Hello,

So I'm genuinely curious if anyone has used the R Speed kit from VIS on their FD?

From what it looks like, it is also a replica of the Burnout kit that a lot of you have.

Is the quality of the Shine Auto kit really that much better?

I figured if there was going to be some body work adjustment either way I go, how bad can the VIS kit actually be?

Widebody fenders aside, they look mostly the same.

Here is the kit in question:



...and obviously the Shine Auto kit:

Is there really no one out there that is running this kit (or will admit to it?)

Might try the interior/exterior forum.

The pic that you posted is the original kit from burnout, the kit that shine auto makes is a replica of that. With that said, Shine Auto has proven to have very good fitment. Checkout this thread for actual pictures of shine auto Ks kits:

I don't know anything about the ViS kit but that car pictured looks very familiar to this car:

So you may want to contact evotechnik for questions regarding his kit.

Oh, wow. That does look to be the exact same car.

I was looking at it in another thread by chance, but it looks very different now:

Hm, no response yet -- however the kits look very similar.

I may give it a shot myself and let you know how it turns out, even if it means modding a lot in order to get it to fit.

from my experience shine auto kit is ****.i bought the 8 pieces kit n both front fender is a lil short so cant even use it.theres a big gap between the hood n front bumper so their fitment suck.

Interesting!

Well, I figured if I would need to modify the kit anyway, I might as well get the VIS version...

Thanks for your input.

I thought most people were extremely happy with Ken's products . Did you get it straight from them?

Actually I spoke to ken once regarding the feed style skirts and I was very impressed with his customer service. I have seen a few of his products up close and personal and I didn't see any real flaws. Not that I was looking for them, I just didn't notice any.

Interested to know this as well. Looking to make a purchase this weekend and would like as much input as possible.

Don't get me wrong, Shine Auto seems like a very reputable company, and I've heard and seen quality product. I was more curious on if anyone has actually run the VIS kit at all?

My only experience with them is with hoods, which I had on my NSX and it fit nicely. I was hoping it translated over to their kits.

Hood in question:


But companies all have strengths and weaknesses, of course...

More feedback appreciated!

Hello, fellas. Just wanted to update the thread.

I went and bought the VIS kit -- I guess they didn't have a mold for the front bumper, so I ended up going with another one.

The actual pieces for the Burnout/Shine sideskirts and rear bumper fit near perfect.

The VIS front bumper that I got instead of the Burnout/Shine style from VIS sucked horribly.







I'll see if I can get photos after body work...just wanted to update everyone. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

I know Shine Auto Kits fit great, but this might be a good alternative for anyone that is looking for a decent fitting kit. Just a shame I couldn't get the front bumper.

I am little bit confused by your post.

So you bought a complete kit from ViS minus the bumper.... Did you go with another model from ViS or a completely different vendor?

This is the part that I don't get: The actual pieces for the Burnout/Shine? I thought you just said you bought the complete kit from ViS? And another thing: did you get the pieces from Burnout or Shine? Makes a big difference when reporting who you bought your kit from.

Wow that bumper is not fitting too good. What model did you go with?

Sorry, I meant the Burnout/Shine style -- not the actual kit. Everything I bought was from VIS. The front bumper is VIS V-Speed; fits like total garbage. The rest of the kit from VIS in the Burnout/Shine style fit very well (it's known as R-speed from VIS).

I'm working on getting the front bumper to fit now. My body shop says it's gonna be a little work. I'm still really curious how their mold is for the R-speed front bumper.

Wonder if it would have fit better than what I have.

I would bet money that any product from Shine would > VIS.

I was given a few VIS products for free and I threw them away the fit was so bad.

Hello,

So I know it's been a while but I had to put off working on the car in light of other things, but I finally got it back from paint; the sideskirts and rear bumper fit near perfect with very little modification.

The front bumper from VIS was bad, so it had to be re-worked in order to fit. (As seen in the previous photos)

Overall, it was decent! Here are some photos:









I need new wheels.

That bumper doesn't look like the Burnout bumper.
