If you want a VERY NICE FITTING kit for a really decent price check out www.versionselect.com (yea, it's a copy) BUT the fitment of their kits are excellent and the price is right. I plan on getting that kit as soon as funds allow.

www.importfan.com is a distributor of BN Sports (I believe that is who you meant-)
http://www.bn-sports.co.jp/


BN Type I


BN Type II


BN Front Half Spoiler (97+ lip)


BN Blister (widebody)



The runner is going to be a bit harder to source- here is their website- you are probably going to need to know or know somebody that can speak Japanese and just call them...

John from VIP tuning may be able to assist you, however he has been very busy

The inspection kit is very clean- I think for my money I would go for the inspection kit, the BN sports Blister or maybe a mixture with the Team Target Phoenix Front... (sides and rear I would have to think about more.)

Also- the signature kit by the evolution group (which is affiliated with Auto Coture) is pretty cool and rare!

if you really have a good chunk of money to spend on a kit..you should also look for a kit made for another car.. toyota supra, 350z, whatever.. and then get a very experienced body shop to modify it alot to fit and flow with your sc..

a lot of people don't realize that if you have the right body shop, they can really so some amazing work. it might run you a lot of $, but it will truly be one of a kind.

dsepite the different body sizes and what not, body shops can work magic and make the kit look like it was made for the sc.

My opinion for what it's not worth. OEm is always beautiful also. Get a 97+ body or the AutoCouture, if you want to keep it clean and not gaudy or fish-looking. my .02

im deffinatly going for a custom look but i want to keep my down time to a minimum so getting a kit for another car and having it custom fitted on is a little out of the question ... im trying to have my car ready for blood drag in feb. i still havent found the kit im looking for i remember a while back some one posted pics of it in one of my old old threads and it was just amazing i had saved the pics but ive gone through several diff. comps now and no longer have them ....
i believe that sc400texas was actually the member that posted them for me

gottrd- i havent really heard anything about the meet but im in orlando alot so if you give me some details i will prolly show up

thanks again guys but keep postin those kits if ya can i appreciate it
