Default thoughts on a body kit?

i recently purchased my 2012 and im thinking of importing a body kit (never really been fans of body kits but i think the ct200h has some good options)

I've found the black bison, the aimgain, and i think its called a TOM or modellsta, anyone know of any others?

anyone on here have any kits and what do you think of them?

Take a look at the 2014 front bumper.
You can swap that on as well!

If you do the 2014/2015 F-Sport Bumper swaps, then TRD would also be an option.

Unless it's OEM, I wouldn't bother. Aftermarket body kits tend to look great at first, but they deteriorate quickly and they are not nearly as sturdy as the OEM stuff.
The upside is that you can store your OEM stuff and when you go to sell it, just put the OEM parts back on and it'll look great.

You must be referring to eBay kits or cheapo brands. Tom's, Aimgain, Modellista and Wald International are quality pieces. Also, Modellista's majority share holder is Toyota and TRD so that's that.
