Dunno what the hell happend with that reply haha

[34GeeTeeTee]

Yeah it was pretty ordinary LOL

Thats what i was worried about with the bigger front bar, anyway i have heaps to spend on the car before i even look at cosmetics.... I am a fan of look but it would all need to be done properly which money does not allow for now

Where can someone buy the ursas kit for a sedan?

Im only interested in the front bar and bonnet lip. Do they fit to stock fenders?

I'm also running a s2 sedan (with the ugly front bar) will it be a problem at all fitting?

The genuine one from URAS will fit S2 sedan.

Bought the viva garage version

Very poor fit

Over 15mm out all round

Don't waste your time or money

[gtsttrk]

Viva Garage is hit and miss, some is good while some is plain crap. But what would you expect?

Basically all 'copy' kits will require trimming, fitting and modifying to fit. Some more than others. There's been heaps of threads on it, but unless you're going to import a genuine kit than don't expect it to be an off the shelf fit, even of someone else's was.

[mrgtst1979]

I have purchased kits from justjap in the past and no modification was required

Viva garage just sell rubbish

Do u work for them? Cause it sounds like it

[alex182]

doesn't sound like he works there at all. that man speaketh the truth.

the fibreglass copies have huge amounts of play in them. if anything you should expect them not to fit and require modification.

atleast yours was 15mm over and not under. easier to just trim off the ends than to cut the middle and re-bond

Don't know what you're issue is with what I said. Sounds like you're after OEM fitment but don't want to pay up for it.

[mrgtst1979]

No

I didn't pay $50 for the front bar that's paper thin and doesnt fit

I paid $400 and it's useless

Just warning others not to purchase from viva garage as the sell rubbish and offer no support

[gtsttrk]

Yeah but mate look at the difference in price, Jetspeed, Viva Garage, Carmate all these places are fibreglass copies that retail for what? Anywhere between say 250-450ish. For replica bars, lets now take a look at the cost of a GENUINE bar:

DO-Luck front bar for a GTST:A$ 1,081.08 (before shipping)

Jun Aero front bar for a GTST:A$ 1,226.76 (before shipping)

BN full kit for a GTST: A$ 2,350 (before shipping)

Full DO-Luck kit: A$ 2,883.78 (BS)

I'm not trying to get into a massive debate with you here, but I think you'll find you've either underestimated the cost of the real items vs the cost of replica items, or you've simply got your head in the sand. I've had a Jetspeed front bar, as well as Viva Garage and to be honest I reckon that the VG items were of equal quality to the Jetspeed bar (Melbourne). Both these items required trimming and a bet of prep work to get them to fit but I expected that and that's what goes with using 'off the shelf/replica' items. It's no different to people who use Chinese manifolds/freddy plenums etc and then wonder why they're not a true 'direct bolt-on' replacement.

Was looking at getting a viva garage front bumper but from the feedback ive decided to look into getting the URAS one off nengun.

Just curious how much does it cost to paint and fit a front bumper?

$500-$2,000

Have you tried using yellow pages and the like to contact your local body repair shops?
