the way my swap is going. i am expecting difficulties
you can get the whole 97 kit brand new from the dealer for just over a grand.

The front bumper alone is $520.00 the door moldings are $185.00 each, it's more like about $1500.00.
I don't know where you are getting your pricing from

You can get some deals on here just have the money in your PP at all time ready.
I had an AC kit didn't like it too much my car was too low i crack the front bumper twice for going fast, you have to watch every bump and pothole i hated it. the AC and shine don't flex they are rock solid you hit something you crack you bumper lol.

now i am back with the 97 kit and i love, i feel like that that was the best thing i could have done to my car...haha.

I was going to the dealer but end up getting a good deal on the rear bumper and extension,the rest of the parts i bought from a place in PA.

Don't go to the dealer just save you money and you will get a set on here for a good price.

i hope so! that AIT kit is tempting. i am prepared to spend some added elbow grease to make it fit properly if it doesnt fit completely right lol

i got the AIT, so far it fits alright. it of course is nothing like putting on a urethane bumper that was made from a mold from the factory Toyota/Lexus company.

needs some work. but given the price. i am not going to complain. im satisfied.

i dont have fogs. but if u have some forsale i'll jump on it.

as requested. here are pics with headlights installed. they seem to fit pretty good. my main concern is around the highbeam lights.

pics below, click for larger versions.

i also believe this to be a custom front end. the mouth of this is a perfect rectangular square as opposed to slanted sides. the hood is pretty sexy as well. i think with this hood/bumper combo i wouldnt need anything else besides some basic skirts. so im guessing he did some fiberglass work himself to get the ait to reveal the entire intercooler without revealing the piping. such a clean look!
