Aero/Fender fitment thread

[Cpreston]

I feel like a lot of these opinions are just that, opinons. What one guy thinks fits like dog shit, another guy might think it's not that bad.

I have the vis racing b-speed kit (bn rep) for my s13. So far I know the rear bumper is gonna need some work, the sides flare out pretty bad, hoping I'll be able to heat them up and bend them back in. The side skirts seem too short and the ends of them look like they bend in. Again, hoping some heat will help me get them to fit decent. I have no clue how good the front will fit because I haven't gotten my fenders yet so I can't really test fit it.

I just ordered "gtp f kon-x" 20mm front and 30mm rear overfenders from chaser aero. I'm assuming they won't fit very good, I'm not entirely worried about it as long as I can get them to fit pretty decently.

Overall, I do agree it would be nice for frp kits to come fitting perfectly, but it's not likely. If I was building a show car I would have went with more expensive stuff but I'm not.

100% Agree with you.

Bought both front and rear origin type 3 over fenders. +45 in front and +55 in rear. Both fit like shit.

Cliff notes

Body shop told me they will not bolt on without cracking.

I contacted enjuku and sent them pictures

Enjuku contacted origin and origin said to use a heat lamp and force it to bolt up.

I asked what happens if they break after doing what origin said.

Enjuku said we will cross that bridge if it comes.

Went through bank and am in the process of getting a refund so I can buy authentic bn fronts and chargespeed rears. Because we all know that if they break they will use the, "you already installed them. Sorry you're shit out of luck, sport/champ/buddy/boss." Card

Multiple people have said that these new origin type 3 fenders suck

[1on1]

has anyone purchased ED chargespeed 50mm reps for an s14? If so, do you have any photos and how's fitment?

[1Day]

For another 100 dollars you could pick up the 2F Performance ones. Those are the ones Julian Jacobs "gobackwards" runs.

Origin 50mm tatakidashi's fit and line up nicely with a little heat gun work, zero trimming.

Bumping this up for any people with recent ED experience. Looking to pick up a s13 silvia front bumper from them and I was hoping someone had recent experience with them as it seems like the reviews vary.

Their front bumpers are... Okay.

I had an Msports rep front from them that fit pretty well out of the box, and a GPSports rep from them that fit like dick and needed TONS of work to fit. This is all in the span of 4 months.

Looking at a g-corp replica front bumper. I'll definitely be modifying it but I am not looking to spend the almost $400 on a bumper that is trash straight out of the box

They're a junk company. While you may get lucky and get a decent fitting one, you'll still be giving your business to a company that doesn't give a shit about you once you've bought their parts. Their refund policy is a joke, and their Vertex replica everything fits like garbage, as do their front fenders. Absolutely nothing lines up even close. You get what you pay for.

[TheRealSy90]

I have an ED/Duraflex BN Type II kit, the front bumper fitment is garbage. Literally nothing lines up at all, there's gaps everywhere in weird spots. At the hood line between the popups it/s lower on one side, and sticks up higher almost an inch when you get to the other end. The skirts fit fine actually, haven't gotten to the rear bumper yet :/

[KAT-PWR]

Another checking in for ed
S15 conversion fenders
S15 spec r rep bumper
S15 hood
All of it needs a ton of work to fit mediocre.
Trash products in every sense of the word. I would have rather spent the money i spent on their fenders covered my stock fenders in spray foam, shaped it, glassed it, made a mold, made my own fender....
Because if i messed up the money would've been wasted in the same fashion.

Thanks for the input guys.

Out of the box origin Type III fender and Rocketbunny front bumper.

[rawgarage]

Looking good

Dmax type 3
Dmax type 3 front bumper fit flawlessly and so did the rear bumper. Rear bumper didn't have that usual sag between the center garnish and tail light

I'm glad to hear that Origin still kits well... I've dealt with DMAX in the past, and their kits fit well. Their hoods seemed to be hit and miss. And speaking of hoods, anyone here order a Origin hood as of late? If so where you happy with the purchase?

My Origin hood fits great.

Agree 1000% with your dmax kit statement. I've dealt with so many bullshit aero companies from chaser to duraflex and I finally was fed up and just bought dmax. No trimming, no heating up to flex it to fit my car. I literally had it all mocked up and mounted within 20 mins.

I can't speak to how their actual kits fit, but my DMAX fenders fit like ass. Line the fenders up to the hood and then the door gap is too small. Line the fenders up to the door and the trailing edge of the fender hits the A-pillar. Line the A-pillar up and nothing else matches. Get everything 90% and the back of the fender doesn't bow out enough so every time I try to open the door it grabs the fender. Right now I have a block of wood between the actual car and the fender pushing it out enough so I can open the door.

Guys, this is not a thread to spam with random pictures of aero equipped cars.
This thread is for posting your experience with fitting aero to a car. If you don't have a constructive post, please refrain from posting.

[Davizz]

Well in that case (this is my own car)

[PoorMans180SX]

Sooooooo how does it fit? Trimming required? Were the panels warped much?

I must say, Vertex really doesn't dissapoint me.
The fitment on the front is amazing, everything connects really really well on eachother.
Skirts and rear bumper fits really well to, only thing they could have done a bit better is the rear fender fitment.
The upper part of the fender (which lays on top of the original fender) the part between the trunklid and the rearlights, coulda have a little bit of a better fitment.
But hey, you wont hear me complaining about it, if i hear that A-brands like Rocket Bunny have a shit fitment.
With Vertex you get a 95% quallity worth your money fitment.

I have had the Bn rep front bumper from Vis for a while now. Fitment was good, but not great. It's a little wider on one side where it lines up with the fender, but also I have oem fenders and one side got in a crash. I pulled and hammered the fender back to stock and it actually looks like it wasn't in a crash besides for one dent above the wheel but I believe that is why it looks to be wider in that area. Where it wraps around the fenders is good on both sides. I haven't trimmed it at all or heated it up, but if I did around that area I believe that it would be perfect fitment.

I also had an AIT uras rep rear bumper that was terrible and I would have snapped the bumper if I even tried to make it fit around the quarter panels. It would have required a ton of work to look half ass so I sold it. I don't think the person that bought it ever even took the time to try making it work.

Right now I have another uras rep bumper or could be a origin aggressive, but I'm not sure who makes it. I was told it was vis, but vis comes with black gel like duraflex and this one is white. Might even be authentic, I'm not really sure, but it fits 95% perfect with no cutting or heat and is brand new. I am selling it because I was told it was a bn and bought it at night so I was disappointed to find out it was another uras so I'm selling it, but I was very pleased with the quality. It is super stiff though so I think I would crack it VERY quickly without some heat treatment to loosen it up.

My sideskirts are also unknown and were white gel originally, they are bn rep and are super thin and flimsy, but very flexible because of it and the fitment is ok. They crack very easily but needed no heat or trimming at all to make fit good.

Currently in the market for a bn rep rear bumper for a hatch and have been reading this thread for a year or so. I don't want to spend much because it is only temporary and to match the rest of my kit so I was looking at vis which I have had a decent experience with or duraflex which I only hear bad things about, but my friend's bumper from them fits pretty damn good. I will be buying the real bn kit in the upcoming year, but I need a bumper to throw on to match for now and was wondering if there are any recent experiences with Vis and ED from their Bn mold???
