yea i really like the body kit and its at a good price, and yes i know its not the real thing, but im gunna do whats in my budget. as for the fit, it is great as i said, at the bottom it lifts up as tad, but i installed it myself, pretty easy, jus the weather strip was a bit of a pain. every thing else went well

I have the kit... i think on a lighter car it looks better....basically every color but black..

why that it is, is because when you have it on... you could see the car's guts... which is why it looks stupid... in the pictures that gman has posted up... it looks great because the picture of the car doesn't show the guts... just my opinion... i think with a black car everything is darker around the grill and will make the grill look light...

if any of that makes sense

no not at all... i found pics of what i'm trying to say... not on the IS but you'll get the picture....

so pic one of the grill (my favorite by the way)
i hope he doesn't mind me posting





it looks beautiful right?

but for the grill... i personally have the carson grill similar to the one you have found on ebay

but for an example when you could see the guts and stuff like the car below which with the blitz grill or the carson grill you will be able to see it... it doesn't look too good... and when you have a black car... it makes you focus on the grill area even more making it look worse
