i have espiler and by looking at your sig the drop almost looks the same as mine.
heres a pic of my car from the front to give you an idea how low it is.


like i said befor you just have to watch out for ***** on the roads. ive had my kit on for about 8months now and never had a problem and i live in chicago/suburbs. roads out here is worst then in FL (at least in the city it is)

yeah i belive it was ChronoJ1. i saw his post about the fitment he didnt have to much luck w/ his. the only trouble i had was one of the high beam didnt line up perfect. theres a really small gap between the bumper and the light. you cant even notice it. to be honest i never got into replica kits because of the fitment. i know a few people that got the version select kit for there 240 and AE and the fitment was really good. there a local shop by my area that sell the kit really good people tougefactory.com

The Origin kit looks hot. Vertex is nice but nearly everyone (it seems) has it or is getting it.

Hey that looks really nice. I like the clearance on it as well. Im planning to a Version Select body too. What I was thinking about doing is to put a splitter on the front so I wont have to scrape it up as much. But yeah I had another question..where are you getting the Version body for that price????

My opinion, which seems to differ from that of the rest of the board, is that these kind of kits look really horrible.

IMO, you should buy a 97+ bumper, since you don't care about originality. They can be had for a few hundred bucks and will look like they belong on the car.
