From the pics, it looks like a nice JP replica. I don't know anyone else on the forum who has tried it, so you'd be the guinea pig.

If fitment sucks, let us know! For $99, it's not much of a risk.

If that was the case your front bumper would be all cracked LOL

Poly is the best IMO

If the lip is really low I might have to raise the car up

On their website, it said that JP (Japan Products) Corporation was established in the 70s. The American part (Vizage) was formed in 2002. So it's a combo of JDM + USDM lol? They say that JP is the Japanese part, while Vizage is used to indicate their products. But the way they word it makes it sound like Vizage is the US branch.

Anyways, I think it looks good (not so sure about quality though - you usually get what you pay for).

I'd say get the real thing better, JP Visage is cheaper than most of the kits.

All kidding aside, Phil, if I get this, any recommendations on paint/install shops here in San Diego?
Yo if you need someone to paint it for you, let me know, i'll bring it to my buddy at DTM myself to make sure he gives you the best price. haha most likely my price
