Varis/JDM Build Thread

[Z06Chris]

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 think more air gets to it with the fog moved over to the left. Haven't put the oil cooler on yet but I think it sits to the far right side behind the faux vent.

i have the hks oil cooler. it literally sits right behind the fog light on the varis bumper. (driver side) lol.
i've seen the full varis kit in person.
let me know how it works out once you install the oil cooler and bumper...

Damn. Well it could be months for my bumper and I might even part out at this rate so don't hold your breath lol

Owner reached out. Will see if he comes through.

That's tragic mate... I just got my bumper after waiting almost 12 months (granted I live in a place that's extremely difficult to source JDM parts).

The stress of whether or not I'm being trolled or if the Bumper will arrive in one piece almost got to me at some points. My box arrived on a pallet, fully wrapped and with "Fragile" tags all over, not sure if yours was like that (different country though).

Can't wait to officially have it on the car soon. Good luck with the build, I hope you don't give up and part out.

Zoom Mirror and Defi Gauges on.

I love these clips for running the wires.

Bulletproof Automotive. They'll tell you 4-7mo wait but I think it's more like 1-4 month.

you can get order from any vendor that will sell it to you but it all comes from Bulletproof. They are Varis North America so Bulletproof gets the parts and then distributes it out to any vendor that ordered varis parts.

I think I ask him but I don't know if he replayed or maybe did but not willing to ship., Not sure I asked any post related on FB, I'm waiting on a couple people for reply.

So it's been over 6 weeks since Vivid had my replacement bumper but were waiting for the freight claim to go through before shipping it.
I got sick of waiting and asked for a refund. They refunded me about an hour later. Makes me think there was no replacement bumper and the claims been done for a long time since they instantly refunded me. Maybe they were buying time trying to get a replacement bumper. Who knows. They're so damn shady I honestly have no idea.

I wrote again and finally he's willing to ship !!
Thanks all !

These finally showed up but I'm missing the pads. Each weigh 23 lbs.

Also, an update on the Defi Gauges. They've all got power and the Boost gauge is working perfectly. Waiting on one adapter to come from Amazon Japan tomorrow so I can hook up the Oil Pressure and Oil Temperature sensors.
