Ya I like the way the RE kit improves on the body lines but keeps the feel of the car. Just cleans up all the turn lenses and such.
I know what you mean about the black ring, the RE FD kit has what your talking about and it looks nice.
I am thinking of having a custom glass shop make me some.
I'll take a 90 degree pic. I dont have the side skirts so it doesn't look quite right yet. I'm getting the side skirts in a while.
As far as the body lines being ruined, no way this kit totally keeps the factory body lines. It's just lower than the side line of the car so you need the side skirts to make it look right.

Looks good. Hows the fitment on a S4? They always say its meant for S5s is why I ask.
And I plan on getting the same one. My car is silver, but I'm going to paint the inside part around the headlights flat black I think and tint the plexiglass slightly.

Thats exactly how they look on the FD kit. (tinted edge and it looks good)
As far as fitment on the s4 you have to do a lot of fabbing to get it to work. You have to do cutting to somethings and move the bumper up and cut for the fog light holes. You'll figure it out it's not too hard just takes time fitting it then pulling it to cut. If you have any questions once you get it PM me.
Thanks everybody who said it looks good.
BTW I'm getting 17" 5zigen bronze wheels I think it'll look much better then.

I think 17's look small on Fc's

I think 17s are perfect. Not too big, not too small. But right now I'm actually feeling the 15" vert wheels with not center caps

Why would I go 18?
Like ride said 17 is perfect it's a plus 1 from stock.
18's are heavier and I like a little more tire than you get with a 18 (I'm talking about tallness)
Anyway I dont want to start that argument here please.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.
I bought this car 2 years ago and just drove it for the first time about a month ago! These are the first pics I posted of it as well.
I was wainting to kinda unveil it
I bought the car for 500 bucks with blown motor and fire damge and nursed it back to health and what it is today.
Check out my sig for the engine mods, It's not just pretty, It's fast too
I'll post some engine bay pics later.

If you want the original one. I have one for $1250. It's located in LA, California so no crazy shipping rates from Japan. Shipping from LA to you will be around $150 within lower 48 Sates. You can also pick up the bumper in person if you are in LA area.

[B]Yeah it's the RE Amemiya FC Full Cowl Pro.
I bought it from Inukai-san a driver for Mr Amemiya.
He brought it over from Japan I picked it up in San Fransisco.
It wasn't 2k it was around $1400.
Im the owner of the Black Turbo 2 with the RE FC 2000 under Luiml73's pics, and like he said I bought that kit at the end of 2 years ago at $2,000.00 plus shipping which was $150.00 bucks by trucking , at the end of this year its going to be three years I have had that kit. So yes they have dropped in price alot.

Just to let you know your ride doesent look like mine cause you dont have the Border side skirts, and rear caps like I do, and I got the new RB Full Exhaust System.
Not to mention the fact that Im rollin on Racing Heart Type C2's 18x9 rear by 18x8 front, connected to JIC Coilovers. And my car does not have the moldings on the doors, nor on the rear bumper, and my side skirts, and rear skirts were all molded into the car to make it look stock, not to mention to look diffrent from the rest. But Edmound your ride looks good, just get some nice rims, and your set, and also some coilovers, let me tell you coilvers make the car, you just got to drive it and see it to appreciate it
