Wow, that sucks for me. The entire kit is less than what I paid for my front lip a year ago. Really was not feeling the rears but at this price I might as well complete the kit. Darn, this kinda cheapens the kit

I'll pass, its a great deal but too bulky for me. IMO doesn't flow well with the lines of the 3GS.

Just ordered the complete kit for the hell of it. Shipping was like 21 bucks lol. I guess I would have an extra front lip now. Still not sure if I would complete the kit. Really wanted the Job Design sides and rear but its been out of my budget. Lets see.

you're going to receive an email with a different shipping charge , its about $80-$100 for a full kit . its still a good deal .

This is sooo tempting but I spent too much this month to buy something else right now. Plus, now too many guys have it and the front is kinda bulky.
Still, it's a nice looking kit at a super sweet price.

FYI the trunk spoiler does not cover the OEM spoiler holes , so you will need to fill and re-paint the trunk .

Sure no problem. This is what it looks like with just the lip. Hope the pictures help.

I keep coming back to this thread because of the price..... but I really think that this kit looks best on dark color GS's

very good point. I am so tempted by this sale. I am concerned about my sensitive eye and color match issue, but I saw a member recently with a JDM kit from lexus and it still didnt match perfectly
