All you'd need after that are racing stripes!

Kamrani makes excellent bodykits for everycars.

front lip and CF hood with vents are proper. Those and CTR sideskirts are gonna be my only "show" mods, when I have some $$$ that is.

yea...this is a repost...but that front lip is very nice...subtle, yet agressive in its own way. for me its either this lip, or type r

When I was rear ended I looked into possibly getting this body kit to install because it was in the shop already. Unfortunatly I didn't have the cash or the time to order the kit. It is the only kit that I like!

I love the kit! Is there any where to find it for cheaper? How much do you think it would cost for...

Full lip kit and fiberglass hood, all painted black (no spoiler)

Installation?
Painting?
Kit?

Any info is appreciated, i think it looks sick!

I hate bashing companies, but just beware of that wing!!!! it really needs to be modified BIG time....Its a USDM FIT but they didnt do their mold correct, and put ALOT of GEL COAT so it has a BIG gap

just wanted to send out a forwarning to you all since i went through 2 Kaminari wings so far....

This is what the wing looks like on our car

Yo! Check us out on the Vendor Sales section, we got a sale on the Kaminari kit. Yo Eric! I got your wing on my car since you taxed mines:( ;) :D . It doesn't look great, but the "style" of the wing aint to shabby.

can't you shave down all that gel to make the wing sit better like people are doing with the jdm wings? what is so different about it that you can't get it to sit right when people can get the jdm wings to sit nicely? i am wondering because i want a cf wing and it would suck to think that the kaminari wing wont work no matter what.

yeah yeah yeah rocky...i wouldnt have taken yours if u guys sent me another one! :)

but yeah seriosuly all this wing is awesome, the CF is just WOW its way better CF then the Mugen Knock off...but it just needs modification that i cant figure out....

fishboy this wing isnt like the JDM type r, or mugen knock off (as in what needs to be modded)

ok so heres the deal....

you take a look @ the back of the kaminari wing and it looks fine, all of the holes match up with the car, there are no extra holes or bumps on it...so you would think it would fit perfect right? no.

it really seems like they put WAY too much gel coat on the wing...but when you go to sand down the wing or even dremel it, it still wont fit...i sat there for hours with plenty of people trying to mod this wing it just dont work...i think their mold is off a little....
Kaminari says that the reason why the wing sticks UP is because its their 'style' like rocky is refering to...but seriously its NOT any style...if you put this wing on w/o shaving any gel coat off, it looks BAD cause its all sorts a sticking up,and doesnt sit flush with the roof of the car...
i shaved as much gel coat i could off w/o ripping into the cf so it has to be their mold... i had this problem with 2 of their wings... i am not wanting to bash kaminari, because their CF is like NO OTHER CF i have ever seen, they really do a great job HAND laying the CF it just looks sooo pretty....

here are some more pics, the first pic is of the wing MODIFIED, so is the second one, and the last one is a far away pic...if you live in cali stop over @ SSUSA and see for yourself as well, if you live on the east coast i will show you bigger pics if you would like...

So yeah Chuck and rocky helped me alot because i was unhappy with the service @ kaminari and their 2 wings they gave me...So i no longer have kaminari wings i have the mugen rep now...

The reason this wing is 400 dollars is because its HAND made and the CF is hand laid so i can see why the price is up there...but they shoulda tested this mold on a ep...

if you need anymore info let me know
