Prices are here in this link:

http://www.ronjonsportdesign.com/tlkit.html

Search for many pics posted on this site, even in my sig. This all boils down to money and preference. I feel like RJ style is more unique and less of it out there and so grabs more attention then the ASPEC hence I went this route. This is not to say that ASPEC doesnt look good.

I'm always with Elegant on this question. You just cannot be the RonJon kit. It's very distinctive, not many have it and you just can't beat it for looks.

Honestly, I didn't like the RJ kit when I saw pics of it, but after seeing elegant's car, WOW, it looks amazing! Pictures don't do it justice. Also he added foglights to the RJ bumper(which it doesnt have spots for) and it looks perfect.

I guess it depends on what color you have, he has black, and it rocks

I think the RJ kit looks very good.

However, for example, on a black car, it would look much better if the grille inserts were also black.

Actually, the "street" prices for the kits are more like $1,200 difference. You can get an 3G "A-Spec" kit for cheap but you can't get a RonJon cheap unless you find someone trying to return their car to stock. RonJon is quite nice but one of the reasons they haven't sold more is because of the significantly higher pricetag.

Yup.. right on! Thanks for the comments guys. The price tag is what makes the kit exclusive and keeps the uniquness going. Also I'm not going to lie.. fitment is not 100%.. I would say its 80% ask other RJ owners their opinion on this and I would think they would say the same thing. Now the fitments issues are minor and I didn't post it here to scare you, but I want to be honest and let this thread be informative. Would I do it again.. HELL YES .. because I love it. But if you are a anal perfectionalist... just try to see one in person before committing.

For example a certain small section at the end of the side skirt is held in place with double side tape. That section slightly lifts up at certain times by half an inch.. no biggie. Thats just a small example.

And I agree, the kit looks 100x better in person.

Yup your absolutely right.. and that's why I changed it to the better grill and threw in custom mounted fogs.

Here's a pic before fogs:




And here's one after I changed it up with the black grill and fogs:




And lets not forget the REAR .. haha.. !

I asked Rondy that same exact question and to answer it, Yes. Send them an email and he'll let you know the cost per piece.

you had to put the regaler muffler on to put the back kit on your car because i see your car is a s type but you have the base type muffler
