Jamie is right, they're common kits but "oh so nice" if you put it together correctly. Either way, sweet choices.

nothing wrong with a common kit though, its all about you liking whats on your car, and if you really care what other people think you can't go wrong with either of these.

altho i will say that both of these kits look a lot better with something filling in the gap in the front bumper like an intercooler or an ARC oil cooler.

I can always get a cardboard box, spray it silver, draw 'ARC' and call it a day. And probably never show my face on this forum again lol.

Dayum...you busted me out..that was with my next mod!!.


I'm sure the guys with AMUSE AND TYPE N kits will tell you...get something else. But if that is what you want...its your car bro.

haha Yeah, I know. I'd like to get to a meet soon, but with work it is really hard. It's been forever since I was out. I've got to keep an eye out for a weekend meet.

Thanks for the opinions. I opted to pass up the JP and Amuse. I'm just fickle like that...

Mods, feel free to delete this thread to save forum space.

Thanks!
