Sam Handwich Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Recently got some VS over fenders that didn't fit. Found these on Ebay and was just wondering what people thought before i spend my pennies http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-VS-OVER-WIDE-ARCHES-FENDERS-FLARES-BODYKIT_W0QQitemZ360255454905QQcategoryZ72207QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D15%26pmod%3D290493255701%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4813513104672258688 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 spend money on ebay kits and you will then be spending more money making them fit. Buy them at a bodyshop, the same place that fits them, then you know what you are getting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 They aren't even remotely like VS overfenders. The car they have as the main image has VS overfenders, it's a shame that isn't what they are selling. A few people have fallen for that one. Time and time again I have seen them come up here as VS overfenders. Al (Blackie) got them and just binned them as they weren't even close to the real deal.

aman00123 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I got mine from an ebay company called mad.car.stylings and were fine as you can see from my garage, not exactly bolt on but didn't need massive amounts of work to fit, and much cheaper than the company you just saw!

marbleapple Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Just don't buy them from Knight Racer as they are utter tripe and their Bomex replica front spoilers are little better. Never used Knight Racer but I had always heard good things about their kits. Is that not the case? I got my Do Luck bumper from Whifbitz. Can't advise on fitment because it was done for me but looked good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Im hoping for KR's sake that the arches were just popped out the mold while they were green, if thats the product they will need to scrap the molds which is not a cheap thing to do, the Bomex will fit but needs quite a bit of fiddling which my experience of Bomex fronts is not true of a genuine one, I dont see the point in saving on a copy to then have to pay a body guy more to get something full of filler to fit. I too have heard some peeps say they got a good fit but when I mentioned my body guy would rather not use the Bomex it was poo pooed and I was told weve fitted loads they are fine, well imo its not fine and im representing their customer so I will never use them again, but they have loads of satisfied customers so make your own mind up.

mwilkinson Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Buy genuine buy once in my opinion. I find places that offer blended kits generally supply poorly fitting kits. I would spend the money importing a set of genuine VS over fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 MVP have some genuine ones for sale for $558, if you want the carbon fibre ones they are $900+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 yep would have to agree and get genuine ones, unless you are blending them in because it dont matter, more work is needed anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
