The rear bumper of the Explosion kit definitely doesn't look stock...it's CLEAN, but it's lower than stock and the bottom sides have some "body" to it...it's a very clean/nice looking bumper...

WIN kit in great...the fake kit is horrible (Carisma's knock-off "revolution" kit)

Price...ask Steve Ganz (tell him I sent ya)

I see where you can see how it looks stock, but the sides dip down pretty low behind the wheel. Either way, that kit is one of the nicest kits out there for the GS. If i'm not mistakes, the closest thing that you can get to it for a cheaper price is the Rod Millen Kit. A lot of people have said that the Rod Millen kit is a poly urethane knock-off of the Explosion kit from Japan. Here's a pic of the back for you:

I think it should look fine with the WIN Racing front/sides...and getting in the winter where it snows would suck...you'd be a luxury snow plow
