ViS body kit quality?

[Jeff240sx]

Ok guys.  I like to do my homework before I spend lotsa $$$ on upgrades.
My insurance sent me a check for $500 for the factory bumper.
I found a Bomex bumper for $499 shipped, after tax.  I kinda wanted to save a little more money to help with the deductible, but anyway...
The shop also said they have a "knockoff" in stock, made by ViS racing.  It was $250 shipped.
Is there that big of a quality difference in Vis stuff?  I have heard nothing but bad things from knockoffs like Erebuni, but not too much about Vis.
So.. what do you guys think?  $499 for a Bomex, or $250 for a Vis?

Here's the breakdown:
Bomex = Real bodykit

VIS=Knockoff bodykits

You really do get what you pay for with body kits... I dunno if the VIS kit you're looking at is FG or Urethane, but for FG, the knockoffs are copies (literally, what happens what you make a copy of a copy of a copy on a xerox machine? same principal). The cheaper companies also don't let the FG set as long before removing it from the mold and it loses a little of it's shape (just enough to make it not want to fit right)

A strut bar is a strut bar, but you get what you pay for with bodykits.

well the term you get what you pay for comes into the picture here..  VIS makes knock offs of bomex stuff now?.. whoa..  didnt know that

Yea, not only Bomex, but also Mugen, Veilside, Feels, Do-Luck, Nismo, Edge, Zeal, C-West, etc.
