no more OEM, here comes kaminari
Well, everyone is out of the OEM kit, and I'm not waiting. I'm going with the kaminari kit. I have been getting quotes for $500-$600 to paint it. I have a friend who owns a paintshop, but I haven't talked to him yet. The more I look, the more I don't like the OEM. MooCow's ride is awesome.

Rep Power: 419 I tend to agree. The only thing I don't like on the Kaminari is those thingies on the sides in the rear. They're okay, but they look crooked. Anyway, OE bodykit sucks. It's way too common and it's way too bland. A ton of people like it though. Oh well...

Rep Power: 0 Just ordered it. should be here on Friday or Monday. 730 to my door from impactparts.com. Anyone know if the kaminari wing uses the same mounting holes as the OEM spoiler?

Rep Power: 0 Yeah I am getting the Kaminari side, rear, and going with the Xenon front bumper. Around here everyone has the Xenon body kits or the OEM kits. Now I have to decide on the exhaust system for my little girl. Post some pics of your car when you get everything done

Rep Power: 0 Speaking of which, what do you guys perfer now, the new Kamanari Front replacement bumper or the old style air dam.
Since they came out, I'm undecided to which Kamanari Front I'm getting.

Rep Power: 0 I'm trying to decide the same thing. I like the idea of a full bumper replacement, but the pics of the new bumper on the Kaminari site don't really do anything for me. I wish they would have just molded the original lip into an OEM style bumper, that would have been cool. At this point I'd stay with the lip. I'd like to see more pics.

Rep Power: 0 i like the lip too. more agressive than OEM, but less obvious then the bumper replacement. what do you guys think of the ram air hood? my kit should be here today. Now I just can't decide whether the OEM wing will still look okay on my car. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
