replica Voltex widebody kit

Looking to see what companies still make these? I use my car mainly for road course and I dont want something as expensive as the Voltex kit.

I saw a thread from 5 years ago with a few companies that made a replica but wondering if there are any new names in the business now.


I see domospeed is gone, I still see VIS and then there is the company TF uses.

Extreme Dimensions. Takes some work to get a proper fit. Well....a decent fit. It's the route I'm going when I move to wider wheels.

I was specifically looking for that kit, but couldn't find anything about it on the internet. I guess I didn't Google hard enough.

Is the extreme dimensions one the same as the Duraflex VT-X?

That's the one I saw, just wasn't sure how it looked on the front since their model car is black. Are voltex fenders also frp? I might go with carbon fiber instead for that piece.

A guy I know was on an accident that damaged his Voltex bumper. He had a body shop install an ED cover. Looked good. Not sure how much work they put into it, though.

These kits are FRP right? How is the fitment? Seems hard to find a genuine kit nowadays.

ED is FRP and takes a bit of work for a good fit.

I am about to pick up a ed/duraflex voltex street style bumper. I will post up all the info. But a body shop that does a lot of evos said the ed stuff fits like **** around the headlights and at the fender.

Been in talks with jcmotoring, going forward with theirs, quality looks great and prices arent bad, just a bit more than the ED stuff.

next problem is wheel sizing lol, trying to stay 17s

yeah good choice, a lot of socal evos run their products and I'm sure it doesn't take much to make them fit like original.

Since you'll be widebody you can probably run some 17x10s. RPF1s maybe?

Nice to hear, they are really friendly and answer very thoroughly to my emails.

Yeah 17x10 was what I had in mind just wondering how goofy it might look with such a small wheel, I just always preferred more tire when I had the choice.
