I have the BOMEX and love it.

The JIC looks great IMO.

Sell plasma and buy the AC kit

A few of my personal favorites (if I had the funds right now I would have the Inspection with Air Runner air suspension!)

Inspection soarer


it would be something different for the states- I believe you can order it from steve ganz, but it cost a pretty penny.

Wise Sports full bumper replacement kit is pretty nice (ignore chips!)


The Target Street Attacker aero kit has always seemed interesting to me


If I wanted something super exclusive that would drop jaws at a show I would try and get my hands on a Runner Blister kit or a B&N Sports Blister Kit


If you want something a bit more common, you cant go wrong with T&E Vertex or JIC...

the "wald" is for the conservative (almost sleeper like) type of guy
the "ac" is for a guy who is into the clean type look (it reallly only is a more aggressive 97 conversion.)
the "jic" gives you best of both worlds, not TOO easy, and not TOO wild. (more people have this)

good luck on your decision.

Here's 3 angles of my JIC.. i love this kit, just sucks that it has about 6+ layers of paint on it.. tends to crack easily at the corner by the sidemarkers but its okay! new paint is always nice!

Reggie, do you think I would mislable one!? Im sorry, but I know it does not appear on their website, you have to do some research beyond that!!! (I thought somebody with a wise lip would recognize an older wise front bumper!)

but how about a direct translation for the seller of the car

RG (???????) height pitch TRD 1 WayLSD BLITZ
??????????? apex brake pad wise front bumper
(the fog lamp processed installation turn signal putty for mid term it
buries the) bell tex type side step ???????????
third ria jauntily the Ra bonnet duct LED turn signal equipped aero
mirror
I even emailed the seller- yes it is an older wise sports front bumper-

thanks for all the info....have a couple of questions though....between the ac, jic and wald what are the price differences? i am kind of leaning towards the wald right now but i just cant find enough pics of all three to decide....i went to intellexual.net and saw those.......so if anyone has any more pics i would appreciate it...........one more question......how easily to those kits crack? im sure if you hit a dead animal in the road and didnt have time to miss it you would pretty much screwed? i have eibachs on my car so i only have a one inch drop.........any help would be appreciated

thanks

AC - $2200-$2600
JIC - $1300-$1500
WALD - ~$1500

they can take a beating to a certain extent, with my JIC, i parked too close to those concrete blocks and went over it, to my surprise, only scratches, but if you were to get rear ended, or even slightly in the parking lot, then yea, it's screwed

I like the Wald, or the Vapor kit by Phoenix (sp?)....there's a pic of the vapor kit in the gallery I believe.
