Heard they lag a lot (which a lot of companies do when it comes to kits). Some people keep getting excuse after excuse for a couple months, and then finally get it. Anyone hear anything good about them?

Oh I wouldn't personally start a wholesale account with them because quite a few vendors have gotten bad reps because ImportFan (GTP) lags, and then it makes the vendor look bad. Same exact thing with Han. So far, I haven't really heard of any good body kit suppliers. That's why we only sell kits we have in stock or know we can get easily. If you depend on a wholesaler to supply you with what you need, then you'll be taking a risk. It's mainly because popular kits get sold out fast, and not so popular kits are made slowly in small batches so you have to wait.

so basicaly because I am a small business I am f***** in the body kit area. This is realy starting to piss me off. I can get WW and that is all grrrrr. Sorry just trying to get this thing going and nothing is working out.

Ya sorry about that. First off, if you don't buy in large quantities, they will generally charge you a LOT for the same kit. VIS' wholesale pricing structure requires you to buy at least 10k in kits to get the lowest pricing. I don't know what I did with the pricing sheet, but you can maybe try to setup a VIS account even though they lag also. But at least VIS is more well known, so you won't look as bad probably. Good luck.

As far as customer service and lag goes, welcome to the business. Importfan has a lot of lag. (I don't use them anymore) and Han has lag. I was more impressed w/ the kits I got from Han (when I finally got them) as far as quality goes. They weren't as banged up and they are good and thick, I just got dicked around a lot by them. Body kits are a death trap. They are hard to store, hard to ship, and hard to find quality wise. What ends up happening if you don't have it in stock is you order one and it takes 2 months for them to get it to your store. In that two months your customer comes in and wants his money back because you told him two weeks, like they told you when you ordered the kit for him.

EXACTLY, JustOne...well put. Body kits aren't worth selling unless you have it in stock. We have racks and racks of black widow kits because that's what most hondas/acuras buy now. Usually only one or two blitz kits in stock at a time. It seems like DSM owners aren't into body kits as much as civic owners heh.

I think I will just tell anybody that wants a kit to either buy a wings west from me or it is going to be 1-2 months. How much do the VIS kits cost retail I need to order mine soon or I will not have it in time to be ready for carslile.
#12030, "RE: importfan.com good/bad need to know asap" In response to Reply # 10
Dunno about Han's site, but VIS retail is usually 750 for a complete kit. For a while, they never sold kits for anything under 750. $299 was their price for bumpers, and $250 was the lowest they would sell it for retail customers. I think it may be cheaper now.
