extreme dimensions vader body kit?

i saw this kit and was wondering what you guys know about it. i am concerned just how low this kit is. if anyone has information or pics better yet, that would be awesome.

its a rip off of the Veilside Kit.

Heck... even the Veilside kit doesn't fit properly. I can't imagine a replica having any better fittment than the original...

that kit isn't that low, if you stay stock height. i think kits are fine at stock height unless you live in a place that has killer roads.

and question on fitment... sorry, no idea.

A couple of people bought that kit and supposedly it fits better than the actual Veilside one.

I have the Side Skirts and they fit perfectly.

that's amazing.

From what i've been told and what i've seen, the sideskirts are the worst offenders from the actual Veilside kit. which replica did you get?

I have the VADER kit myself and it requires some minor work (especially for me) since it wanted to make it unique. Check out the pics if you want to know the clearance...
It´s about 1,5 inches lower than the OEM front spoiler.

Hey Petrus, your 8 looks great. The vader kit looks real good without the sidemarker, even though I like the sidemarkers.

The red on the front bumper looks way off, is that the finished color?

It IS the finished color! Actually I don´t know how the color is, the photos made me a bit confused when first looking at them. IRL I can´t see any difference in between the 2. Hopefully it´s because the cameraflash or bad lighting inside... whatever.

in the 2nd pic you can tell that the paint is a little off..VR is a very hard color to match.

I´m a perfectionist.... I think I spent around 25 hours trial and error fitting the bodykit, once done the finishing installation is done in a few hours.

Just to make things 100% clear: Bodykits from Extreme Dimensions DOES require some adjustments and the paintshop will have plenty of work to do because the surface is not that nice.
