Yup...you might want to check out the backview before you decide on this kit...some people do not like the "lip" that goes all the way around the back bumper (even up the exhaust cutouts).
The kit's price isn't too bad...most stores in Japan will sell the kit for $2300 to $2400 (at the current exhange rate of 1 USD = 124.294 JPY)...for the front bumper, side skirt, and rear bumper...
FULL retail in $3057. Don't pay more than full retail...because if you plan a few months ahead, you can buy tickes to Toyko for just under $800 ROUND TRIP ($781 according to Expedia)...now add $2300 for the kit and for around $3100, you can actually GO to Japan, pick the kit you want (and pick up any other cool JDM items), do some sight seeing, and come back with the Kit for just over retail...something to think about...(you'll have to check in the items as a "bulky" item though...but that usually doesn't cost anything...definitely not a carry-on...and I don't think customs would even bother charging you if it's just one kit for personal use...even if they do, it's like less than 2%...just say you paid $1000 for the kit...you'll pay $20...)

Is there like a website that lists ALL of the body kits AND/OR front bumpers available for the GS?
You guys seem to know of just about every kit out there, how? A catalog maybe?

Nano,
the site that has the most kits would be www.gtautosports.com
or, there is a book,aka, the bible, title hyper rev #? that is published in japan which shows all the major tuner in japan for each specific model of car. for example, there is one for the aristo, one for altezza....etc.
there are few japanese book stores here in LA sells them for ~$35 i think.
