let me ask my wife when i get home and i'll see if i can't get some translated stuff going for all of the common parts listed plus column translations. i was hoping for someone else to jump in with a translation before i actually get home from work so i don't have to explain to my wife why???

i'm always blown away at seeing the prices for the parts from japan. the only thing i could figure is that osaka the number 2 city in japan and like the 2nd most expensive city in the world to live in (tokyo was number 1) where these cars (complete celsiors & complete lexus's) seem to be in the most abundance of any city in the entire world, well the average job over there pays like 2 times well at least 1.5 times what the same job in NYC would pay so yeah its not a thang for some folks to drop like 10k on their car when they're making 150k a year. plus the cars themselves are a good deal cheaper, or were until 07 at least when lex started selling actual lex branded vehicles and not just toyotas.

on a side note that car above which all these prices are for would be a fairly common looking car rolling down a popular street in osaka (kansai district). i was always completely amazed at all the expensive kitted up cars rolling around over there like its not a thing at all. half of them have the 8 license plates, like 88 88 or just one single 8 on the plate. there are a lot of these cars rolling around with these 8 plates and they sort of signify 893 or yakuza rather... my wife always tells me not to stare but whatever i just give them the nod and tell them nice car if they catch me starring to hard. its really open over there about certain affiliations.

so ur basically at like 4150$ just for the body kit (front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts) trunk spoiler lip thing, rear window upper spoiler lip thing, and side mirrors... no shipping added so probably like 4500 then you factor in painting and installation and you'd be lucky to get it done for a cool 5k, then you need the wheels and the drop (suspension), tint, and a hot asian chick to sit shot gun (priceless)

so 5k (above) + wheels 4k + drop 3k and that is 12k right there. add 1k for fenders and 1.7k for exhaust system 15k.. what about stereo stuff (av)??

Don't forget that the higher priced kits are full bumper replacements vs. lip kits like wald, anceltion,....

Our vendors like carson and nigel can get them

I contacted Nigel about body kits about a month and a half ago and he told me he does not do body kits. Someone told me he did but I guess when I asked him he said he didn't.

I love Artisan's kit. I, myself have their fender kit. I paid more in shipping than the cost of the fenders, though....

wow, those fenders are nice but thats a lot of dough for a simple mod... i keep telling myself that i'm going to follow one of those do it your selfs one day from any number of various vip mags with step by steps on how to do it. fenders can be bought new for fairly cheap (i think i saw a pair for like 250 oem unpainted) then follow the steps after you purchase the $100 cut outs and then paint when your all done for about 450-500$.. just never got around to finding someone who wouldn't mind helping me out with this

you could probably sell these for like 700$ a set and still turn a good profit, don't you think??
