Depends on the shop you go to....
But basically I think all they will have to do is change all the mounts and maybe some cutting, that's it.

i met a guy at the NOPI nationals this year who did this... and he recommended not doing it. In his own words "for the money, you might as well get something from japan". lots of fiberglass work has to be done, and unless done well... it can be damaged easily.

look into kits from japan... they are costly... but they won't be that much more than having a camry kit put on the right way.

i agree about the Tsunami kit (sorry guys)... it's a little too aggressive for the ES IMO.

I notice you're from GA moreM2... what part? I'm in kennesaw

I would be more than willing to show you some JDM kits and put you in contact with people who can get you them.

*edit*

do you have AIM?

ridiculous prices... seems to me like they're getting it at the normal prices... then jacking it up a few hundred bucks. By what they're saying the full kit i want would be like 3000+ bucks. When I talked to someone in japan who said he could have it on my door sill for 1400.

They won't make money if they continue to keep those prices.
