The work done was top notch and there was alot of work done to fix problems with the kit. If I would have asked them to fit the rears perfect it could have been done easily but I really don't care since I'm not trying to pass the kit as an original anyway. Judge the work not the kit. The paint is flawless and matches perfect not to mention all the work done to fix the kit. Pictures don't do it justice in person it looks very good. I'm very happy with the work and anyone that has bodywork and paint done there will also be very pleased with the work.
the point of an original is that it is track tested, voltex even does wind tunnel testing. so all you really did was buy fenders big enough for wide wheels and tires. Doesn't really make sense, why not spend the extra cash for something that is designed for the track?

For my purpose I didn't see the reason to spend the extra cash for a kit that might just ge trashed at the track. The money factor didn't even play into my decision. With the amount of money I've already spent on the car $2k-$3k extra means nothing. Not to mention I'm very busy with work so I'm looking to have fun out on the track, maybe even run some events when I have the time. Plus I think any real gains that the original kit might give over a replica kit might be noticed with top teams but with the average person out at the track I don't think it will matter. I guess some people might think differently and that's fine but I'm happy with it.

But let's get on topic, the thread is about the work done and the service they provide not why the car has what it has.

The point of having an original is kit is let people know how much money you have in your pocket while eating cup noodles for lunch.

On topic - work looks really good. Where did you get the replica kit? PM me. I can't afford the real Voltex but I for sure can afford to feed my family well, provide a good home and pay the bills which are far more important than my car.

read garys comment dont go there cause your getting to into the comment. If i did not like paying money i would not have a fully built Longblock and a expensive fp black or a custom 1 of a kind Garage HRS Splitter. My car would be full of ebay everything and anything 4th party(yes not 3rd lol) i could get. If it does not fit ill make it fit attitude LOL

BINGO!!!! i dont mind if you paid 7k for the full voltex kit or you paid 2500 for a replica(pending if its good) Car is going to end up looking the same. Long as you dont try to pass it off as real. thats lame but Gary knows my mindset long as it gets the job done im cool. Now dont get it twisted i do spend money on 1 off parts and all my engine mods to do it right first time.
