Yes, Aero kits (body kits) does lower your ground clearance (the amount depends on the kit...) Most people who have kits also lower their car...but you have to drive the car very carefully. Going up and down driveways, over speed bumps, etc., etc..needs to be done with some care...otherwise, you can damage the body kit...

well, an aero kit lowers the line of your car, but your car itself isnt any lower, if you want a lower ride, get some sport springs and shocks and it will feel alot sportier.

Hey UnderCoverSupra, do you actually have that Signature/Evolution kit? That's one of my favorite kits for the JZS-14x GS300's...

those kits are fiberglass, but i think its a very high grade fiberglass, so its not just one of those kits that will crack if you kick it or something. i believe those kits run in the 3k range.

ErickGS3 - Which bumpers did you have? Low quality fiberglass kits (like Erbuni, VIS, and any knock-off kit) usually sucks.

I will be able to get those kits...if anyone is SERIOUSLY interested (I don't have time to futz around with 10000 price quotes and whatnot), PM me with which kit you want and I'll get you a price...

UnderCover Supra - Mad props when you get that GS done up. In case you're interested, my buddy is selling an ENTIRE front clip off a JDM JZS14x Turbo Aristo (includes EVERYTHING like the engine, turbo, intercooler, fenders, hood, grille, lights, firewall, all electronics, etc., etc... and even the dash so you can do a complete right hand drive conversion) for $7000.

That's a nice price for all that,engine, turbo basicly everything ^ front.
How many miles are on the engine? how much do you think it would cost for the installations ? would I have a problem with putting the signature kit on and could I drop all that in a 93 GS


I'm I want a hooked^ motor but I also want a sweet lookin ride ..why does everthing have to cost g's?


shoes & socks 3500 hundred
kit 3 g's
pearl white paint job 15 hundred
sound system 25 hundred

car at the least 10 g's

O yeah! I forgot coilovers , tint , pipes ,installation taxes


I feel like my dream is getting farther & farther to reach..
