Damn, $1k!!! Great find especially with the kit. I've been searching for a rear lip
but it seems these days the only option is flared stuff, or a full on bumper from
AC/Shine Auto.
Save your money on the headlights. Just turn the oven to 300 and set them in for 5
minutes. Pry them open, clean them out, use auto silicone to reseal them. You'll
save quite a bit. Honestly, they all leak at some point.
Remove the V8 emblem, repaint the front lip, install some 95+ tails and
polish her up!

you sir hit the jackpot---congrats
lol well define slightly ghetto-------some might say the whole body kit is slightly ghetto as well-----personally it goes with the body kit and does add some uniqueness-----but on a stock sc the emblems would not mesh well---just my opinion

Just a little update. Had to get new tires so I went with 245/30/18 front and 265/30/18 out back. I had 245's all around originally. I like it and what a difference a nice balanced set of tires makes. Mine were bubbled, camber worn and dry.
Oh and I painted the center caps black...that random white center cap thing was bugging me. As for the V8 emblems they are staying..for now, they are really really on there good and I don't feel like doing any paint work at the moment.

Not hatin or anything... but a purge on a Nitrous setup that is as small and likely a dry kit is basically like going to the gas station... buying 2 gallons of gas and pouring the second one on the ground. Ill admit they look cool, but we dont even use one our BUILT 302 with a 400 shot.

Steal on the price man! Especially with that kit, seems rare. I've never seen a Kamanari kit for an SC before. But yeah first couple things you gotta do to cleanher up is plast-X those headlights/corner lights, and remove the V-8 badges lol. But welcome to the club bro! glad to have another member!
