Oh man, that thing screams for some 22" floaters and a 3" drop! Yeah, and limo-tint!
Even without these necessary improvements, the car sure looks great in the photos. Nice work. I can't wait to see your photo-DIY if you produce one.

the front is a wrap on over kinda deal.... no cutting necessary..... unlike the 07+ type S front underbody spoiler where u have to remove the original lower grill....

How do the front and rear valances mount to the car? Both would cover some "bumper unpleasantries" (from backing into a stump, and curb scrape).
I really like the rear valance, and the front has grown on me.
Not sure about the side sills, though. Would the kit look weird without the side sills, no spoiler, and stock wheels? One would get to keep their splash guards by leaving the stock sills.
Do extend those tail-pipes!

Hello JNC what is live cash back?
Thanks
Thanks
Yeah the link isnt working, I'll call tim later and see what he says as to where I can find the files.
As far as price, I shopped around and the best price that I was able to get for kit was $1200 shipped. A couple of days ago an acura dealer out of GA posted the rear lip as it was the last piece they had sitting in store inventory, I called to see if they had the whole kit in Celestial silver and they indeed did, I had the parts manager set up a private listing for the kit yesterday for $825 plus $50 shipping, with the buy it now I was able to use Microsoft Live Cashback for 11% and bring the final cost to $785 shipped.

^^ Indeed, it use to be a rebate and as much as 35% around xmas time but these days it fluctuates between low teens to hi teens.
As far as did I cut the bumpers to make the front lip and rear one fit then yes per the instructions.
The lips did indeed cover a bunch of small nicks and scratches that the bumpers had in the past.
I might trade my GS300 for an 06 WDP RL that my local Volvo dealer has, if that trade goes through then I might do the headlights as soon as within the next couple of weeks, otherwise we'd just have to wait till I get a set of headlights through ebay.
If any of you guys can ship your headlights in for the work then I can cut my labor in half for the first set i.e. instead of $150 to clear/black out I can do the first set for $75, PM me if anyone is interested.

I can't ship my headlights cuz I need them to drive with at night, but I would pay 150 dollar rush charge and possible wait, since I'm down the street... 
Also, yeah, I don't think PIGS will bother you much for having clear headlights... They don't harrass much unless you're lookin for trouble, IMO...
BTW JnC, replacing or extending those OEM tips??

I have a better idea, I'll call you later today to go over the details. Lets try to achieve the JDM headlight look without shelling out any extra money.
