Everything looks good except the fender vents behind the front wheels. They look out of place and out of scale with the rest of the car.

Thumbs up

W W ! That looks good, perfect color too.
I like those rims too, but maybe not my first choice.

Are you getting this pvo?

I think romy101 needs to see this. He's pondering about this over the m45.

I'm still thinking about it. It's around $2200. The wait time could be up to 10 weeks.

I was actually only looking for a front lip and ran into that kit.

If I want to buy a kit for my 98 it's going to cost twice that. I don't know why, I would think it would be cheaper since it's older.

to be honest i think that's very cheap considering the price of the car

It is for a $60,000+ car, $2200 should be along the lines of something for mine.

Well the demand isn't high. Not alot of people make bodykits for the 98-00 LS because that was a year they didn't sell as many. And plus not alot of younger people drive one of these.

...............

It's the special order kit; therefore, the price and wait time is about right Your PM has been replied

Why not try our Amistad Kit with 3 advantages:
1. Less price
2. Great quality - ABS (far better than fiberglass)
3. Wait time as short as 3 weeks

Since you got Amistad Type R Wheels already, why not get a FULL Conversion of Amistad Celsior with our newly developed:
Euro-style Front Grill / LED Side Mirrors / Illuminated "Celsior" Door Sill

Not too fond of those wheels. I'd like it if it had Chrome 5 spokes on it.
