Default devils body kit...

my kit finally came in from fetchvip... after about 5months of waiting, here it is...
devils demo car...


and my car...






still gotta sand, grind, etc to make the kit fit better. once thats done ill start body working the whole kit straight as an arrow. gotta order some fogs from devils, and was thinking about the wing also (fogs and wing didnt come with it). was concidering painting my car black, or black with gunmetal bottom, or the new IS red... dont know yet, will seriously concider then that time rolls around... and as for the exhaust, i was gonna weld up some single in/dual out flowmasters or magnaflow mufflers to fill in the exhaust cut outs...

The kit looks awesome. Can we get closeup pictures of the fitment? I'd like to see closer pictures of the sideskirts, as well as how the front bumper fits up top.

Don't go black! Stick with the silver! I have the same color.. it'll look hot And it will be much easier to paint.

How many miles does your car have? And if you don't mind me asking, when it was all said and done, how much did the kit cost you?

The reason I'm asking is becuase my LS is going to hit 200K miles in the next few months.. and I've already spent a good amount of money on it. I'm considering just dumping it and buying a 98-2000 LS and starting my next project with that car.. I know this car will last, but its got a bunch of problems: I only get like 15 mpg, and the car just feels sluggish.

Seeing other people pursuing their 1LS projects is definitely inspiring me.. its great to see!

And again, the car looks sweet. I really like your wheel choice, and I can't wait to see the finished product! More bigger pics would be greatly appreciated!
