Default 2003 GS Bodykit Question

Would bodykits be ready in the spring of 2003 for a 2003 GS or would the 2001-2002 kits work on it? What about coilovers also? I am not sure how much things change from year to year here.

As far as I know, everything that works with the '98 - '02 models should still work on the '03. Supposedly the new gen will show up as an '04 model

Any kit that is made for the 1998 (GS400/300/430) to present will fit the car...However be carefull in what you buy...the first kit that I bought I had to take the impact beams front and rear off to fit it on...bad choice...if I were to get hit my insurance wouldn't cover it cuz I took those off....what I am trien to say is ask questions first...I found out the hard way

It's not the foam...it is the metal peice behind the foam...that is what stops the other car from doing damage to the frame when you get hit...the carisma is the one that i know of...a few other "knock offs" do this also...sorry to confuse you...
