So I've been meaning to install a GTR bodykit on my GTT for a few months and finally got around to getting everything organised including new wheels. Now my panel beater is backing out as he's not sure on the fitment from Viva Garage (am willing to pay a little extra for a better fitment, but don't want costs to skyrocket if Viva Garage is crap).

Anyone have experience with Viva Garage here? Just want a nice looking and fitting GTR bodykit :(

ive dealt with them a fair bit. theyre fair on price, from what ive seen of their products theyre not bad (not amazing either). their molding process isnt the best if you were using a genuine kit (ie, they make a mould of a genuine kit you own and then fit afterwards).

is it just fenders you're after? or front and rear bumpers too?

if inspecting them before hand, keep in mind flat surfaces being warped. dark paint makes it stick out like dogs balls or painter will want to spent a lot of time smoothing it out. either way is not ideal.

After the bonnet, front bumper and side skirts. Will be doing fenders and rear bumper later down the track.

It's hard to find a good quality kit, and using genuine GTR parts becomes super expensive and hard to locate. The pictures on their website look fine for the fitment, but in reality of course it can be different :\

Make sure you get all the proper brackets as well to make the front align properly

Contacting DT panels to see if they can fit Viva Garage parts (it looks like they are East Bear replicas) so I just need to change my REO from a Series 2 to a Series 1 as they are for the GTT.

I can just ask now for you

The guy that will probably fit your kit is in my business services team

That's right

people are allowed to blow their money on what ever the f**k they want.

its absolutely none of your business if i want to buy a life sized f**kable manequin that looks exactly like you.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
