Lightbulb Body Kits

Okay, I'm struggling on what Kit to get for my IS? C West, Visage, makes a beautiful kits, but it seems as though everyone has it. Now I found a front kit made from "Elixir". Does anyone know how or where to purchase this? What other kits would you recommend? Help. Need to start this project soon.

It depends on what you are looking for.
Most people mix and match things that they like and that look good.

Don't just get a kit if you don't like a part of it or if you think that something else could look better.

How much are you willing to spend?

Exclusive body kits from Japan can be very expensive, like USD3K - 5K for the body kit and another USD2K - 3K for shipping.

Very nice kits are for instance for the IS300:

C-One






Tom's



TTE

Default Prices

Yeah, I'm figuring that out. The cost can be expensive, plus from what I've been reading, I would have to modify a few things to make them fit. I have a "toms" front lip now. I'll just get sides and a rear lip or bumper to finish it off.

Default Wide body kit

StreetEfx.com makes a nice wide body kit that allows for wider wheels and dual exhaust. This is fairly new so they don't have a pic of it on their website yet. However I do have some pics of it.

I've seen this kit before at Hot Import Nights in Chicago. One of the boys at Bodywerks has an Orange one, but didn't use the "extra-large" side skirts, rather Wald ones. It's looks great. I thought about going wide with the Wald fender flares. I think for me, the Wald fender flare kit would be plenty. This kit by Streetefx, may require $$$ for a set of wheels to fit. 19 X 13's???

I will send you a pm on how you can this hood.
Please remember it will take 2 - 4 weeks for stuff to go from HK to the US (depending on West or East coast) and shipping is not cheap.
