VIS Magnum body kit (IMSA) copy. anyone got it or better pics???
Been eyeing this kit for a while as I love the look of the imsa kit that Mazda offered. But I can only ever find this one crappy picture. Google and the forum search has come up with jack squat.
It looks good but the side skirts look weird, just looking for some better pics.

I am very experienced in composites. And I don't have much to work with as far as kits and styles so ill just have to deal with it. Almost all body kits require a lot of fitment. Personally, the FB should be cake compared to kits I've installed on newer "smooth body" cars.

I actually bought that kit last year for my 81. I finally finished bolting up my front end recently and opened the box yesterday to test fit. The side skirts that came with the kit are nothing like they show in the picture. They have a nice look to them but unfortunately don't fit worth ****. Too short and won't fit on without carving out and butchering my rocker panels, and that's not going to happen. The front and rear both fit nice though.
Needless to say, I'm now looking into options for side skirts that don't require chopping off my rocker panels. I was looking at the Extreme Dimensions M-1 or the GP-1. Any feedback as to whether these are relatively easy to install or require serious modifications would be very much appreciated. I think I'm leaning more to towards the M-1. It looks like it would be a better match with the VIS kit that I have.

I do like the GP-1 side skirts, but from the picture, it looks like the rocker panels may have to be cut out to make room for the indent towards the back. I'd like to hear from anyone that has installed either of these two models.
