Quick Question about Varis Widebody Kit...

In total, how much would i be looking at for the Varis kit? With paint and instillation, my Fr-S is black and the pieces come black, but in total? Thanks, also im looking at ML24 as well, so suggestions welcome. Rocket Bunny and Lux Motion is to much for me and the last thing I want to do is cut fenders

rocket bunny is too much and you want the varis widebody? I would reconsider before you even see the price for the Varis kit.

Rocket bunny is too much in terms of the rivets and placement. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I like Varis, the vents, the shaping of it, everything. I've seen the prices on BP auto thread, and I would go with kit A. which is 6k w/o shipping i think.

My guestimate is probably on the high end, but if you are looking for quality work either way it wont be cheap.

Varis Kit takes like 2 months to get here as well. Then body work with paint, I would say about 4 grand cause it has so many technical pieces. You pretty much repaint ur WHOLE CAR

A kit (all FRP with no Front Diffuser) cost of kit + install and paint comes to roughly $10k
D kit (all the Carbon bits with dry carbon front diffuser) cost of kit + install and paint comes to roughly $14k

Typical non-widebody Arising 2 Carbon kit + install and paint comes to roughly $7000

you're an idiot if you think you can run any widebody without cutting fenders. and if you think raw frp black would save you money because your car is black. $10k kit, plus paint and install would cost way more than rb kit, paint, install, revert back by putting new quarter panels back.

I'd have to agree with the $10k+ figure. The Varis kit is by far the most expensive wide body currently for the twins, especially if it's sourced from BP Auto (i.e. you'll get raped on pricing from them, not to mention they're customer service is really snooty).

The reason for cutting the fenders is for wheel clearance/travel. Please do everyone a favor and don't do a wide body car that isn't lowered/rally car high. It's a serious shame to see Rocket Bunny kits on cars that haven't even been lowered even the slightest.

If you think you can cheap out on a widebody bodykit, you're gonna have a bad time.

Personally I think that for the money, the ML24 kit is the way to go. IMO the ML24 products are the perfect balance of high tech aero look of the Varis and the 'because race car' look of the RB
