So you saw this in an Air Force Exchange mag?

Looked up Carus red label on the net and came up blank.

Let me know where to get this kit, I love the front more than the Vertex kit.

I'll be in the minority when I say it's just a bit too sporty for my tastes but nice nontheless.

The reason why you can't find any real info of it online is because the Carus brand has just been introduced 2 editions ago on the VIP Style magazine (which always dishes out the newest stuff for the JDM market by the way). When I first saw it, I thought it was a cross between something for the E-class, the M5 and the Ferrari. A little too "Blackwidow"-ish kit for me. Seems like something you'd put on a Honda....

....but hey, it's always nice to see something new for our aging cars.

I have to agree with Jon.. the front bumper has Euro taste, but the side skirt looks like Veilside K1, and the rear bumper looks like Veilside Executive
