there are tons of 'em. are you looking specifically for a lip kit, half bumper, or full bumper? alternatively, what's your price range?

of course I would have to put some money away but I am prepping for next summer since I just bought the car not too long ago haven't really drove it, but I am planning a either lip kit or a full depending on the looks, not looking to do any kit with the fender, not my plan for the lex but with the purchase of the kit and paint 3, to 5 grand....

I will wait on those pics as well, there are aggresive kits then there are the subtle ones, looking for a happy medium. I definitely want something done to the fogs lights, kind of similiar to the picture in this post.

that kit is sXe dont get me wrong but it has some funkyness to it... the rear is a no-no to me and im kinda liking the front bumper and not liking it... but the only thing i REALLY like about it is the skirts!! they really did a good job on that!! is it worth $7500?? hellz no...also on that car BBS is awesome but camber is NOT....and this reminds me, i need to pick up some JDM visors


well anyways, as for body kit options:
auto couture: i feel that its phased out...
ings LX: just doesn't look right to me...
job design: pretty decent imo...
toms: very conservative...
Wald: also conservative, probably safest route...

im sure there's a few more... there are also a lot of lip kits and spoilers out there... look out for copy-cats for these kits ( they usually have poor fitment etc.)

hope this helps a bit...

i tried to cop this kit through sales@kyoei-usa.com and they contacted blow design, however, they came to the conclusion that the shipping costs will be way more than they expected it to be due to the packaging and size. So Originally they calculated it to be about $2300 for the front bumper alone.

mastermind quoted brian and i, i think. might want to try them. this isn't going to be a cheap kit, by any means, and be prepared to wait a longggg time.
