Search. There's a billion threads on this subject. Also what "looks the best" is a matter of personal preference/taste.

There are very few affordable, quality FC body kits. There are only 2 affordable and easily available that I know of. The Bomex kit and the Corksports kit. Although I prefer the look of the Corksports kit I haven't heard good things about the quaility and fitament.

Well yeah, but unfortunately it is not *affordable* and next to impossible to get in the states. If you find someone who will import this kit let me know, seriously, I want one.

Haven´t heard anything bad about them. Have you puchase from them before? Well I´ll see when I purchase the Re amemiya fc200 front in two weeks. But for the price there is no one close.

Nice, someone is making a GPsports knock off. I can't tell if it is an exact copy, but either way it looks just as good.

Good find! Great price as well. $900 for front, sides, and rear. Only thing I don't like is that it is fiberglass. Still well worth it though.

i like the mariah body kits in fact i'm in the process of buying a combo of pieces from them. I don't want the mode six front fenders i like the mode five and the mode six rear fenders and the pieces that go on the doors and around the back of the car. the mode five front end and the mode six rear spoiler. it should turn out really cool. of coarse i'll have to buy some deep dish wheels for the rear and not to deep for the front. i have a mariah body kit on my 1st gen and i can say they make a good product. i think it's worth every penny. www. mariahmotorsports.com

I agree with MarkPerez here. Mariah Motorsports wide body kit is hands down the most complete kit ever IMO. Will cost you a few dimes but you only live once. Last I knew "Big Red" was still for sale.

Yeah, but for the price vs. importing, not to mention the availability, you can have a shop take care of the fitment issues (any competent shop can) and still spend less money on it then locating/importing a real kit.
