What kind of material is FRP??? I read that in VIP magazine and don't know what that is. I think Junction Produce kit made from two kinds of materials: FRP & carbon(if I read Japanese katagana correctly) with is cost more than FRP........right???

If you want the attention, the wide body, for a more conservative look, the Evolution...I'd pick the Evolution.

FRP - Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic.....

yes, we do have kits in 2 different materials. FRP and Carbon Fiber. In the Junction Produce Sports line, they also add Carbon Kevlar...

I voted black but they both suck. The kit on the yellow one is so nasty.

The black one looks better overall but the color is too dull. And on both, the lower air dams are too close to the ground...there is not enough clearance over bumps.

If you could take yourself seriously with a car like that, I'd reccomend the kit the black car's wearing.

I'm not really a huge fan of the VIP styled cars, but how is a huge, ugly bodykit VIP? I would think additional interior luxury would be more suited for a "Very Important Person".

Since you asked, to me they both look terrible. The black one looks silly with the front lips and side skirts poking out like that and the yellow one looks like something from fast and furious or mad max.

But hey your opinion is the one that counts

Wow talk about old thread. The LS is getting no attention whatsoever from me. Hell I havent detailed it for about 9 months. The SC is my baby now. Dont plan on gettin a kit for the LS anytime soon.
