well, in defense of hip hop, if it's free, then it is ALWAYS better than nothing. so props to hip hop for being the brave soul (and getting a free kit to boot). Hip Hop, could you potentially photoshop your car in black? I think it may look brilliant in black, and with an intercooler hanging behind the openings. I have to reverse my previous opinion a bit.

I didn't make a thread asking an opinion. I replied with my opinion to a thread asking my opinion.
If you don't like my opinion, you have every right to disagree. Asking me to "design kits" is outside my expertise. It would be akin to me saying "well if your car is so fast, why don't you race my Supra?" Kinda immature and childish, wouldn't you say? Which also might be a fair criticism of my post. But design a kit? No way. I have no talent for it.

Gross.
L-Finesse is transformed into L-Chupacabra
The original lines and accents on the car are sharp and concise, whereas the lines on this kit are thick, chunky, unrefined and greatly cheapen the look of the car. "Boy Racer" comes to mind
THIS is a nice lip kit.

It's from a Tanabe suspension advertisement, the wheels are SSR (owned by Tanabe) but the lip is from another Japanese company.. let me zoom it up and see if I can get a closer look.
Tanabe doesnt make body kits.
Its an "LX Mode" front lip

Nice, simple, clean stuff

That LX mode Lip isn't bad... but where's the rest of the kit... wish there was side skirts at least.

MikeF3DS - Thank you! Perfect description of what I don't like about the ED kit. And yes, that lip is gorgeous on the car. The center keeps the L finesse theme, and the lines flow into the rest of the front end seamlessly. Very nice.

OutlawsX,
I think the majority of new IS and GS owners prefer very simple minimalist kits on their cars that accent the lines of the car, rather than completely redraw them with a thick black Marks-A-Lot.
There are ~some~ examples of chinese manufactured aero kits that produce something decent, but that kit is obviously an example of the majority that don't and just output some unoriginal, aggressive looking kit molded after some other company or another car.
I dont think companies like <insert internet-startup/chinese-manufactured-company name here> will find much support in this community by outputting something like that and attempting to charge nearly $1300 for a full kit.
