the front looks like an F-4 fighter jet air intake. i like the look.
i'm actually not lovin' the sides but the rear looks good.
pretty nice kit overall.

So you saw this in an Air Force Exchange mag?

Looked up Carus red label on the net and came up blank.

Let me know where to get this kit, I love the front more than the Vertex kit.

I'll be in the minority when I say it's just a bit too sporty for my tastes but nice nontheless.

The reason why you can't find any real info of it online is because the Carus brand has just been introduced 2 editions ago on the VIP Style magazine (which always dishes out the newest stuff for the JDM market by the way). When I first saw it, I thought it was a cross between something for the E-class, the M5 and the Ferrari. A little too "Blackwidow"-ish kit for me. Seems like something you'd put on a Honda....

....but hey, it's always nice to see something new for our aging cars.

I have to agree with Jon.. the front bumper has Euro taste, but the side skirt looks like Veilside K1, and the rear bumper looks like Veilside Executive
