I would do some more research if I were you and heed what the others are saying here. On the web site, all 4 pieces cost 210,000 Yen. That's $1700 at today's exchange rate. Pretty expensive experiment!

a quick question... (mine is the blk one at the top)...

i am starting to experience some waviness in the side skirts... it's not very noticeable from up close, but from far away, the bottom is distinctly bulging!!... any comments/thoughts/ or HELP!!!...

other then that, the kit is great... i think it really works with the car!...

1RandyC and Tam S2,

Regarding the front BYS lip, is it as weak as the rest of the kit? And also, are you able to see any "waviness", or imperfections in the paint for the front lip? Thanks!

TAM S2, nicely done on the installation of the kit which was pain in the ass for me. I can confirm with you that there isn't anything you can do about the horrible waivy original surface finish of the side skirts. You just have to live with it.

HeNeSSeY, you can rest easy that the front piece that you are looking for comes ok in surface finish. However since your car is lowered pretty good, I am afraid you may tear it apart at once if you ever make mistake and have the spoiler come in contact with the ground.(you know, off-road, speed bump, incline driveway...etc.) That is why I am not too much fan of the stick-on aeros anymore, they are just way too filmsy and if something happens it is first thing to break apart. Try to go with direct replacement like your C-west kit.

Guess how the kit comes packaged?
It comes with so called instruction(I know you really don't need it but..) with hand drawings done seemingly by a child and the kit doesn't have any prep work done like holes drilled to get the fastening screws to position properly, so you have to do it yourself. I hate product like this, you pay good deal of money and still you are not even close in having it put on the car when you buy the kit, you probably have to put more money, time and effort to get it ready to put on your car the way it suppose to.
