Default Need help on body kit?

Does anyone know what body kit this is? I just got an sc300 and the front bumper is a little messy. I would rather buy a new bumper then to repaint the old one. I know it costs a little more but i love the kit that is on this red sc.

VIS is a replica body kit of T&E Vertex...Do a search, you will find this body kit from this particular company is not appealing to many members on this board...

Clear side markers - Can make it yourself with tools from Home depot or buy JDM markers from D-speed which take a substantial time to arrive...Again, do a search regarding clear markers...Plenty of info laying around...

JIC Magic Kit - Will run you around $1300.. Very high quality, I can vouch for that since I have this kit on my car...Not too sure what the price is for the Phoenix kit but, I can assure you that they do not come cheap...Especially if they have to be special ordered from Japan...

the VIS is 1/3 the price of the JIC kit. Has anyone seen or have one of these kits? Much help is appreciated.

Target kit made by Team Phoenix (i cant find!)
VIS kit or...
JIC kit?

What do u guys think..i like the front of these kits. But price is also an issue (only target kit is an exception..heheheheeee)

thanx,
md

i have a white 97 sc300.
just got some 18" offset 8/9 245/265 Kazara KZ-A (seems kinda small) not my first choice though.
eibach springs/Tokico struts

If you guys have anything to sell ...email me. Superchargers/turbos/any performance accessories.

If price is not a issue then I would suggest that you purchase what you want...You'll be happier in the long run...

the VIS is 1/3 the price of the JIC kit
So is the dollar menu at Mcdonalds...

I'll buy your stock 97 bumper, sides and rear off of you if you do get a kit. I have cash in hand, just let me know when you're ready to sell it.

Default NICE!

Hey, how many inches did u drop your car? I'm about to but in the eibach springs. It claims to lower the car by 1". Can any of you tell me how low is 1" on the sc3? Now i can stick about 2.5 of my fingers on top of each other in the front and 2 fingers in the back ( i have normal fingers like a 5'6" guy). I am hoping the gap will be just 1 finger. Can i achieve this with just the eibach or must i cut it a little lower??

I agree, the JIC looks good!
