Kaminari or Xenon

Well its almost time to buy my body kit/lip kit and i was still haven't decided on which one to get. I like the Kaminari Lip Kit, and the Xenon Body kit. But i can't seem to decide on what to get. My car is going to be lowered in the next week so i need to decide on a body kit to put on. I have a 2002 Rallye Red 2DR with 18" Konig Prophets Opal. Let me know what everyone thinks. Also on the Xenon Kit, I would paint all the mesh black so that i don't have a silver mesh backing.

They are both about the same amount, give or take 10 or 20 dollars.

I prefer the Xenon. Yet, the Kaminari is a lip kit which would be easier to install.
All depends on your taste.

If you plan on putting your car back to stock in the winter then I would go with Xenon because of the front bumper replacement. You just take off the bumper and throw the stock one back on.

Also, I dont know why people consider the Xenon kit to be a full body kit..... the sides attach to the car just like any sides from any lip kit. The rear is also just a lip.... the only thing thats not a lip is a front bumper which IMO opinion is even easier to install and take off.

xenon...many many compliments...looks very nice when lowered cause the sides hang low and it gives you the slammed look....

Still haven't decided, i wish there was someone on here with the kit on rallye red would have a good picture so i can tell if i like it or not, there was one but i can't get a good sense if i like it or not, too bad i can't see any in person. If i did get the Xenon i would leave the mesh inside the front grill black, iunno yet, I'm leaning more to Kaminari though.

Have you also considered the Tsunami lip and/or kit? That's my favorite for the 01-03s.
