I'll do two... since I cracked 4 bumpers in the past. LOL

Car Year: 1994 SC400
Part Type: Full Kit
Part Make: JIC Magic
Part Construction: FRP
Source: Carson Toyota
Price: $1600
Fitment: Perfect Fit. No modification needed
Installation: Bodyshop
Durability: Not the strongest kit in the world, but it does the job. The front lip are is prone to cracking and if the front is pressured down or inwards towards the engine side, the sidemarker area will crack.



Car Year: 1994 SC400
Part Type: Front Bumper
Part Make: Bomex my 97+
Part Construction: FRP
Source: Bomex USA
Price: $350
Fitment: Perfect Fit. No modification needed
Installation: Bodyshop
Durability: It has a much better ground clearance than the JIC magic. Fiber glass is thin, but it flexs better than JIC.

I'll post about 25mm Vertex Fender soon.

Evolution Rear Lip. Matches AutoCouture sides perfectly well they are the same company anyway. Install was easy me and another CL member installed it. We did my whole kit, once fitment is perfect you can install all this stuff yourself.

ive had exclusive products before and they fit perfectly. exclusive has the same parent company as auto couture, so you can assume their quality and fitment are of high standards.

veilside parts are known to fit perfectly as well.

Where can you get tails like that?! I am looking for the ones in Japan that are the 92' style and white on the top and red on the bottom. Can't find either your or that one. Does anyone here know where to get them? It looks like you just took the colored lenses out of the stock ones and make them clear.

I agree. It took me some more resin & gel kit to make it stronger. Then I had to sand a lof of them down. The fitment is way too bad and the curve around the rear bumper isn't even. The time just to fit it was 1 day, not including sanding to make it nice.
