Default 2001 LS430 suggestion on body kit

Hi I am from Hong Kong, and I am thinking of modifying the body style look like the below link.
Can anyone give suggestion where I could start, example which body kit brand to order, as I couldn't find any body kit look similar like the below link. And approximately how much it would cost me to modify the body look like the below link, I just want the car look more cool and young, really thanks.

That is a pretty sweet kit. But I don't like the way it's slammed on the ground. I don't have experience with kits.


But here's a link that might give you some help.

Good luck.

If you want that look you're going to need to find a good body shop. There is a lot more to that car than a kit. Extensive work on the fenders and trunk lid. Also pretty sure that kit isnt an off the shelf affair. Another thing to note is you have a before MC model 01-03 which there are not a whole lot of real aggressive kits for. The after MC 04-06 have a much wider selection of aggressive kits. I would look around and find a good body shop that knows what they are doing. Then I would find a kit that is close to what your final vision of the car is and have them mod it to your liking.
