I finally pulled the trigger on the hood thanks to viewing this thread so much. Did you have to order the rain guard separate or did it come with your order?
It comes with it pre-installed with the 5 bolts.

Purchases through Vivid Racing. Call and ask for Tyler or message him on the boards here under 'Vivid Racing'. Everything gets drop shipped through Bulletproof Automotive but they don't offer the best prices themselves. It's a bit strange.

From reading on here, some have needed work for better fitment.
Mine fit perfectly. I didnt use sikaflex though so they stick out a tiny 1-2mm than they should due to the 3m tape.

Looks like the build has come to a halt.

Vivid told me they acquired another bumper for me the same day this bumper was delivered damaged. Sounds great right??? BUT they won't ship it out until they either get paid out by their freight company's insurance for the first one or if I PAY AGAIN for the 2nd bumper.

No way I'm paying for a 2nd bumper when I haven't gotten the first one yet.

I looked into XPO Logistics' claim procedure and it says Vivid has 90 days to file the claim. XPO logistics then has 120 days to come to a decision and pay out or not pay out. I'm not sure what Vivid expects me to do if XPO refuses to pay them out when that's the carrier they picked...

So am I supposed to sit around for possibly 1 to 7 months?
We'll see how long my patience can last...

Varis Widebody Teaser

  • Driving with that lip will be rough
  • Fender - vent placement and style is just ok. Z-Tune style corner vent just opens up to the mirror
  • Rear doors will be awkward pulling a giant flap of widebody with it
  • Rear quarter panel wide body seems out of place. Wish it looked like the STI/R35/FRS style and not just bulging out so rounded.

LTL Freight companies when it comes to claims will drag it out as best as they can to try not to payout a claim. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully Vivid is smart enough to insure the cargo when they loaded onto the truck.

HKS Oil Cooler...i wonder how that will work out given the fog lights on the Varis bumper are kind of blocking the area where air needs to go into the oil cooler. thoughts? OEM bumber the fogs are on the outside but Varis chose to go inside..hmmmm....

i have an HKS DP if anyone is interested :). In case you ask, I LOVED the HKS downpipe but since my Rampage Turbo Kit came with one I had to replace it.
