I am getting so frustrated trying to find one for myself its rediculious. The only kits that we can really get all suck and the good ones are from Japan. This is what I found out, if you are looking to get something nice be prepaired to spend a **** load of money to have it shipped over seas.

Hmmm, I don't think every kit available is bad... in fact, I think most of the Japanese kits looks like crap. They're overdone with scoops, vents, lights, and other little inconsitencies that ruin the look of the car. Then it just looks like some riced out import.
Get a kit that's sleek and simple, with no exaggerations. I found mine no problem, and people think my car is a "Porsche" or "Blue Ferrari" it looks so smooth. Keep it simple! Don't be victim to stupid Japanese trends... not only will you waste lots of money, your car will look like a souped up Honda Civic.

The Mariah front end has a HUGE FMIC/radiator opening, funtional brake ducts, and a repalacement plastic belly pan the routes the air underneath the car. I would have it already if I wasn't broke.

I feel the same that a good kit is hard to find. I do like the Erebuni one though. But the only other thing I've seen not from Japan is basically just adding a straight lip. If you want to get extreme then you should look into a wide body kit from Mariah. Otherwise you almost have to import or find a body shop to do custom work. Both of which can get quite expensive. If you haven't seen them already here are the links:

Go to:

It's CASE SENSETIVE as well, so the link has to be exactly like above. Then, change the number [01] up to [02] and all the way up to [14] to see all the images.
Example:

BTW, I certainly don't think my car looks like a Porsche or Ferrari, but less educated car enthusiasts don't know the difference unless they see cars side by side. You know how it is...

I agree. That has to be the PHATTEST kit i've ever seen for a 7. I despise those ridiculous "shogun" and "wide mouth" kits. If you wanna hole in your bumper, you dont need to pay $1000 to do it. But that kit looks REALLY sweet. I'd like to know where you got it and how much you paid for that. The car looks amazing, bud.

Thanks. I spent months and months looking at body kits, phoning companies all over the world getting information on prices, fit/finish, and out of everything I saw for the FC, I like the kit I have the best. Heck, that's why I bought it!!!
It's made by Kaminari Aero [www.kaminari.com] and it's the 86-88 kit, I didn't like the 89-91 kit. Anyway, check it out -- I bought everything used:
-front skirt 200
-rear skirt 200
-side skirts 250
-rear wing 200
That's a whopping $850 USD, but then it cost me about $400 to ship it all, but that's another story. Now the reason I bought the kit used was because Kaminari had a fire, and the mould for the rear skirt was destroyed, so you can't get it anymore. I wanted the whole kit, so that's why I found a used one. Anyway, if you have any questions, just PM me.
