JP Vizage lip kit
Really? Here is the ACTUAL letter from JP USA to their dealers. If you count production time and the 6+ weeks it takes to get a container here, you are talking APRIL DELIVERY, in my opinion. Also assuming a test fit with no problems!
===========
To our dealers,
JP USA is expecting a shipment of the first production piece of the JP Scion TC kit this week. The test fitment will be conducted during the middle of January 2007 and following our findings the initial batch will be put in to production in our manufacturing facility and will be shipped to us via our next polyurethane container ASAP. We would like to thank you for your patience with this matter.
Regards,
Rick Nguyen

"mid January 2007" is next week, not this week.
I would love to see where, on this forum (many times?) it says the kit will be test fitted in mid January, then manufactured, then shipped by container, not to arrive any sooner than March.

im sponsored by them and basically they are going through the final test fit steps and fine tuning the kit to make sure it is perfect.

The ETA has been extended a little longer, but you guys are definitely getting what you are paying for.
PM me if u have any questions.

We will see by the end of the day if we see real pics of this kits and not that photoshopped thing anymore.....let's hope for this delay to be put to an end..

He did mention however that those that pre-ordered and that have been patient are lucky since they are paying the $799 price minus the 10% they gave to show appreciation because the new prices for 2007 is $858 for the full kit.
I bought this kit because it is clean and very subtle. For $799 you cannot beat it considering this is high quality polyurethane. Keep in mind that JP Japan who manufactures these kits for JP USA have OEM contracts with Toyota so their quality is superior to other body kit companies you are comparing them to. I just checked out their updated website and they mentioned that they have ISO 19001 certification which is a VERY BIG DEAL, meaning they are up to par with car manufacturer standards. Like mentioned before, the prep work needed to get the kit painted and installed will be minimal compared to fiberglass or other lower quality polyurethane. The likely hood of having to ever replace parts on this kit is slim to none unless you run in to a brick wall or have a major fender bender.

"nit picking", "basic reading comprehension" -- hmmm. Based on your carefully selected quotes, I guess I might agree with you. I ain't here to pick a fight, just to share info and see what the real story might be.
Keep in mind that I have paid (Sept. 2006) and am waiting for this product. I believe it will eventually arrive and I believe it will be a high quality product. I'm excited to get one and I think they will look great on our cars.
I think as customers, we are entitled to a high level of integrity from the manufacturers, especially when our money, in the form of pre-orders, is used (even indirectly) to develop new products.
So, here's the "Short History of the Vizage Lip Kit" -- my hand-chosen quotes:
Racing Solution, Aug. 29, 2006:
Product will be released in October. Only a very limited number of these kits are coming to the US in October!. Pre-order yours so we can reserve your kit!!
Racing Solution, Oct. 29, 2006:
2 weeks until they get here
Racing Solution, Nov. 13, 2006:
Spoke to JP Vizage today and they said 2-3 weeks for the first shipment to arrive.

the kit is currently clearing customs and should be arriving within a week or so.

-- TakeitTC, I hope you're right and it's as close as you think. I say, let's get this kit on our cars so we can go back to racing....
