I don't love it or hate it, it's just not the style I'm after.

You will get opinions on both ends, but it all boils down to what YOU like.

There are three of them, which one are you referring to, Type I, Type II, or Type III? Anyhow, none of them really seem to do it for me.

Here's a link to the Win Corporation website so you can see the three different styles.

Thanx Seize. Damn Type II and III are ugly, I'm glad I bought Type I. I was referring to Type I but not the whole kit just the front bumper and sideskirts, also what's a good rear bumper to match up with that kit?

Honestly, I don't even know but I've liked that kit since I saw on Adrian's(bluelex) car. Also, my front bumper has a few big scratches so I figured instead of painting it I might as well just get a different bumper. I think I got a pretty good deal on a knockoff so I jumped on it.

for sure .. well how much did you end up paying ? and was just the front bumper ? I have seen used kits that will make the car alot more tasteful ... also whats your over all theme your going with ?

I wanted to have a japanese kit .. but no one can ship over the kit i was looking for .. since it was custom .. soooooooooo I found what I did .. but careful .. on what you buy , but over its yours thoughts that count the best ..

I guess the Type I front bumper looks better with an intercooler in there.
