Default Origin kit question

Does anyone know if the Origin kit come pre prepped for paint? Or does it need a lot of prep work? And how many hours are we looking at?

Still needs minor sanding and prep work + primer to paint, depends on your painter and paint as well.

call Touge Factory and ask for "TF Dave". tell him that Pavel sent you, that you are from Club Lexus, and you need a price quote on the kit and more details as far as fitment and prep work needed for the kit. i have seen a lot of the origin kits on 240's and silvias and they look pretty good. Touge factory number is: 847-290-1531. i know a few people that work there and they are a cool bunch.

If you look at the body kit fitment thread, you'll see that almost ALL of the SC Origin kits have bad to terrible fitment issues. As said before, be prepared to do some work to make them fit. I think the Silvia kits have much better fitment than the SCs due to sheer number of sales.

Spend a little more and get the JIC kit.
