Any experience with knock off supermade kits?

[fkhuk]

I would love to get a legit Supermade, but I can't find any for what I'm willing to pay for it. So, I've been looking at some of the knock off kits, and was wondering if there is anyone that can give me feedback on how some of the knock offs fit. I don't want to hear "all knocks off fit horrible" or "that company sucks" I want to really know how these kits fit.

VIS $850 shipped. From what I've found searching this seems to have pretty good reviews.

ABS Dynamics $650 Can't really find any info, only info I could find is one guy swearing this kit fits great.

Chaser - Ive heard great things about their fitment, but can't find any of their stuff for sale, anywhere.

If Im missing some please let me know!

Every Vis part I've seen has fit pretty nicely. Like 8/10
Abs dynamics idk.
Who ever told you chaser stuff fits well fuckin lied to you.
The reason you can't find their stuff is because of how many people they scammed out of thousands of dollars. Read through the review threads pretty shady shit.

Also, from some of the stuff I've gathered, A lot of these types of companies offer compensation in form of partial refunds or new kits, with the agreement to take down their posts of their shitty fitment on the forums etc.

i have fitted several vis kits on other peoples cars and they all fit terribly but never the supermade copy so cant give you any real answers on that

i know you said you dont want to hear it but im going to say it anyways pretty much all copies are going to fit like garbage

if you cant afford the real thing maybe you should wait on getting an aero kit

my old car had a combination of vis and abs parts. fitment was good and I was very happy with the way it came out.

For the most part, most knock off kits are hit or miss. All depends on who made the batch. Somebody be having a bad day and make shitty batches. Chaser, I would only buy from them if you can make the trip up there and have them fit it on your car so you'll see first hand if they'll fit or not.

Thanks for the info guys, I can't remember where I found Supermade kits for sale in the states for price reference. Has anyone else found them as of late? I obvious will not pay to have an entire aero kit shipped from Japan, shipping would be ridiculous. I'm nervous to get knockoff kits because I'm not really one to use "discounted" parts per say, but I can't live without the Supermade look haha

if you want a good fit just save your pennies and have the real thing shipped. The one knock off supermade kit I dealt with fit like ass. The side skirts were really wavy and needed a lot of body work and needed to be blocked as did the bumpers. the rear bumpers had large gaps where it met the quarters and the side skirts also had bad gaps that the door hit when it was opened or closed. The front bumper seemed as if it was also too big for the front end so you had to force it into position to make it match up with the fenders but if you did that you had gaps around the headlights and the bumper wouldn't match up to the front brace that you bolt it down to.

I have a chased supermade kit. Fits ok, but needed work. From everything else I hear most chaser actually fits like shit, and they are awful to deal with.
