I am contemplating it too...match my j's lip with bys sideskirts and rear bumper (no wing)
I like how the vents in the rear bumper match the vents in my CF Hood...

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but please listen to me as I have experienced with the BYS kit before. I was probably the first one to get the kit eon's ago in the state. This kit can be really a nightmare to body shop people. The kit is made of flexible Urethane kit and if you don't watch out it can develop crack right even during installation.
It is very light weight due to how thin the material is and hence it will crack easily if you are not careful.
If you are not going to drive the car with the kit on, it is fine as long as done right, but if you are going to drive around then expect very short life expectancy.
Anyway, here is couple of my photos dug out when I had the kit.




Notice on this photo, I don't have the rear piece anymore, because I ripped it out from frustration.

Don't get fooled with the angle of the rear piece pictured above.
It may look pretty good from that angle, but from directly behind, it looks weirdout of place and doesn't go well with S2000 behind.

If you still want the kit, I am not going to stop you. Just make sure you have good body shop doing the work for you and have good connection with the shop.
