The factory aero package is pretty nice, I think it's hard to find anything that tops the original designs.

First off, beware replicas. They aren't the greatest fitting.

The GOOD JApanes ones.

Full Kits and Lips:

RE-Amemiya of course
GP Sports
Msports

BN Sports
Panspeed
R-Magic
Knightsports
Odula
FEED
Chargespeed

I just wanted to list the names. Maybe the other guys have pics of them. I have the GP Sports Kit on one of mine, RE-A on the other, and a Chargespeed lip similar to FEED on my GTUs.

GP SPorts STOCK FENDERS:


GP Sports WIDEBODY:


RE-A:


Then there's Tripoint and Mariah also. My other FC has tripoint like this, old school but WIDE:





I'll take a pic of the GTUs Lip this weekend when i get a chance.

WE have the GP Sports Full kit in stock, FYI. If you're interested. It's a pretty penny, but still half the price of the RE-A kit.

Wow, where do you get that RE-A kit?

but still half the price of the RE-A kit.
And does it cost a fortune?

It is definitely a Fortune. Depending on the Yen exchange rate, the full kit including the CF Canards on the front bumper, the CF GT Wing, the Ram air intake duct for the headlight, and the CF Rear Diffuser. Of course, Front Bumper and side skirts was near a good $4500-$5000.00.

Alls I know is i traded like 60 CASES OF REDLINE OIL. hehe. It was a barter with a good friend in Japan. If you're interested in it I can check for you.

I just fell in love.
I am getting into the fiberglass fabrication myself, and I have been wanting to do this, but I hadn't seen any pictures to see how it would look. That just defines sexy. I will be doing this to my car. Anyone who wants to do the same thing, but without a time table, wait. I will be doing my car pretty soon here, when I finish it, I will post pics, and be selling them.

I just can't get over how good that looks. *drools on keyboard*

Actually this is a big mis conseption that the kits wont fit up right, and you will have big gaps, and the kits gonna fall off but its all about who evers doing the fitting. If the person is a professional that fits kits every day then it will look like my car but if you have your 18 friend do it from instructions he got off the internet it will look like ****.

Heres my gpsports knock off kit from ebay. The car is still in project stage but just look at how the front bumper matches up perfect.

Here's the "knockoff" on our site:

http://www.autornd.com/catalog/index...331decf107eaf6

I agree it depends who is installing it. The authentic GP kit is thicker and predrilled. It can be done on your own. Whereas the replica may require a professional.

Woah, forgot about the Tripoint kit. If I run out of room for tires, I'd definitely put that at the top of the list. Tripoint widebody kit, S5 bumpers, CCWs...

Hell, even looks good with the stock S4 bodywork and a Knightsports wing. Probably my favorite modified FC:

god i love that ***.
there is mariah but its 5k not including hood or tail but its like... 9 or 10 pieces and good quality. a friend in cali was saying how its just a lil to wide in the back though, a friend who has seen the red mariah fc.
i'd get the mode 6 with the mode5 tail if i had 10k to put into kit and paint and instalation
(but i think i'll be happy with this one

This is my favorite, looks the best on a convertible. Looks exactly like the $650 ebay ones.

final konnexion in jahpahn has a kit that is similar to the GP Sports kit. The main difference is on the rear bumper. There's only one exhaust outlet.

For the one side exhaust exit thing, the GP sports has 2 cut outs, but comes with 2 spacers to put up in them if you only have one side exit. Guessing that guy just molded in the other one.

I was actually thinking of combining two kits the mariah mode six widebody and the front bumper of the RE kit with the flush mount headlights. I havent seen it done but i think it would look pretty sweet with the widebody and no side moldings with flush mount headligts and just a carbon fiber NA hood since the vent will no longer be needed for the top mount intercooler. then top it off with a perfectly done black paint would be amazing and the plan for my car.
