I'm assuming that this is an Inspection kit. Aside from getting ordered from Japan anyone know where i can purchase one here in the US?

I have the only one that I'm aware of. I lucked into mine in a big way.. a friend that imports engines and accessories got it on an Aristo that they brought in.. unfortunately the front bumper was destroyed.

I had no idea what make the kit even was, I searched for weeks before seeing a pic in Hyper Rev in the body kit section.

A few weeks after that, someone posted the pic that you did and I knew what I had for sure. I checked out the price on the .jp site.. yikes.. it's like $2800.00US for the whole kit I think.

I have the Aristo trunk lid with the Inspection rear lip spoiler on it as well, it needs to be match painted though.

I've never heard of another one in the US..

thanks for all the info guys. $2800 is still over a grand cheaper than the Junction kit and I like the lines of the Inspection better. I'll keep researching and see what's up. Hopefully I can find a dealer somewhere in the US. Thanks again for everyone's input....

Geez.. I couldnt imagine spending almost $4000.00 for a body kit.. props to those that have the flow and can do it, but that money could buy so much power!!

I'm afraid to say what I spent on my kit, but buying cheap is the only way that I'd be able to have it. I have a lot of lightly used parts on my car, that is the only way I can get the good stuff.. example.. pair of Bride Ergo seats, Inspection kit and spoiler, HKS HiperMax coilovers.. =good friend in Japan. Just always been that way.. my S13 was hooked up the same way.. I somehow never pay full price. Plus I do this (fabrication, swaps, tuning) for a living so that is a big plus too.. not having to pay labor.

I'll be modifying the rear bumper on my kit to a single channel instead of duals here in a few days for the 85mm 304ss exhaust I'm building. I think I may also build some carbonfiber venturis on the back to break up the big empty space that will be in the middle.. I just got a rivet gun and I wanna play..

Good luck in hunting down an Inspection kit.. what color is your car RPX? I've been trying to find the kit on a car other than mine and other than black.. The car in Japan mine was on was silver.. I know that b/c I have the whole Aristo trunk lid. Funny thing is, the sideskirts almost perfectly match my 2 tone (silver lower).

Make sure you attend the big meet this sunday at the Super Autbacs store in Stanton. Check the SOCAL chapter forum for more info.
