I can guarantee you there isn't going to much difference compare to stock. All the rear is replacing is the stock bottom black plastic and the profile is pretty much identical to OEM just slightly lower.

Here is a pic.

Thanks for the clarification xpandabl3. The rear looks really nice with those GS like exhaust endings, gives it an extra sporty-luxury look.

I guess it's completely up to your own taste. I got them in CF so I'm leaving them in CF finish.

I'm surprised no one likes the Type II. I was thinking of going with those...

The type II is more aggressive and sporty but the cost of purchasing the muffler along with the kit makes it a bit more prohibitive as compared to the type I

Finishing touches , should be done by this weekend

I thought you don't need to change the exhaust even with Type II?

Your car looks nice. Do you have some more pictures of the deck spoiler from different angles? Profile and top ect...

Did you get the roof spoiler too?

Just for whoever still looking for the official price, here's a shot from their 2014 brochure from Tokyo Auto Salon.
