Question Body Kits, Fenders, and Hoods

I need some help trying to find some nice bodykits, fenders and hoods for my 92 Ls. i see alot of nice ones on the Ls and Celsior pics that i like but don't know where to preview them for pricing. i've found alot of bodykits but look too plain without fenders. WideLS found some nice ones to put on his Erebuni and made it look real nice and different. the only one i was able to find with the bodykit, skirts, and fenders was from Vizage but i don't want it to be my only option.

Thanks-

Hey RacerX, I got your e-mail, I will see what I can find for you when I get the time.

The only real JDM widebodykit i can find with you is Admirations Blister.

Evolution makes a nice fender flares for the LS

I think its called the Evolution Exclusive V3 Wide, the Blister kits looks nice as well, but not my style.

Anybody know of a carbon fiber hood for our LS' (90-94)? I bet that would save alot of weight and save alot of money on replacing those tired hood shocks....hehe

I guess if I want a carbon hood, I will have to sacrifice my stock one for prototype and mold.

Gotta ask BodykitsNW if they are willing to do it.

Just my opinion, but I don't think a CF hood would look right on an LS. Even for performance purposes...say it's lighter...the car's still gonna be slow no matter what...unless you plan on going FI.

A lighter car still makes sense than a heavier car. No matter what type of performance you like Forced Induction or All Motor or even if its only for show. The weight savings of a carbon hood will save alot of weight anyways.

That is the AB-Flug hood, but I do not know if they still make body parts for the LS.

I've looked every where for a hood scoop for an LS, but I don't think there is one. I know a shop that is willing to mold a universal scoop on my hood but i'm still debating weather or not I should do it. I like that scoop on that Celsior, but the question is what happens when it rains, because it looks like the water might go into the engine.
