I love FRONT lip.
Kamarani kit looks really good in black.

put some black sticker vinyl on the car where you can see white thru the sideskirt vents. useless vents ar OK as long as you can't tell they are useless.

front and sides are nice gotta fix those vents...paint em black and put a black background like vinyl or whatever works..the rear is sorta iffy but might just be the angle? that lip kit is freaking expensive and give u props on the urethane thats smart!

i am working on changing the vents to black and also trying to find a difrent mesh that is a little bigger. yes the color is still off on the sideskirts i am taking them back to him tomarrow and going to try and get them redone so they are a closer match.

I love the front and it is a nice easy good looking fit.
the rear is ok but not that great. just looks a little off the way they did the body lines on it.
the sides i havent realy made up my mind on yet once i get the color matched better i will probably be alot happier with them and get the grill situation figured out.

i will keep posting pics and updating my progress

That kit would look good with a buddy club rearend.........

It looks great!!! But I don't think the kit should be priced that high.

02situner

reason for the high price is it is urathane not fiberblass. most the other kits that are cheaper are fiberglass.

urithane is so much better to have and worth the extra money

the rear looks like it's awaiting a hks exhaust or greddy evo ;)
definitely put the mesh in the side skirts. white will look okay, black might be all right. you might want to try leaving one white and other black, put them on and see what you think, then paint the other one the way you want it.


But with black, it will be better looking over time, imo. you will notice more crap getting caught and stuck in the mesh if it's white.

man that kit is freakin awsome, your car looks hot with that lip on it.. the back doesnt really fit my taste but everything else looks awsome, i think the mesh should be painted black or have you ever thought about red? it'll match jdm H's if u have any or plan on getting some.... btw does that front lip kit fit on the si's that have oem fogs?

side skirts are getting repainted tomarrow. i picked up some black vynal today so i can put it behind the grills so it looks black in there and not white. hopefully i have time this weekend to work on them. i will keep posting

Looks good. Its tough to match the white paint. My wings west kit was kinda off but when I got my kaminari one on I went to different painters. It looks a lot better now and the more its outside the more natural it will look. At least I think so. They finally put the pictures up on Kaminari's website so you can see the paint job they did on mine.
