The Varis Arising-II kit is growing on me

GaleForce · 12-19-2014, 11:53 AM

Also, if I recall correctly, the venting is functional when all parts are used together. (the front end anyways)

Because this is a forum and I feel like posting my opinion

Everybody got one.

IMO since we are sharing and sharing is caring. I would really dig this kit alot more if the middle of the front bumper was deleted like others have pointed out. Dunno what is going on with all that and it just doesn't flow. Then on the rear bumper clean up the multi vents on the side. I think then it would look really clean.

Kudos to those who spent their hard earned money on this kit. It is definitely different.

Amen

K, well I'll be the first to say that photos do NOT do this bodykit justice. In photos, your eyes are immediately drawn to the "vents" and the bars of the bumper, things that some may see or feel are "tasteless" or "rice".

The things people can't see are:
#1 - The product/quality. Below I took a few photos of the kit being put on. SPOT ON fitment, and materials used? This kit is the FRP version, yet everything black on the kit (bottom of the front bumper, side skirts, full fenders, hood, and rear bottom diffuser) are all made with reinforced ***carbon fiber weave***. The "carbon fiber" version is obviously double sided CF with CF finish on the outside, but it simply blows my mind that they use carbon fiber on the non-carbon fiber version for pure quality and strength.
#2 - The seams and curve of this kit....there's ZERO CHANCE of there being a "replica mold" made of these parts. When examing the skirts closely, all of the bottom splitters are added on separately (expected), but what you DO NOT SEE is that the skirts are seemed together. The skirts were at one time 3 pieces because of the complexity of the vents/functionality. Which brings me right into...
#3 - the vents are 100% functionable. The front opening, intercooler goodness. The outter vents of the front directly feed the filters of the intercooler piping. The side skirts actually funnel air from the wheel well/front of the side skirt, and channel it inside of the side skirt releasing it out half way. I'm BLOWN AWAY by this!! The rear bumper vents actually release air from the rear wheel wells, allowing you to run brake ducts or simply use as is.

The "styling" of this kit may not be for everyone, but for those to jump on here and say "that's a piece of sh/t", or "wow....RICE" obviously have not seen this kit in person, or know anything about it. I just ask you to hold your negativity and keep an open mind until you do actually see one of the few of these kits within the US at a show/meet. You may eat evvvvery single word you have posted on this thread! If not, to each their own I guess .... cheers!

Only a few updated mounted photos of MR. Arrvaxx's progress.

Although a little bit busy, I still like the kit. It is going to a car that has the power and torque to match the wild looks so that's fine (I got to see Arrvaxx car at F.I. before it was picked up). Different if if it is going onto a stock Z. Would like to see how clean their work is by looking at pictures from the back or unfinished side to appreciate how finessed their work really is.

Little sneak peak, shipment included Front, sides, rear, fenders, hood, and rear wing.

ZeroZeta · 12-19-2014, 10:09 PM

I have my bumper sitting at home. So very happy about that. Since it needs to be painted I got thinking about taking the opportunity to wrap my whole car.

So been looking at colors a lot.

Z - is still NA but with the normal mods. Don't have the fundage to go FI atm so will just have to live with a car that looks faster than what it is.

Regarding appearance of the kit - To each their own and I think as we see finished photos of these installs a lot of people will change their minds.

I did not immediately like the Zele kit until I saw all the different color/paint combos people used and saw some builds that I ended up liking.

Quick edit - I second every positive comment about the build quality.

I also wanted to get authentic JDM and couldn't be happier with the purchase or service I got through Bulletproof.

Driftomodachi · 12-19-2014, 11:34 PM

At least some vents are functional. I can live with that. But that's the only reason why.

btimola · 12-20-2014, 03:10 AM

I dont care if the prime minister of japan makes this kit with fiberglass and a pair of chopsticks it looks like crap. Ofcourse that is just my opinion but who needs 50 scoops and vents everywhere? Doesnt flow well at all, its ugly. To each their own but i like hotwheels in small toys not a real 370z. Here you go, flows a bit better than this kit..

I wish Vertex made a kit for the 370z

SNSD YOONA · 12-21-2014, 08:05 PM

That's why I never judge other's mods.

Merry Christmas guys
