actually now i got a bit rubbing in the back, but that's coz' i haven't worked on the rear bumper. before i installed the kits, both front and rear fenders have been modified quite heavily and they was no rubbing unless hitting some very deep dips

I especially like the wheels and the front bumper/grill........not feeling the mesh part on the rear though.
yup, i wasn't sure about the rear mesh too, thought about filling up those as well. but then it would look pretty bland coz' there aren't much creases on it like the stock bumper. good point though

i wonder how much custom fabrication would cost.

we have shops here in the US that could do that, without all the JDM and currency exchange headaches

very nice.. too bad the brake ducts on the front bumper has been filled.. not sure how much it helps but i thought it was a cool update for our new gs's.. this is my favorite kit so far and i hope to get one sometime next year should things go well.. nicely done rominil!

it's not going to be cheap since they charge by hours and their hourly rate racks up pretty fast. i got an estimate before and it wasn't much more beneficial.

for jdm stuff, exchange and shipping rate are the two main issues i guess. i have never had any problem ordering jdm stuff and their ETA are always very predictable. it sux though that now oil price drops so much but shipping does NOT!

ah good that you brought it up. to me actually those 2 triangles were my biggest problem on the bumper, just didn't think they look good so had them filled.

interesting enough, those brake ducts in the front won't really help coz' in order to fit this jdm bumper on our us spec cars, the two air channels at the bottom where it draws air to the brakes, they have to be removed in order to clear (and more parts need to be taken off too). so those ducks wouldn't have been able to do anything at all. as of now, with a few bottom panels removed, actually air will just get sucked in through the middle and go "everywhere"

that sucks a lot of panels and such could not be kept.. i like the fact that our undercarriage seems so dynamic.. ill try to find a way to keep as much stock parts as i can when i get this kit sometime in the near future.. reason being is that my hid ballasts for the fogs are tied around the air ducts... hmm.. im sure ill figure something out whether to cut part of it or whatnot..

oh i am sure you can get it to fit. just think of it this way. us spec cars a lot of times have "longer" front bumper coz' of the crash requirement. so all you need to do is just trim down the ducts front part and it will be no problem. with with the other panels. i didn't want to cut things up that's why i just opted for taking them out.

also the crush foam won't fit as well (unless you want to trim a lot). the crush bar yes you get to keep, but the foam in front is significantly larger than the space allowed

sigh kev, i have no idea you hit on me this much

but seriously. only if you know how much i got this kit for, compared to what i would have paid for one from japan it was a quick call i had to make in days!

haha i am glad that the front doesn't look like JD anymore yup, everything is job design even the front bumper. but you can take a look here at the original one



and you can see what i have modified
