Who makes this absolutely BEAUTIFUL headlight and body kit?????

This is by far the nicest headlight conversion I have ever seen- The whole freakin car is beautifull! It blends together perfectly. Looks Italian!
Anyone know who makes it so I can sell my house and get it?
I want a bigger pic too... Where can I get one so I can wallpaper my livingroom with it!- of course If I sell my house I won;'t have a livingroom..... OK, I'll sell my spleen.

Ditto on RUN Racing. It's nice, but wouldn't be my first choice. Take a look at the KnightSport FC2001 F bumper:

Run Racing is the correct answer.
I hope you realize this is from Japan.
I also hope you realize that you're talking about US$10,000 worth of fiberglass when it finally reaches your door.
Add another several grand to have it molded and installed on your car...

I've seen that frontbumper at a vendorssite, I must have the url somewhere at my work. I will look for it on monday. I know they asked $2000 for the frontbumper with the headlights.

I think its around $5k from rxecret7.
Still a lot, then bodywork, not too much if its a quality kit which one would expect.

*edit*
nix that, just check rxecret, $7200
Must've been $4500 from Japan i was thinking about.

Well rxecret7.com charge an arm and a leg for shipping. Their prices are just for the product, the product is still in Japan so you have to pay all the shipping from there which is alot. My friend was ordering the Knightsport front end for like $700 and then they wanted $600 or so more for shipping. They need to stock some over here and lower the shipping costs.

I wasa quoting for the entire kit.
I've re-read the original poster's post, and they only mentioned the front bumper - OOPS!
I find it weird if you're going with an aftermarket front bumper and leave everything else stock!

Well you can get sideskirts from somewhere else cheaper. Most of them look the same, not too aggressive. And there are alot cheaper ones around.

rx7fashion told me $100 for freight to California in their e-mail reply for the same nose. Have him try there...

Some more pics:

I believe this kit costs less than $5000 complete and as you can tell is VERY SWEET. It's cheaper then going with mariah's wide body kit/conversion.

Run racing is the manufacturer. Aerodyne can import this for you:

Sorry to go against the grain on this one but I think that front end is terrible looking. Im in love with the Knight Sport 2001 and the Re Amemiya FC2000 front bumpers.

Geezz..... I origionally posted this thread, and now that I see beter pics of it, I really have changed my mind. I like the side flares, and rear bumper, but the psrt that really drew me was the lights. I the pic I had (beginning) they matched the car much better, but now that I see those, I think that is the worst part of the kit.... still looking now.
That red car that is in a few of these pics is the only one I like. I think it's because of the different hood, it's shaped to the lights instaed of leaving the rear seams of the pop ups (F-ugly!!)

I don't like it. In order to use the stock hood, you have to cut the popup headlights? That sucks. I don't think it really follows the lines of the FC.

I'd imagine you'd want to remove the seems behind the headlights.

I think this kit looks a bit better than the other recessed headlight kits myself.
