yeah I have to admit I'm going back and forth on this one, tech. $1k is a lot of change but I'll bet there's a big difference in fitment between OEM and aftermarket knock-off.
This mod will probably have to wait till next season. Hopefully by then there'll be a canadian vendor for this kit so I can save on shipping.

Have you look at the Mugen style ones available in Australia:

hahahaha.
Yeah tech I was considering the Mugen one as well but I'm not a big fan. I like the subtle look of the TypeS kit. The front of the mugen doesn't really flow with the lines of the car IMO and the rear skirt looks just like the stock bumper--there's nothing to the design. Oh, and don't get me started on that stuck-in the 90's massive rear wing....

Wow, Rawesome the kit looks great. Are you working on the side skirts? How much did the paint job end up costing you?
With the rear lip, you may want to be on a look out for a larger exhaust tip

Consider the price, the rear lip is not bad at all. With a larger exhaust it will look better proportioned. See the same lip on nesterjester from Australia with a better camera:

nice! i really like the rear, too bad there aren't any exhaust systems out for the car yet, i'm just planning on getting exhaust tips for now.
and to answer your question i got everything painted for $275. i basically got the whole kit for about $725 then. if the skirts don't fit properly though i might just end up buying the oem skirts which are going for $450 shipped i believe.

Well I have the OEM type S front lip and the Modulo/US Aero side skirts and rear bumper. The OEM Type S side skirt would have cost me over $800 shipped from Japan.

it's really a matter to "each their own" but i'm satisfied with this lip kit, especially for what i paid for it!
the side skirts i got are really bulky and it looks like nesterjester's but mine won't fit as well as his i'm pretty sure. i'll just have to install them and see.
next up, coilovers!

What part of the sides doesn't fit well? You got an amazing looking kit at an amazing price.
Do you know if your paint was "flex paint" meaning it will allow some flex from the skirt without chipping or cracking? I was advised to get this if going with aftermarket skirts.

it might just be me though but the side skirts flare out a lot more than i think it should, which makes it look ugly IMO.
