Vicrez Wide Body kit

Has anyone out there bought and/or have experience with the Vicrez 2 series wide body kit?

I really want to get a wide body to fit wider wheels, but also don't want to break my budget.

Never heard of Vicrez, so if you are going rep you can probably find a cheaper one. Thought about it myself, but ultimately its not worth the potentional fitment issues. I'm sure if you have a good body shop they can make it look halfway decent.

Yeah I agree, fitment issues are not worth it.
Do you happen to know of any good budget friendly wide body kits?

I do not I'm in the same boat. Widebodys are rarely budget friendly but even more so with m235i offerings. If you find one let me know I'm on the lookout as well.

They were advertising pretty heavy on social media sometime back. I actually bought their CF diffuser, its an Autoplus copy, but the autoplus group buy fell though, so options were slim.

Either way, the fitment itself is a bit tricky, it fits ok, but they include screws for the CF diffuser to keep it in place.

Some people had issues with it apparently, I had it installed by a shop, and they didn't seem to have an issue.

As for the widebody, that would be a lot of money to attempt to test the quality, but it is in fact a manhart copy.

From my gathering, Vicrez just buys in bulk from China, and sells locally. The only real advantage is you get it in less than a week, rather than a month.

Here is a shot of my diffuser:
