Say goodbye to Wings West
For those of you who don't know, VIS Racing Sports recently bought Wings West. Based on my understanding, VIS intended to allow Wings West to continue operating under their guidance (basically a subdivision of them). However, for whatever reason VIS shutdown Wings West last Friday. I don't know about you all, but I think that Wings West produced some really good products. VIS used to be known for producing shaddy products. I am not sure if their rep has become more positive, but I hope so given the fact that we will no longer be able to purchase Wings West products.

If anyone else has more information on this, please share it.

I don't typically like Wings West products, but the company definitely seemed to be more reputable than VIS Racing.

Does that mean that wings west products should be sold at a higher price since they aren't available anymore?

I second that. Some of their kits weren't the greatest but they certainly contributed to help the import crowd grow.

Sucks there closing down.

Mos def. I've only got one WW product on my car, but I think it's a great product. That's really unfortunate that they're getting shut down.

Where did you here that? I just checked out their website http://www.wingswest.com and it appears to be live and functional. I also Googled Wings West and VIS and came up with nothing. IMO Wings West has the best quality construction out of any other body kit company. It would be a shame to lose them.
