Default Why not JDM sides?

Manaray,

Thanks for the props bro! In answer to your question, well I decided to keep the L-Sportline side skirts because 1) I really like the look of them (as in the way they flare out) and 2) I'll admit that I'm too lazy to remove them and put on the JDM side skirts (though on 2nd thought they would probably be a better fit). Now you have me thinking...

Hmmm... if no one buys the JDM side skirts from me soon, I may put my L-Sportline side skirts up for sale. Anyone interested on either?

I'll take the L-sportlines off your hands if you ever put on the JDM sides. Please PM me if you do.

al2jze - I would put the JDM ones on simple to have a uniform body kit (it all goes together) and because YOU KNOW that the JDM will fit better!

Hey, looky there...you already have a buyer!

Allan, email me, I have a question to ask you...

I went to GTAutoSports website and I like the following front bumpers:

c-one
rod millen
egoist
imc
auto couture
l-sportline

But remember I just wanna put the front bumper, no side skirts, no rear bumper, and I want it to look good with the rest of the car too, not out of alignment or anything. So I guess I don't want any of these front bumpers to be larger than stock height (remember I live in a hilly area so I can't have a really low body).

Which front bumper do YOU guys think would look the best?

nanotech ...

I hear what you're saying about how LOW the aftermarket bumpers hang. I don't know, I just think most of them are BUTT UGLY because they make the car look like it has a freakin beard.

I would buy a body kit if there was a "sleeker" looking front bumper.

Who can help?

Here's better picture of the AutoCouture Kit...this is one of the kits I'm considering...(this is actually the Version 2 kit...the front bumper is almost exactly the same...what they changed was the sideskirts...these look MUCH better!)

The rims are AutoCouture Indicators (avail only in 20")

Does anyone know what the clearance is on the front and back bumper spoilers such as JDM and AutoCouture? How much lower than stock bumper with L-Tuned springs?

That AutoCouture Version 2 kit is really nice!!

I'd like to know how much that kit goes for too! And how much lower does that front bumper hang compared to stock? I don't think I could do it on my car if it's too low.

Like I have said before, I just want to change the front bumper, I think everything else about the stock GS (the rear bumper, sides, etc) look good.

Therefore, I need a front bumper that would match well with the rest of the ALL STOCK car, either the arms design or the auto couture (both are different yet still conservative, not too ricey)...I hope they will look good with the rest of the car, and I hope they aren't too expensive just for the front bumper....and these kits usually don't come pre-painted, right?

Default How bout the C-One STB

Manaray,
I had the RMM STB, but sold it cause it didn't really seem to be functionally optimal. I was thinking about getting the TRD one from Steve since I just ordered a boat load of stuff from him (TRD sways, LSD, CB, front grill, Cross drilled supra rotors) I wanted to get a functional STB, but also wanted one to look pretty. I saw in the Hyper Rev Aristo book the IMC and C-ONE STB. Can you get me a price or know of anyone who can get this.

Thanks
Ricky

Thumbs up same, good taste

the auto cuture VII kit's list price in japan is as follow:

front bumper:~USD$900 (using ~120yen = $1usd)
sides 625
rear bumper 850

front and rearare bumper replacement, so more expensive than the version I, whichjust lip add-ons.

Version I's listed price are ~1/2 of version II for front or rear.
