Wow...hey it's actually great that you did that. I've been wondering about the exact difference forever. Now if only someone would compare the Kenstyle front to the KurumaZ or Greddy.

Bottom line, my rear bumper looks like an orange peel, and when they supposedly "re-sealed" the gas filler, it looks like a two year old smeared play-doh around the filler with his finger. And this is after having a State Farm guy come out and inspect the job they did and sending it back. Two times there, almost 5 weeks with a rental, them making me pay for the rental the second time (state farm BLOWS!), Winslow saying "yeah, it'll be done today" a bunch of days in a row. . .pssssh. . .place makes me sick.

However, I've decided on JMI and I am doing a paint graduation on the vents from Carbon to Pearl White and am confident that JMI is the perfect place to take it to as they have a ton of experience working with import show cars.
