Default vizage trans am

from what i see so far i like the vizage kit that jp usa just came out with for our 98+ trans ams. But all ive seen so far is the front 3/4 computer generated veiw. www.octanemotorsports.com has it but they list it as a 3 peice kit. But when you go to vizage's homepage(which i cant find) they list it as a four peice kit.Does this kit include the rear skirt like all other cars? does anyone have any pics of this kit on an actual car?from different veiws?

I forgot about the vizage T/A kit. I could have sworn that this kit was released already. I'd like to see some better pics as well.

Probably because the general consensus here is that body kits are tacky. That and anything that isnt a polyurethane kit doesn't last more than 100 miles without getting cracked. I personally think some of the kits look good. But most of them are just hideous IMO.

The body kit is not released yet. I know because mine was used for the molds. The first kit available will be fitted to my car for photos. When the pics are done i may sell the kit. Need to figure that one out though.

yep its true.I called octanemotorsports today you can purchase and order them but the first ones wont be out till august. That explains a lot.I got confused cause their site said "will release july 1st" and the next time i got on there it said "this was added to our catologue may 16" or something. And yes, it is a 4 peice kit.im excited about it i want one now

Let me know how you really feel.
The chance to get my car in the back of magazines was worth it.
The main goal behind my letting JP use my car was to give the LS1 tech
sponsors who helped me get some Ad. time.

The part that turns me off about it is the addition of more useless holes. And it doesn't flow very well eigther. It looks like a cluttered, dirty room that needs cleaning.

I wish there was a kit that had a front bumper cover that cleaned up the front end a bit while still keeping the fog lights.
