it fade in real-time.

Fitment is hit or miss, just like all hand wet carbon hoods. They tend to use a very week UV gelcoat, so just get it cleared after you buy it.

Parts I ordered in the past fit poorly, this was years ago so maybe the quality has improved*shrugs*

i heard from a local shop around here that vis racing started doing more mass producing of aftermarket kits and hoods and the quality of their product kind of started to tail off...it was just what i heard but worth considering

good luck with the skirts man

Garbage... Back a few years I bought a kit and hood. The kit didn't fit for shat and forced me to mould the kit and the hood turned into dry carbon fiber after 6 months.(Faded)

Now I don't know they could have the best fitting kit out there. I will never know though. They didn't help with the kit not fitting and the hood.

Do you mean replica Amuse lip kit?

I know Seibon released their replica Amuse rear and side skirts not too long ago.
