does anyone have any experience with race on usa products?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HiFle...spagenameZWDVW

i'm thinking of getting this but not sure if the fitment would be good, i like something to be near oem =D since my fenders are busted.

lflkajfj12123 · 01-03-2008, 10:46 PM

UGh christ
doesnt matter if ebay as long as its stuff that isnt for sale

yokotas13 · 01-03-2008, 10:48 PM

thats not in Gen

only in for sale

Rayne · 01-03-2008, 10:49 PM

Unless the company has managed to get past the typical cheap knockoff fitment issues in the recent years, Race on parts are usually really bad, due to fitment problems.

Now a days companies like Version Select are better known for having decent products despite being knock offs.

rb25crazy · 01-03-2008, 10:50 PM

ohhh, i see so i guess no one has tried it =( anyone have any suggestions for kouki fenders then? i'd like to go the oem route but it's a lot of $$$ wondering if there is a better alternative that's all thanks =D

2wo4orty · 01-03-2008, 11:04 PM

race on usa makes knockoffs??

isnt their stuff pretty expensive

Full-Lock · 01-03-2008, 11:21 PM

na like everything in raceon catalouge is a knockoff

sa3reghatch · 01-03-2008, 11:29 PM

a friend of mine got the S15 conversion fenders for an S13 and the fitment was pretty good.

soon2bs13 · 01-03-2008, 11:31 PM

my neighbor dealt with them once. they seemed okay, but sent him a cracked part which he had to fix himself. i am sure you will hear mixed reviews about them.

SUPERSTAR · 01-03-2008, 11:40 PM

I have friends that use their products. So far so good. You want direct fit?
Vertex is the way to go. Their kit also uses O.E bolts and holes are precut.

Jdotsturn · 01-04-2008, 12:38 AM

Dont get them.

I bought the s13 silvia Hi Flex 20mm front fenders and fitment was horrible.

I spent the whole day dremeling, heat gunning and sanding to make them fit even decent.

Just spend the extra money and get quality.

Grenade180sx · 01-04-2008, 01:00 AM

my hood fits aiite.

but damn body panels can move after 15 years

SimpleSexy180 · 01-04-2008, 01:02 AM

doesnt raceonusa just buy products already knocked off?

Full-Lock · 01-04-2008, 01:03 AM

^yea

its seems to be hit and miss with them

ive never bought through them, its just what i hear

i see people buy hood, aero, etc and have it fit no complaints
then i see some weird shit from them that i cant believe they actually feel comfortable selling.

slideattack · 01-04-2008, 06:48 AM

I got my s15 conversion from them...fitment was pretty good but 1 of my fender tabs was broken off, but I guess that was due to shipping. Overall I was happy with it.

the fitement is great the only prob i had when i bought there s15 conversion was the front fenders this is prob due to the fact it was a carbonfiber front end fenders and all but the fitement issuse were extremely minor and seeing as they are the HIflex i'd say your safe and the facet its for the app you working with then yes you'll be ok

**ThatGuy** · 01-04-2008, 07:12 AM

Just say NO to Knock-Offs!

01-04-2008, 07:30 AM

you guys do realize that this is body work right? nothing ever fits with body work... A friend got some parts from them and the fit wasnt perfect, but good enough... just gotta work with it a little to get it perfect!

300hp owen · 01-04-2008, 08:08 AM

I and several friends have bought raceonusa parts for our FCs and the fitment was fine, just a little work here and there, nothing major. of course they dont fit like stock but I didnt expect them to fit that easily and that well, they arent that pricey either. delivery and communication was always good. just ordered a front lower half bumper for my FC and it arrived in less than a week and that was from coast to coast by freight, not bad at all, they really hustle to get parts out the door fast, unlike most other shops.

mehsilvia · 01-04-2008, 08:21 AM

All aftermarket kits/body are gonna take some work.

Ive recenty purhased a front FRP INGs copy and fitment was just fine. The quality is great, and it is a product made by them. I actualy had to wait a few days for it to be made, and then i picked it up. Their communication was good too.

sillyvia13 · 01-04-2008, 09:24 AM

This is pretty much EXACTLY what I hear all the time from customers who buy cheap knock offs. They get screwed so bad on shipping.

Edgar · 01-04-2008, 10:22 AM

everything none BN Sports sucks

HyperTek · 01-04-2008, 10:27 AM

it is suggested by bodykit companies to have professional installation... usually meaning some work is going to be needed.. now everyone is under the understanding that things bolt up like OEM and they can do stuff themselves.. Those with bodykit experience probably wouldnt mind a little cutting/trimming here and there...

I used to work in the bodykit industry a few years ago, and it was really stressful when people dont have an understanding of that.

but yah there really is no excuse for stuff that needs to be extrended or shortend.. Bad replication by the lowest manufactuer. But alot of local bodykit companies now a days will actually work with you if thier product is really bad, usually they will pull the mold if it is that bad.. I dont think race on stuff is that bad.

Anyways, i hear good things about shine auto. But im in socal, we have the luxury of driving to these companies to pick up the kits, saves a bunch on shipping.

WHAT SUCKS IS NONE OF THESE BODYKIT COMPANIES REALLY HAVE ORIGINAL DESIGN BODYKITS like the japanese companies..

the kit on my fc is a AIT kit, looks like it fit pretty decent

silnismo · 01-04-2008, 11:09 AM

i got my s14.5 carbonfiber fenders from them, and it fitted like crap.

i give them 5 our fo 10.

if you want good fitment with no work, i suggest OEM or authentic japanese aero. My signal auto front bumper need absolutely no work needed at all.

gaijins13 · 01-04-2008, 01:13 PM
