that's a photoshop of the body kit on the car as well. with all kits, even ones made in japan, they will always need some work (albeit the Japanese ones fit better needing less work).
generally duraflex is a bit more durable than straight fiberglass.

Yeah I'm very familiar with all the big name kits for the car like Junction produce, aimgain, wald, k-break, etc. I was just curious what this actually looks like.

looks good, but unsure how much work it took to make it fit. ask the owner perhaps on his IG?

direct fit apparently. it's not a complete flush fitment but it still mounts up properly

To each their own I guess. Idk. I kinda like it. It's a big middle finger to the VIP enthusiasts who plummet their credit scores to get the next best body kit or those who spend an unruly amount of cash to make their car look good.

looks is always subjective. most aftermarket kits for 95-97 almost always omit the turn signals forcing you to use old school hand signals, or convert your corner lights into signals (in japan corner lights use 1156 dual filament bulbs, we get weak 194 but you can fit a much brighter 921 in there like I do).
