All cars look great.It's true that there are only a few kits that look good on our cars. I'm having a hard time deciding on which one I wanna put on mine. Unfortunately I don't have deep pockets like some ppl on here, but none the less, my car will look good. Well, at least to me it will. Our cars are an extension of us and should be built to your own taste. Lets c more pics

I used to feel the same about the vertex thing but then I realize that I am the only one in my area who has one...unlike all of the civics I see around here with the same lip, drop, and wheels....it may be unoriginal on the boards...but where I live it's original enough.

Yes, it will be a COMPLETE kit using authentic Vertex parts. I just need to order the rear lip and pick up a JDM bumper now.
i mean that as a general statement to all IS guys. i know it came out the wrong way but theres no rage here.

Do what I did

LTuned rep front
RMM sides
Chargespeed rear

Yeah other people have full chargespeed, Rmm and Ltuned bodykits, but not many people piece different kits together to make something that looks half way decent!!

That's pretty similar to how I feel. You can look at the forums all day and see similar cars/mods, but what are the cars like in your area?

I rarely see any IS 300's in my area. So I'm not really worried about it. I don't want to be viewed as copying some one elses car, but if I like something I'm going to do it.

Ahh.. Gotcha

There are a lot of other kits that look good. But I came across a great deal for the front and sides, and I couldn't pass it up.
