quick question about xenon kit.

I was just wondering if the xenon back was an add on lip or a whole bumper replacement [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

i just got my type RS front (which has a close resemblance to the kaminari front) nd needed some sides and a rear to go with them. I'm either going to get kaminari or xenon sides and rear, would any of those look awkward with type rs lip.

comments please

well since the rs lip resembles the kaminari kit I think the sides and back would go well together. I'm not sure about the xenon sides and rear i think the kaminari sides and rear would be nicer.

I think the kanimari would be nice too, but it is sorta becoming a money issue and i need to see what i can afford.

i already have a type r lip kit painted at my house, big waste of $600, just sitting in the garge that no one nts to buy

The xenon rear is the whole bumper, the kaminari rear lip is probably cheaper though.

yoh guy, there's a recessed part on the edge of the lip where you're suppose to put the double sided sticky tape. didn't it come with directions?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

sounds to me like its a lip.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I gonna see what my friend can hook me up with before I make my decision.

Anyone if they make the xenon rear in fiberglass?

I've herd horror stories around here (where i live) about poly urethane, heat from the exhaust, and paint chipping off, things i don't want to deal with.

The rear of the kit is only the lip, not the full bumper replacement. I have a picture of my kit before it was painted just so you can see what it looks like.
