I love the body kit, i think it goes with the body lines nicely. I like the rims, but need to see them at a different angle. (love the deep lip)

I think the car looks awsome droped like that, but it could never be driven on public roads that low.(At least not Rhode Island or Massachusets roads.)

The car is setup for drifting. Thats why the tires are tilted so mush in the front. But i have to say it is one of the sweetest kits out =) But the sides could use a il customisation lol.

Can you even get the kaminari kit anymore? I thought I read somewhere that they had a fire in one of their wharehouses and the molds got destroyed or something. If you could get it still that'd be kick ***.

Also, what did they do with the side moldings? They look there, just different then stock. Do those side moldings come with the kit... ? I'd also like to see some pictures of another car with the kit that is not totally slammed like that.

Sweet body kit...

Exactly, I love everything but the slammed look...

How much is this kit, anyway? Where is it available?

Yea right. I don't think anyone would go through the hassle of filling customs sheet and shipping and besides if you add shipping to that it'll be about the same. Also, they don't understand or speak english. For you to bid in a Japan auction, you need to have a Japan bank account to transfer funds.

I put one of those CF wings on my car and it actually looks damn good. I also have the apexi exhaust so the back of my car looks mean as ****. But then when I look at the front, it makes it look weak as hell. This is a kit I am considering but like everyone said.. EXPENSIVE!!!!

i love the way the front looks......swweeet but subtle...and the rims they put on there were off of their demo fd thats whay they are funky...if you have an eye for detail u can see in their ad in SCC ad the FD wheels are the same......and yes it is expensive as hell...700 for the front bumper...i am also a big fan of the corksport but it really isnt corksport just a knock off of the border kit.....which looks nice but the bottom of the front end wraps too far past the wheel well....looks kinda silly......but i dig the price....about the kit the sideskirts are huge......look like runners you would find on a truck.....and the rear.....i dont know....it looks kinda saggy.....reminds me of the bomex one which is defintely not my taste but the front is nice.....then again the price issue comes up.......2300 for the whole kit....thats not shipped OR painted....and to me thats freakin nuts.......i wanna make a competitive kit in the 1100 range if possible.....thats why u rarely see any pics of a GP kit...no one can aford it.....ive only seen one pic of it and about a thousand others that were the same pic just photoshopped a different color but there is a guy on the other forum that bought it along with a panspeed hood.....but he hasnt installed it yet i dont think.......i also want other fenders......rx8 style with a vent on the side....hmmm....maybe ill have to make one...

I really dispise this kit, it looks alright, but it doesn't seem to have that much funtionality like some of the other kits that are made for our cars. And that is why I want to get the RE kit, even though its expensive as hell.

This kit is beautifully made, and purposeful for drifting, that's the style of drifting done perfectly and I have pics of people's FC's with it on and it looks amazing

FYI, just found out. GP sports is no longer officially in US anymore. The company was sold. New owners do not want to do overseas. So now back to gray market. At least it just made my FC that much more rare. But does suck.
