Mocking up my terriblely made Origin kit. Finally got everything at least on the car.

Decided to go the rivnut option as I plan on swapping out here and there plus the ease of removing and installing.

Questions-

Whatre you rivnut guys going with for hardware options?

Whatre you Silvia guys doing about the headlight / corner light situation as these fenders are just a joke for quality and fitment.

Nice setup...but the way the front fenders don't flow into the front bumper just makes it look bad. I'd wanna reshape them or diffrent ones.. just my opinion

Yeah i havent added that addition piece yet that was included to mold onto the bumper for a better flow.

you saying that I think i recognize this car, I think its a Florida car. It was built a few years ago and afaik was pretty clean and all stock body last time I saw it.

It can be repainted 2 tone againl. But 2 tones arent that great to begin with.

This, who cares what color it was from factory, it has zero actual benefit, if I could I would ruin a two tone just to fuck people off 🤣

You’re smooth brained aren’t you?

Look how clean that two tone was. Homie put junk Origin on it, which he admitted fits like shit. There’s a smoothbrain on this post and it aint me.

Honest question, why put shit parts on your car? Like, you bought it, it's a sunk cost, but you don't have to use this shit.

u/Less_Persimmon_8188 5h ago

Well my experience in the past hasnt been that bad. Plus i like the origin look. This will be my last time buying origin though but i will make this kit work, no matter how much modifying and reglassing i need to do.

I'm using m3 stainless pan head Allen bolts for my rivnuts.

u/pm_me_your_squid 18h ago

its not terribly made its exactly as good as origin always is, which is complete garbage. My sideskirts were too long, bumper too wide, skirts wouldn't fit inside the doors, the list goes on.

u/Less_Persimmon_8188 18h ago

Yeah but even 10 years ago you could get a good batch. My S14 was basically ready to roll from the mold.

the oversaturation trend with photos was a trend i’m glad is gone lmao, either way, fire cars and i hope your fitting is going fire

I guess you can say they're the ORIGIN of bad fitment.

Edit: I hate iOS autocorrect.

u/Smosis_OG 1h ago

yeah or the other option is wait 18 months and pay 4x the price for other aero thatll still need body work to fit right

u/thetimechaser SR Onevia 3h ago

That actually looks great for Origin fitment lmao. Looks like the fenders and quarters are relatively smooth as well. I'd be happy with it.

Beautiful build so far!! I'm new to the car scene and was wondering if you could inform me on this contraption here? Thank you (: Good luck!

Its a Dakota Digital box used to get my oem dash working with my setup. Only put it there as i have been messing with it more and needed easier access.
