To bad I couldn't meet most of the members but hopefully we'll meet up at the next meet. I wanted to put a face to RacingAristo and GlobeCLK but hopefully next time. The only new member I met was LexusLord but it was good seeing gs4Will again.
As for the quality, it's the same thickness as the veilside hood and front bumper that was on display or for sale. I went around and saw all the kits and saw the thickness of it so that's how I knew the quality was as good. I have never seen a REAL kit from japan before until the Carson meet but I was glad to see the Explosion kit was well made compared to the rest of the kits.
As for Manaray, hopefully this post will be long gone before he's back. LOL

As long as I like the kit and that nobody else can notice, then it's all good. But I'm not ashamed to tell people I've bought a replica

What body kit should i get? i know thats a open question. I like keeping it to where it looks like a lexus. I like the rmm kit, veilside hood would be neat....i dont know what some of you veterans of cl think about mix matching. thanks alot. btw, i figured most of the "real kits" are polyurathine. The "fakes" are fiberglass....true...false...both...just asking bryan bstylecustoms187@hotmail.com

Actually most kits are fiberglass but more urethane kits are starting to show up
Here is a link to a site that has lots of kits but the reputation of the company has been questioned
Aero kits

As for material, it appears that most all JDM kits are made of fiberglass and you can not get much more "real" than that. The only kits full replacement kits that I am aware of that are made of polyurathane(sp) are LSportline and RMM.

Cong28 has the Las Vegas shirt on that day according to GS4will. If it wasn't for William, I would not even know who is who. As people say, "them dang Asian, they all look alike"........hahaaaa :eek:
We definitely need name tag, mod list for the car, and the name tag for each member, next time.

The stock fogs does not fit on the kit so you have to replace them w/ round fog lights. Mine have been backorder for 3 months. It looks like no retailer can get their hands on the Catz even though catz said they have shipped them out.

From what I know, you can do either way. You can hard wire the aftermarket to your stock fogs or you can find aftermarket lights that uses the same lights that the GS uses which are 9006. I haven't found any aftermarket fogs that uses the 9006, majority of them use the H1 or H3. You can also go the expensive way and get HID Fogs
