VIS company been around longer then js racing and had there products out befor them,

 

thats a fairly big gap...this makes me think it was made for the jdm front end...which is shorter, uses different lights, hood, rad support, rebars......i could keep going

 

I'm gonna agree with Java, thats a huge gap. Maybe if it was 2mm but 2 cm? Sheeeet thats gonna kill your aerodynamics dawg .

 

Charlotte is right. VIS makes this bumper, it 's a replica of the JDM Mugen Front.

It is fiberglass and as far as fitment, it was a catastrophe. I do body work and paint and it took me countless hours. Lots of cutting out, lots of adding, lots of surface smoothing and prep.

My VIS kit didnt come with fog light mounts so I custom glassed mounts. The foglights I have in there are Raybrigs, stock from a 2005 Honda Element. =)

Ive glassed in SS brackets for the mounts so I can use the stock screws and clips to hold it tight.

 

Yeah that's exactly what I thought...it would be a nightmare if you don't know what you're doing...that's why you don't see too many people with these aftermarket kits. Looks really nice when done well however. I just wish that more companies realized the usdm fit is different and actually catered to us as well. until then... lol

 

I called VIS before ordering the bumper. They told me this was for fitment on the USDM 09 Honda Fit. They molded this bumper up for me when I ordered it. The real JDM is exactly what you said, tons of parts, tons of money, tons of time.

So yes, mine is a fake. This is a total DIY project for me and a Daily Driver, so not only does it look legit, it is fully functional and strong. I have tons of in progress pics if anyone wants to see how I did stuff. =)

 

and that matters why? most VIS stuff fits like crap and the clear on their carbon pretty much always turns yellow.

DocCCVp - props on the work; it looks good on there. I just wish they made a good fitting polyurethane version.

 

kapow! nothin yall havent seen before, 16x8 +35 rpf01's.
like'em? im sellin'em.

 

Hella!

 

Looks great! Love the red lugs too. Do you rub when you go over dips?

 

Heck yeah, polyurethane would be awesome. Nicely fitting parts would be great too.. It's frustrating when I see tons of different high quality parts in the Japanese market but here in the US market there is almost no variety and its all cheapo fiberglass knockoffs parts. =/

 

YEA! helllaaa! lol

thankkss!! noo, no fender rubbing cuz obviously rolled, but the front subframe bolts, plastic underlining and exhaust scrape over dips. no biggie though ahha *sigh*

 

Yeah, let me know if you have new wheels color.... I'm a little bit confuse about what kind of wheels I wanna buy, I want something that looks very japanese, but I don't like enkei rpf-1, LOL...... Maybe you have some advice for me........

 

 

Would you please stop spitting this garbage? You really haven't a clue what you are talking about. J's Racing has been tuning Honda's for racing in Japan longer than VIS has been making knock-off parts.

 

i wasnt knockin js. racing i like them , and i do know what im talking about, VIS made first GE8 full bodykit

 

What would be a fair price to pay to have a set of springs installed?

My NSX tech has a shop at his house and would certainly be capable of doing the job.

 

$100?

It's fairly easy on the Fit. Maybe $150 if you go with $75 an hour. It's like a 2 hour job for one guy.

 

I paid about $80 at my friendly Dodge dealer. Took about an hour. I had reviewed the DIY and was able to point out some of the pitfalls like dropping the axle.

 

Again please stop!!! The GE Fit was out in Japan a full year before it even surfaced in the US. J's doesn't even make anything for the Barbara nosed Fit as far as body parts go. So, technically they made a knock-off of the Mugen front from Japan. I believe Mugen had a front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts and grill in the US the day the GE went on sale as well.
