Default ES300 Body kit on ebay for cheap

what do you think about this kit? I was thinking about converting to an 01 front bumper but this kit might be a little nicer. What do you guys think? If one of you wants to buy the kit go ahead, I not going to buy at this moment just researching my options.

imo, that kit is ugly, I thought about the 01 bumper and fogs but decided on going with the exclusive front lip spoiler(still 4-5 more weeks till I get it from japan) for a more custom look. If there is a way to put the 01 fogs on with a little fabrication than I will get those also.

you get what you pay for, cheap kit, cheap quality. Check out the kits from that one site everyone talks up around here. i cant remember the name, someone help me out here, they sell the exclusive kit and all that. Also you might want to talk to hoebag, he can tell you quality from the crap.

it will probably look the same, but you wont have the same fitment and quality as the original part on l-tuned. you WILL get what you pay for.. and sometimes it can bit you in the ***

Seems to shady for me, the car looks like the same exact car from l-tuned but the steering wheel is on the other side. Looks like a photo chop. It also lists it as a "raceon" product. I call shenanigans!!

Cool

Most full body kits make the car look cheap IMO & one usually lowers their cars to boot so about 98% also suffer body damage from high speed bumps, high angled driveways & the like. Wast of money if u ask me.

I think the front lip( Exclusive) that Hoebag got is nice

You can then find some nice side skirts and a rear to comlete a kit.


what do you guys think of these side skirts....JUST the side skirts..
the remind me of retrodrives side skirts on the LS. I like
you can get the side skirts for $199. I like cause they are just straight and simple.
maybe complete with a simple A/C rear. so for under $1000 you got a complete kit that would look good...I think

yeah, It would take a good shop to mount them...but I think its worth it.


think...wouldn't it look good with this front lip and the A/C rear lip????
if I were to do something like that,I would somehow cover the 2 vent hole things...to make it flow better....not that there is anything wrong with them....just would flow way better

I like the front the lip, but I was hoping to do a full front bumper exchange. I wish their was more options. I could go with the 01, but then it just looks like another 01. Time to do some research.
