JP Vizage Kit

Hey guys, so i already asked this on CL but for those who don't frequent there, i am also posting my question here. Does anyone have any experience with the JP Vizage kit for the UCF10?
I've been searching for a while and can't find anything. Most of their  other parts seem to fit pretty good on other vehicles, but im looking  for someone with experience on the LS.

This is what i am referring to:

Thanks

My advice, buy real aero.  Not this monstrosity.  Unless you're going for that early 90's vip look...then it's all you.  But really..a company that calls themselves "JP" when they aren't "Junction Produce"...think it.

What's funny is that this kit copies much of the actual JP kit (poorly I must add) and they have a warning about ebay sellers copying their kits...haha.  IRONY.

In actuality, JP Vizage is not really a knock-off of Juntion Produce (JP stands for Japan Product).  As a matter of fact, they manufacture for many OE kits in Japan for the domestic market.  They've been around since the early 70's and are one of a few that make Poly kits in Japan.
 
Hit me up if you need more info on the kit you're looking at.

Im just interested in the fitment and finish(gaps, wavyness, and how well it installs) on this particular kit. Haven't had much luck finding information for it. 
Spoiler can be ignored, i wont be getting that.

It has pretty good reviews for other cars, just no info on this one.

Style copied Mark..not blatant copy.  I didn't say it was a ripoff, but it does look like cardboard imho...lacks style.  It had nothing to do with their OE stuff...I just found it funny.

it just really looks like a photochopped insurance kit....

I think OJAY has that kit right?

lol agree with mike. granted its fiberglass most likely so any body shop can or should be able to fit it. iv had both real n knockoff bumpers on my 240sx my cwest drft fit perfect, my buddys bomex knock off was complete shi*, n my last was a uras style knockoff fitment was pretty good. really is a hit or miss with knockoff kits.

i'd say 90% of the time you're going to have to deal with issues on aftermarket stuff -- just save up a bit more beforehand for bodyshop labor and if the kit doesn't need and finessing, get another set of tires or something haha

Looks like the same kit my boy Ojay has. Insurance copy.

Where in canada are you .. if you are on the west coast it should be easy to get a Kit from Japan that is real ..  VS a replica :biggthumpup:

this. not many kits like this left in production so it's easy to draw similarities to the couple others from the same period.

Im pretty sure the OP asked us if we had experience with the product, not what we think of its looks/our personal feelings.  Keep it classy

ztt, you want to contact a guy by the name of chrisngo, I believe he owned this actual kit and even painted it himself.  Hes based somewhere in socal.

In this case, JP Vizage is in no relation to Junction Produce. JP  Vizage is not a copy of Junction Produce as well. I've actually seen  some JP Vizage kits and they are not as bad as you say. Bottom line its  not my cup of tea as for the style of their kits but it isn't bad also.  Its more of a knockoff from the Insurance kit. 

If I want a kit, I would buy something I like not what other people say I should run.

I was referring mostly to the name.  It is an Insurance knockoff, I knew it was a knockoff of something. I didn't take the time to search it out..but it's a knockoff one in the same.  To support our vendors and the original parts producers, we don't recommend buying knock offs.

Who is the knockoff company? :shrug:

you forgetted blackfleet

to me honestly it looks like a cross breed between the junction produce kit and the insurance

front bumper is spot on, just the fogs are alittle different more like the jp (junct pro) ones

rear only has dual cut outs, insurance has quad

also the insurance kit has this lip indent that runs along the bottom of the lines which is absent on the jp.

Really really close? sure, but a direct knockoff/copy?  I personally dont think so

like i said, the styling is period correct.

See OG, we can agree on something.

And Ron...we're talking about quality.  I mean..there's a couple that look like those but are cast one piece..and cheaply cast at that (because I know you'll be quick to jump in with some other cast wheels by reputable companies, we get it..but do you get it?  Or was that just said in jest?)  Would you put them in the same category?  I highly doubt it.

[QUOTE=elpresidente;386037]See OG, we can agree on something.[/QUOTE]
 
i'm sure that's true, but i don't think this is one of those things. my point is that a lot of kits from this period have similar styling so this can't be called a knock off. as for quality, i can't speak on it cause i haven't touched it but i would expect vizage to at least be on par with the "vip" manufacturers. they're not really in the game like vlene or mode parfume, for example, but i wouldn't put them in the knockoff category either. i say legit product with a large focus vs. a speciallized company.

JP Vizage has one of the best quality as they're one of the few manufactures making the lip/body kits in polyurethane imo. Their fitment is also on point, and they have been in the game for quite some time now. I had JP Vizage about 8 years ago and it was a lip kit for my camry. Top notch quality and fitment.

Yea, i noticed most things they make are in poly, with the exception of the ucf10 kit, which is in FRP. Still thinking about it, but thanks for everyones replies.

Its like a dildo...no matter what shape , color or size i'll still be a dildo. So if you like the kit buy it

Man if you guys think the JP Vizage kit is an Insurance knock off, eyes need to be checked.

I had the kit on my LS.  Fit was good.  Side door panels need a little massaging to get the gaps right.  Rear fit nice, front fit nice.

This is a really BIG kit.  You need to be slammed with aggressive wheels or your car will look like crap.
 
JP Vizage is a good company that's been selling kits in the US forever.

^cosign, if you're trying to pull of this kit, you better be slammed and flushed, or it'll never look right.

Yea id say the front bumper is rhe only thing that "resembles" insurance. The rest is a mix of others imo. And yea its true that most kits for this generation ls... Alotta kits resemble each other

Wish we all could have seen more of that car. I saw a car that is exactly like yours in my Celsior HyperRev. Super cool!

Those older kits are super cool, really shaped me to see what real VIP was way back when. I think JP Vizage is pretty cool for producing a kit like this and having it readily available in the U.S. But again I don't believe it is a copy of any kit really. To the original poster, a buddy of mine bought a JP Vizage kit for his G50 and he didn't have any problems. I think every kit may need some work as they are not all perfect. I am sure guys with really expensive kits from Japan had to do some fitment work as well.

There are a lot of older kits already available (used and new) so you got a lot to choose from.

I'm no one special and I just happen to know the owner of JP USA. I can vouch they are a top notch co. If they weren't I highly doubt they'd be contracted to produce OEM Toyota parts. Not to bash  Junc., but I don't think they do.  JP USA has existed way before JP ( junc. Prod. ). I even remember hearing of JProd. debut IIRC back in early 2000's. So I doubt it's  knockoff. Maybe you guys see similarities but then again, there's not much out there for this chassis to begin with. So doesn't really matter who copied who. They both make quality parts so I think it should be left there.
