What shops are reputable to buy side skirts and a rear diffuser from?

hrtbrknprince · 11-01-2018, 12:54 PM

I'm ready to pull the trigger on side skirts/blades and a rear diffuser possibly a Ikon duckbill but I don't know where to purchase from. The only place that I haven't heard anything poor about is Ebay

I don't want carbon fiber just FRP plastic that I'll get painted black.

Fly 1 ?
Aero Jacket?
Evo R?

From all the stories of people having to wait months or it doesn't fit should I just take my chances with ebay for these items? At least if I get screwed there it'll be cheap..

Any help?

If you want top quality, you'll pay the higher price and wait the required time.

If you just want a quick part for your money, purchase the cheaper variations.

In my opinion, always look for quality parts on the used market.

Concept Z Performance, Z1, and The Z Store are all quality vendors that usually have actual stock of the items listed for sale.

Also, Bulletproof is good for JDM. Expect to pay. And wait.

Most vendors are fine if their are no problems. But if there are problems you'll have to move heaven and earth to get them to even respond to you.

My Z1 Bumper conversion kit was discolored and scratched up, I was told they are just purchasing them from Nissan and they don't have any control over defects.

Stillen, "leave it out in the sun and it will get back to shape" "it's fine, that's normal with our products" when asking about replacing my saggy poor fitting front bumper.

Carbonsignal, you want to cancel your pre order, sure, but their will be a 20% restocking fee.

Well damn. That's kind of why I guess I might as well buy something cheap if its basically a roulette regardless of where I buy it from...

That sucks that you've gone through that.

Fly 1 isn't bad. Lohit's a good guy. Aerojacket is gone. Carbonsignal is very good quality which I highly recommend.

if you buy for example the fuji rear diffuser from rhdjapan or vividracing or something like that i guarantee there will be very little issues, and anything that comes up would be resolved quickly.

i went with vividracing for my amuse front bumper, and rhdjapan for my fuji diffuser, absolutely seamless transaction and quality was top notch
