Default Viniati Buddy Club 2 Kit: PICS INSIDE

Well i got the kit put on. Let me tell you this thing really needs alot of work done for it to fit right. If your a perfectionist like i am then you def. need to spend alot of time and money. Here are pics of the flex fiber kit at night. Im going to get the kit repainted and def refitted and worked on really good sometime this month.

The front bumper doesnt align very well with the hood and its maybe 3 cm crooked to be even. The rear bumper does not meet very well with the rear fenders so theres a 2 inch gap and kinda sticks out an inch. The side skirts def don fit that great. There is a 2" gap were the fender and the side skirt meet in the front. and there is a 2 in gap when you open up the door on the rear of it.

Overall, by all means this is def the best kit i think for a scion. It's reasonable inprice and best in looks out there in the market. It really flows with the angles of the car and gives the car a real street car look.

When purchasing this kit expect alot of time and money to be worked on. You def need to get it fitted before paint. I give this kit **** (4stars) out 5.











AND THE PROUD OWNER


SPECIAL THANKS TO VINIATI !!

I don't understand how you can give a kit a 4-Star rating out of 5 when NOTHING fits!!!

I think the back looks like a great design, the sides OK and the front is terrible. It reminds me of every late-(but not current)-model Eclipse I see on the road.

I am sure this car is your baby, so I don't mean to insult you. I am just trying to give my fair opinion about the kit. I acknowledge you on the hard work put into the car though!

Trust me no hard feelings. I've delt with alot of criticism so your hurt me none.

I gave the kit four stars for looks/design/durability/uniqueness/fitment. Although you say the deisign it over played i feel it really gives the overall tc a great street look.

I say the best part about the car is the rear. It gives a nice smooth look. Only this is there are alot of holes in this kit. So its also another money issue to close em all up.

Now im just trying to see where i can find a right size of fogs to git in there.

Is it me or does the sides of the front and rear bumper look just like a Kaminari kit? They have the same side design in them. Kit looks ok. I like the rear also.
Im not sure how you gave it 4 out of 5 either though. Can we get some day shots please. Looks like you had the same issue I had with the paint on them.

it looks sweet as hell, but the kit looks different for some reason, maybe cuz they paint looks different, or the lighting on the car

Wow, the car looks beautiful. Definitely a nice kit. Personally, I like it completely including the front bumper.

Wish my car looked nice like yours

Thank you for sharing the pics too!

I love this kit, I was gonna take the sponsor offer but I just read too many things about the way it fit. If the sponsorship was a free kit I would of spent the money to have it painted and fitted right. It sucks that I have to look at another kit cuz of the fit problems. What do you think it would cost to fix?

BTW, car looks pimp. Not crazy about the AP color but at night with the lights it's really pimp.

HELL YEAH! That's the kit i'm ordering real soon too. AP REPRESENT! now that's a clean lookin kit. The sides are clean and simple, with a street-look twist. I love the front bumper. It gives the tC an agressive look yet still looking somewhat OEM. How much was the costs for everything? I need to be aware of what I'm getting myself into as well.

^^ yea it is duller. Like i said im getting it re-fitted and re-painted.

I paid $400 to get my kit painted. The dumba$$ guy basically painted the kit without it on my car. So he didnt fit it before paint. I complained about the sh!tty job he gave me and he basically gave me $100 back.

When you get the kit you only get the lower center grill. So im taking it to a guy this month who specialized in body kt work to refit my kit and add identical grills like the one it comes with on all the holes. He is charging me $300 for that.

Then he is referring me to his painter who is charging me $600 for repaint.

I know some people who paid BIG TIME money to get this kit fitted and painted. So basically your getting yourself in a deep hole with your wallet. But overall the kit looks really good.

And tonight on the way home literally 5 cars wanted to race me. So this get def. gets alot unwanted attention.

I hate the fact that people under estimate AP TC'S. I've seen a couple of nice souped up AP TC'S. And out of all the shows i go to i always get asked if mine is a custom color.
