Doesn't matter if they work. Thanks to the F&F movies, everything that doesn't appear to be stock looking tends to get the "rice" comments.

F&F is a movie Fantasy dont take it as serious you can race though the street dodging cars and not get jail time. You can overnight parts from japan and seem to afford to build any kind of car with no concern for money in a matter of a week. If you believe that your the one with issues not the movie. Now on to the body kits Most cant afford the peaces of either kit. on top of that there are alot of people that love the factory body lines nothing wrong with that. but if you dont understand what the peaces do then you could not comment nor call it rice. the problem is companies like bomex or blitz that make off the wall kits and hondas hyundai etc buy them and are all show and no go. Hence this perception of if you have a body kit your dumb and slow . yet if most of them put there cars on a road course like what its made for not a straight line the body kits could improve there times but who am i to judge i just read alot

Ya I don't see how people can Say or call Voltex parts Rice??? Its a purpose built product and company. They are not like a lot of the cheap ebay kits that are just made up and look so ugly and are suppose to look good but don't. + they are cheaply made. Voltex is also pricey for a reason and that is that the products are quality made. I haven't had any fitment issues with mine and I have installed lots of body kits for customers and done body work on cars and 95% of the kits out there need a little to a lot of work and don't always have matching lines with the adjacent parts they are mounting to. POOR QUALITY IS ALL. I personally don't like the look of the c-west front that much and I honestly like the 8 nose chop bumper and stock Evo 9 bumper the best out of any out there. The Voltex front end is close to looking like a 9 front but more aggressive and I kinda like that. But to each his own. and in the end I like what I have and that is the bottom line for me

Overnight parts from Japan really takes about 2-3 days if you are lucky and a lot of money Just saying its possible to get them fast just not overnight unless you have some sort of connection in customs

Again my statement is purely that people that don't understand will ALWAYS judge regardless of their knowledge of testing done by companies or not. They figure it's just rice like every other kit out there.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm just say that is their mentality.

THE POINT IS YOU CANT OVERNIGHT PARTS from japan unless you live there LOL. Hence the beginning of the end of the F&F movie. you know they were casting for F&F5 but suppose to be NSX and all exotic cars its going to bomb as the average person cant relate to that. im thinking another sorry eddie griffin movie with a women wanna be driver that seems to handle a car better then the best drivers in the world.

Damn you are lucky... I had fitment issues on my hood, front fenders, and rear over fenders. Nothing major but wasn't perfect either. The biggest issue is the hood

I don't have the hood so I wouldn't know. I have a Seibon TSII hood and its not the best fitment. I kinda want a different hood but its not on the top of my to do list.

Thanks. While I don't think any hood will ever be as perfect fitment as the factory one, I don't expect it to have 1" gaps all around.

Here is the passenger side... gets tighter up at the windshield.


here is the drivers side... gets much tighter down by the headlight


here is the passenger side... the hood sits higher than the fender


Better pic to show the hood only sits high in the middle while at the headlight, it sits flush. There is no room to make the hood sit lower.



Also, keep in mind. the fenders were matched to the oem hood, also the fenders sit perfect with the headlights so moving the fenders isnt an option. Everything was perfect before I fitted the hood.
