Yea, kinda defeats the purpose of having this kit if almost EVERYONE is gonna have it. I'll be looking into another lip kit from Japan or a full bumper replacement. On the bright side of things I get to play with the my GS again while working on the LS as well

 

Yeah, it sucks for those that got the kit when it first came out. I guess you have to think of it as the price of exclusivity. Then again its like anything else, rims, cars, mods, phones, clothes, shoes etc, you can only be the new kid on the block with it for so long before everyone and their mom has one.

 

but how many people have this lip kit near you? i could care less if X amount of people have the kit. I rarely see a 3GS in my area, let alone a modded one.

 

Yep you are correct, to be honest it does not matter how may people have it. At this price who cares. The CL family can get a quality kit for a steal.

 

damn skippy

 

lol, this is exactly the effect of huge price drop and marketing

maying856, there are still some kits from japan that hardly anyone here has

 

One downside is that MOST of these JDM (original) kits are made of FRP.

If in not mistaken, there is only a few kits out there(aside from CarsonTuned) made of polyurethane.

Looking at maying's drop height(or any other slammed autos)- i would stay away from anything FRP especially for the front lip.

*considering the quality, fit, and poly front/rear material- IMO, this kit deal is just INSANE!!

 

seriously. i was really considering the JD kit, but for the difference in price, i can paint my whole car if i choose to. ordered the kit earlier today...

 

Its all good, I've already narrrowed it down to 3 kits, I guess well just have to wait and see

 

There is nothing wrong with FRP. It's all in the way you drive. Mine would still be perfect if I didn't kiss the parking block but it's not too bad. Barely noticable unless you know what your looking for.

 

Toms front bumper replacement. I would love to get that!

 

I got a call from Carson. They are about two days behind in shipping orders. Their rep site said sometimes their shipping method defaults to Next Day, that is why some of us might have been charged 85.00 for shipping. I changed to ground and shipping was 45.00.

 

CHANCE AND RYAN... BUY IT!!!! damn im thinking about picking it up too!!! LOL!!

 

hope this thread helped some members out.. GL guys..

 

really depends on how you see it. frp is still flexible to certain extend, it's not pure fiber glass where there is next to no flexibility.

and most importantly, frp is very repairable. it's so easily to repair frp, i cracked my body kits before and i repaired myself.

but polyurethane, although seems more flexible, but they are usually a lot heavier, and they can still crack or break. and if that happens, it will be a complete pain to repair it. in fact a lot of shops don't have the right ability to repair them too
