One of them mentions the factory bumper? I imagine it's the 13+ OEM bumper since there is no mention of Nismo, and these jdm companies typically note nismo if it's for the nismo
^^^ as I posted, the arising II "out of the box" will not comply with the 09-14 Nismo front

So has anyone fitted Varis Arising fenders with the OEM front bar + Varis Kouki front lip, instead of the arising II front bar?

I am having it done atm. Would like to see if anyone else has done this exact setup:

Getting my toes wet for some fenders. I've read poor fitment with Duraflex and another brand that escapes me at the moment.

What would the best fitting brand be? IE least amount of extra work to get properly aligned, holes in the correct place, etc.

Varis will fit perfectly. That **** is as tight or tighter than stock
aimgain will fit perfect.
Any of the JDM brands will be perfect, that's why they're so expensive

Duraflex is guaranteed crap.

Seibon, fly1 will be off by varying degrees.

Carbon signal I heard is fine, but good luck ordering it, customer service is crap

Honestly, what are you looking for?
If u want wheel clearance, rolling and pulling is more cost effective, since varis only gets you 10 mm

If you simply want something for appearance
your best bet is to hope to contact Carbon signal or have a shop custom cut whatever you want

there's no quick easy fix here

AIMGAIN is extremely widebody so that's a whole other level

shadow85 - instead of using the add-ons, I chose to actually widen the front for a clean transition. (not to mention, they don't make an add-on that will comply for the 09-14 Nismo front bodyline)

I'm actually shocked more people don't have INGS fenders, for around 1k, they're relatively cheap for a very high quality fender

This is false!

Authentic JDM will have the best fitment compared to reps yes, but not perfect.

I know of 2 examples, my Varis fenders and my friends Varis Arising II front bar.

On my case, the genuine Varis fenders fit on nicely yes, but it left a wide gap between them and the hood of the car. The gap was very noticeable and had to be closed, which is what my body shop did by adding in, and now it looks correct.

On my friends car, the Varis Arising II front bar edges came up short on one side, it left about half an inch off from the fenders to the front bar. Not very noticeable but it was there and my friend pointed it out to me.

So no, you cannot say authentic is 100% perfect fitment. But they are very high in quality that's for sure. I am happy with my result

Sorry to hear that. Every car is different, i suppose, and i have no idea what condition your car is in or the quality of your shop

My own experience was with a hood, and its perfect.

Another car locally has the full kit minus the hood, perfect fit.

Other people that i've seen/talked to, perfect fit.
Local shop - reports perfect fit.

Late reply - it's probably because they aren't cheap and don't add any additional clearance

and on the personal side - i think they're ugly.

Agreed, Ings is hideous!

But another good Japanese one is Daytona Racing GTS fenders. Very clean and slick looking fender.

But since it was the close to the price of the Varis 6pc, I opted for Varis.
