The fogs are JDM. They came with the yellow bulbs. I was going to switch them out to match the headlights, but a recent foggy day gave me a chance to test them out, and they work great!

JMai...I think that lip is from Blitz. I can't seem to find any more info on it. I think I remember the old Blitz Catalog had the grille I'm looking for and the eyelids (No, they're not tape).

Hmmm, wonder why the picture didn't post...ok, well let me try again...might have been an illegal character in the name...maybe I just forgot!

That kit that Rico posted looks like a Mythos front bumper (it's a whole bumper)...man, I LOVE those sideskirts...can't figure out who makes it though...do you have any more pictures of that car Rico?

As for lips, the following companies make add-ons lips...

Aero Magic, Sard, Wise Sports, and Prontry. Personally, I think they all look pretty wacked...I think a bumper replacement is a better way to go...(well, a full body kit is the way to go!)

Jami22 - You should pick a visual upgrade based on price. You should pick it based on aesthetics. What if the least expensive lip is ugly as hell (but well made)? You wouldn't want that now would you?

Bumpers will ALWAYS cost more. There is more labor and material involved. Here's a break down of the cost in JPY (Japanese Yen)...just divide by 128.958 (which is the exchange rate at THIS SECOND). Now you also have to figure in the cost of shipping from Japan to the USA (unless the parts are made in the US or there is a "real" US distributor...like Veilside)

Now these are Japanese RETAIL pricing. Meaning that your actual price can be much more (shipping/handling, remember?) or sometimes the same (depending on the discount the importer gets and their greed level)

Aero Magic - 26,000
Sard - 45,000
Wise - 43,000
Prontry - 28,000 (standard version)
Prontry - 32,000 (some special version...different finish I think)

Now some examples of full bumpers...

Kazz-Sports Type 1 - 120,000
Veilside - US$820 (this is the US Retail price... www.veilside.com )
Cerumo Sports - 78,000
Junction Produce - 127,000

Hope that helps...

I think the julia on the right is better....If you get stranded somewhere, you could always eat her
