man thats a nice looking kit, i can't wait to see what other kits they bring out for the 3rd Gen Gs. yes, it have the rear end of an Ls but i think thats one of the things that make the LS so sexy. so if u thinking about getting it i think its a thumbs up. hell, i might have to get me a 3rd Gen just to get that kit lol

that entire setup looks alot like that white GS that was at the Holiday Meet last week. They reping the same rims / LS bumper / and the black grill. Always thought that kit was the Evix Concept kit?

ummm, let's see..... i have never heard of this company before, vip edition. it's based in the US (CA), that's a first flag.

looking at the rear bumper, it looks very much like the evix

looking at the front, it looks awfully like the aimgain euro

i didn't even bother to go look up the sides

are they copying others' body kits and snap their name on there?

It looks great. I think the famous whit GS with the 22's is wearing parts from this kit. I think its gorgeous. IMO It doesnt need to be from japan to be a nice quality body kit. What looks nice, looks nice

sure, please post more info. it's even harder to imagine aimgain copying other people, considering that their kit came out since the very beginning if i recall right

I think what rally sets the kit off is the exhaust tips coming out of the rear bumper. I am not that into the sides.
