I would suggest surfing www.l-tunedparts.com, and looking in the AERODYNAMICS/EXTERIOR section.

BTW Congrats on the house Several years until I get those loving mortgage payments

the Junction Kit is Great

im a huge fan of it myself and hope to have it one day as well

the reason it cost $4400 is because you get alot more than any other kit

over 10 pcs to be exact
front and rear bumpers,sideskirts,doorcaps,3pc spoiler,foglights..

plus Junction Produce is top of the line

so i see you have good taste ...be patient ...save up...if this is something you know you want

keep your eyes on the vendor forum

do a mix and match, try to get deals from CL classifeld. I got my whole setup for 1200, TTE front lip, L-tuned side and grill, roofspoiler, veilside rear bumper. I haven't put my rear on yet, but I love my setup.
well, I guess if you are loaded, go for the JP tho, it is the top!

personally, it could be me but i won't do mix match on kits (front, rear, and sides). i think the whole set always looks the best, but that's just me

the jp is of course nice, and seriously for the price i think it's not that bad since you are getting a lot more pieces than other kits. but it's major money nonetheless. have you looked at the hyper rev mags? i think that's the best book for you to learn about your car and the kits availiable

Does the CF kit have a finished look to it, like you could just bolt it up and it would look great? I notice a lot of E46 M3s have CF lip kits that they just bolt up and think the JP kit in CF would look really sick on a black GS.

if you like the VIP JP look...

you could go with the Sessions kit. - it's got the VIP style to it IMO.

or maybe the Fabulous kit.- also has the JP VIP look.


Quick Reply: need some suggestions on picking a kit.
