man thats a nice looking kit, i can't wait to see what other kits they bring out for the 3rd Gen Gs. yes, it have the rear end of an Ls but i think thats one of the things that make the LS so sexy. so if u thinking about getting it i think its a thumbs up. hell, i might have to get me a 3rd Gen just to get that kit lol

that entire setup looks alot like that white GS that was at the Holiday Meet last week. They reping the same rims / LS bumper / and the black grill. Always thought that kit was the Evix Concept kit?

ummm, let's see..... i have never heard of this company before, vip edition. it's based in the US (CA), that's a first flag.

looking at the rear bumper, it looks very much like the evix

looking at the front, it looks awfully like the aimgain euro

i didn't even bother to go look up the sides

are they copying others' body kits and snap their name on there?

It looks great. I think the famous whit GS with the 22's is wearing parts from this kit. I think its gorgeous. IMO It doesnt need to be from japan to be a nice quality body kit. What looks nice, looks nice

I think what rally sets the kit off is the exhaust tips coming out of the rear bumper. I am not that into the sides.
