Route KS body kit

[stevecct]

Hi NSX dude,
I am planning to buy the Route KS R GT Body kit + hood (maybe the roof scoop as well).
Anyone can share the experience of their products? I am a little bit worry about the fitment issue.
Thank you so much!

Have you tried contacting them? They have been non-responsive to my emails, even direct from Japan (in Japanese).

My buddy originally bought the Route KS RGT front bumper thinking they were made in the same factory as the authentic Spoon RGT bumper (with the route KS RGT bumper being a bit lower cost) and they definitely aren't. The Route KS bumper is quite different. The mold was different and the quality was not very good. He sold that one and got the authentic Spoon RGT bumper and it's WAYYYY nicer quality. I was very impressed by the Spoon bumper. It appears to be manufactured by a higher end factory and the fitment is spot on. (The Spoon rear bumper fitment was spot on as well).

I don't have any pics of the Route KS RGT bumper on hand (I'll have to dig through my phone) but you can see the nice quality of the Spoon RGT front bumper in this video:

Sigh, it’s coming this year hopefully hahah….he wanted me to wait until he’s done to release all the videos in a series..but also he’s just taking a long time so there hasn’t been much progress. It’s supposed to go to paint soon which is the biggest hurdle but we‘ll see

Route KS has been going through some production issues. A lot of their products are in discontinued status.

The rumor is that the factory that they used for manufacturing shut down. Though we're not sure how much of this is true.

I knew some of their products are no longer available……

I’ll finish my car soon… I hope…. The Route Ks one was definitely a different shape and also from a different mold than the authentic spoon one. It’s substantially less also so if you are willing to do some fitting and blocking I’m sure you could get it to look nice but I would just say get the authentic spoon kit if you can. I’m confident Spoon had access to the authentic Honda RGT bumper to make their kit after looking at it up close it’s a really nice part.
