Default LS430 Body Kit - Aimgain ?

I’m sorting out my new to me ‘04 with 33K original miles. Once I get all maintenance up to date, I’m going full Speed Academy Flexus on it. Looking into body kits and it seems Aimgain is the way to go, so a couple of questions.
  1. I’ve found a few pictures, but most are glamour shots at weird angles. Anybody here have real world pictures of an LS430 with Aimgain kit?
  2. What’s the best source for these kits? They seem pricey considering the platform is 20 years old.
  3. Lastly, any alternative to Aimgain for a quality kit?
Thanks

2. Autofashion USA is a very good vendor for VIP bits. Genuine Aimgain is not cheap. Mastermind North America can get it too iirc.
3. I am unaware of replica style kits. Typically the Geuine VIP companies' products fit damn near perfect.

I really appreciate you posting this as I’ve been wondering who are the best vendors to order stuff from for brands like Aimgain.

The vendor section lists top end motorsports as a forum vendor for kits (aimgiam, kbreak)

I wish body kits less oriented toward VIP builds and just adding lips front and back and replacing the ugly OEM side skirts with something a little more sporty but not "lower" were a thing.

I have a authentic wald lip kit , aimgain front grille, wincorp roof wing for sale as well as retrofitted quad projector jdm headlights. Also go to Streeter Corp. They are the most legitimate source to get JDM parts.

if your feeling lucky you could try the japan auction sites (FromJapan, Buyee, Croooober) and have a used kit shipped over because like others said new AimGain, Black Pearl, Mode Parfume Wald or anything like that is going to cost a pretty penny from the manufacturer now add in a middleman and it goes higher

Got it, thanks. One of the picture from the backside of the front bumper looks like a bunch of filler / glue or something. That normal for one of these?
