Well, the Inspired Motorsports one is pretty nice, but I don't like the skirts.

Here are some pics of ones in Japan on a UA2:




That's the Value Sports kit that CGray here has. This guy added rear fogs, though, as that's not part of the kit.

I was really considering getting a kit for a while, but the more I look at a clean 1G they really don't look that bad stock (the 3.2 more-so than the 2.5). The good lip kits are few and far between, if anything I will keep it simple with a front lip and a small spoiler.

They are rare.

I would try eBay and even the Yahoo Japanese auction.

They shouldn't be that much. Normal retail is around $200.

You can try to contact TLxRacer here on the boards, as he made some through his own company for $150 a pair. They're a little bigger than I like, but they still look pretty nice.

~Cheers~

NO WAY! ME TOO!!!

Anyway...

I painted the side skirts the color of the car and it made the car look lower.

Then I'm looking for a 3.2 bumper to put on because it has the extra flare at the bottom of the bumper.

IMO it will look as if it has a kit.

Then I just need to find and exhaust or exhaust tips.

I tried that.

IMO it looked like shit.

I had it black and it looked ok. Then I painted it and it was

That is the worst $70 that I have ever spent on my car.

I threw the damn thing away like 3 weeks ago.

I tried it and then tried to sell it 3 times on craigslist and got nothing so I said f it and threw it away.

Just get the 3.2 bumper, paint your side skirts and you are good IMO.

If you are trying to keep it clean and simple, then go with what I mentioned.

GL though.
