Default Lip kits

I was just wondering how much everyone got their Lips/ Lip kits for and what kind they were
and where they got it

EX:
Fortissimo 2009 3-piece set
$5000.00 USD
(not including shipping from Japan)

I'm deciding whether I should pick that up or not
Thanks

Wouldn't pay more than $500-1k for a body kit...or a lip kit just because it will get damaged..

I love that kit, I'd say if you can afford it, and get some nice wheels and drop, GO FOR IT! But yes, it's very expensive, there are alot cheaper kits.

What color is your car?

You can get one in the Classified for ~$500.00 brand new. I think that kit is going for around $1000-1500 tops new.

if you spend 5k on lip kit, means you will buy wheels and all kinds of goodies, by that time you could have gotten the IS-F.

$5000 w/o shipping is ridiculous... Especially for a lip kit. Might as well get the full thing - bumper replacements lol.

But if you have the funds and absolutely love it, then go for it!

In my opinion, 5K is way tooooo much for just a kit. No matter how nice or rare it is.
Like everyone has already said, you can get a different kit, rims, coil overs, or exhaust with 5K.

But if you really have the funds and like the kit, just get it. In the end, its your car and your decision. Good luck.

I looked around and found INGS 1+
3 piece for 2000?
Is that overpriced too?
