Default What is this front end?

I have looked far and wide and I have no idea what front end this is.

It came on a friend's Soarer that he imported to Canada from Japan, and he doesn't even know what it is. It also came with JIC magic sides and a erebuni rear lip, so no help there.

Thanks,
Chris

Not sure why people don't just get the Vertex kit instead of trying to get something similar

Thank you very much, just the info I was looking for. I have always thought your SC is one of the most radical and tastefully done wide body customs I have ever seen. Color is sick too.

Let me guess....... stock 97+ is the only kind of SC that looks good. I love your SC BTW, if you use it for offroading, yours has the perfect wheels and stance.

Not even close to looking like a vertex. Thanks for that thread on the cupholder, it's nice to see someone thinking outside the box a little. Even if you have to put it on and remove it every time you open the cupholder.

IKR......Why on earth would anyone want to have something unique on their SC. Crazy...... I love your SC BTW, but I find it really funny that you would start a "build" thread and your build only involves a drop, rims, exhaust and a front lip.


It has been a while since I posted anything on CL, I love this forum because of people like Kohinoor who have the experience, humility, respect and taste to share their extensive knowledge with people seeking information no matter what their personal tastes are.

I forgot how many people get on here with negative opinions, misinformation, disrespect and the idea that there is only one way for an SC to look good. These people are not a positive influence on this forum. At least keep it humorous and lighthearted if you are a troll or want to trash talk.........

I hope none of you are offended by getting called out on your negativity, it's nothing personal, I'm sure you are all nice people, but I have to clown you a little bit in return.

Very similar to the one I went with from AIT (a "knock off" the Extreme Dimensions which is a knock off of the Vertex). The OEM fog lamps cost more than the front end (not including paint) and the fitment is not that great but it was what I was willing to spend given the long list of other things I still want to do....

Not a bad looking bumper, if you like it that's all that really matters.

It is an AIT Racing Velocity kit
http://www.bodykits.com/AIT-Racing/B...IVTXCK/822404/.

Here it is before paint (the front end in back is for another car). The kit was bought by the body shop, TnT Auto Body of Sacramento. They acquired it I believe from a distributor in San Jose.


This is not that an expensive (or high quality) kit and with all after market kits fitment is always a challenge. Below are the pictures with progress and steps along the way. The team at TnT did a great job getting it to where it is....
