Thanks for the info, Flipside. The owners' cars still look nice, though. I remember I had that same issue before when I had the L-sportline kit on my IS300. I spent so much additional money in order to get the kit to fit properly and even then, there were still small issues that just annoyed me. So hard to find a manufacturer that can fabricate parts like OEM.

uniqueness comes with a price. try to come up with something original of your own and I'm sure others will want one too.

that kit looks like a carbon replica molded from another kit, in fact, i'm sure it is...if you look at the kits posted in cl i'm sure u can find one exactly like it...i dont believe it to be original in design but it is nice in carbon...

i have the fabulous kit and i know it comes in carbon...of course it is from fabulous too =P

Come on guys, take your one on one convos to PM.

Back to the topic....as a matter of fact, the c/f kit is a copy. It is a one off of an original FRP prototype which will both versions will eventually become for sale at a later date. As a matter of fact, it was designed by one of our own CL moderators who I will not name. This person has designed several other body kits for different manufacturers. The most recent one was a wide body kit displayed at SEMA last year...it was a Civic coupe.

Here is the same car at EOS v.4, 2 years ago at Stevens Creek Lexus.

Here are the gallery of photos from that meet: http://www.palmphotography.com/palm_motorsports.htm
