Default Naristo Body Kit

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this has been found and posted before, but I was browsing and found this: http://www.ngkits.com/product.php?productid=23457172

It sounds like it may be of low quality ("Removal of front/rear bumper support may be necessary. We strongly suggest having professional installation.Modifications may be necessary for proper fitment."), and it almost looks as though it's just a photoshopped normal 2IS.

It's definitely different looking and might suit a Honda, but IMO it interrupts the beautiful lines of the 2IS, and it's a little too ricey for my taste. What do you guys think?

ehh..I don't know how I feel about the front, the side skirts are definitely ugly, but the majority of sideskirts from any manufacturer tend to be ugly. I guess i need to see better images. IMO

i don't like it at all... screws up the lines and looks too 'bulky' for the car... makes the rear look too boxy and the front has a huge mouth now...

Is it just me or the rear kind of looks like a TSX. Just my thought. I'm not feeling the kit at all. Sorry.
