Hey gtnpu z, I noticed earlier that the ride side rear was making a clunking noise when I went over bumps at a low speed. I checked it out and everything is nice and tight so Im not sure what it is. I checked the springs and it seems that the left side rear is about 0.5 more compressed then the right side. I called GSC and greg siad to leave it alone and let it settle. You have any simliar problems?
Hmm? Never heard that kind of sound before when I installed mine. I have heard, however, springs more compressed on one side than the other & it simply went away after a while. I believe it was an Eibach spring & it was more compressed on the right side. You might want to search these forums since that's where I read it from. If it continues for more than a week, I'd double check your install. Perhaps something is not seated/tightened properly.

COOL! I think that lip and side look the best. The only problem Im having is what it would look like with the 20's. The rims on that car are 19's. Anyways let me know if you get a price.
I'm sure it'll look fine. The difference with ours is that since we ar running on 20's, we don't have to lower it as much thus giving more room to slap on a kit which won't hang down as low. I've posted a wanted ad under the "Vendor Wanted" section so feel free to check in once in a while. Haven't had any response yet though . I'm also sending PM's directly to the vendors as well as searching other alternatives. I'll keep you posted. If you have better luck, let me know .

OK cool. I was also looking into the nismo front with those sides or possibly the ings n-spec kit. I grew tired of the vizage and the rest are too much for my taste. Hope you get some hits on that kit.

Nice! Yeah, I'm personally looking for a nice "clean" look with smooth flowing lines. I was also considering the Ings N-spec as well. Loved the sides & the rear bumper of that kit. Careful on the Nismo though, since there are now 2 flavors out there. One JDM & one USDM. Besides material, the JDM is a little less aggressive especially on the sideskirts & it comes with a "full" bumper. The USDM, is a bit more aggressive & uses a half lip much like the Vertex. Just a heads up.

Yeah, you're definitely going to pay more than 750 if you're going to go with the Do-Luck kit. All I have to say is, I want my car to look as clean as ACP's Vertex DB w/ 20's!!! Simply sweet!!! Well, in his case "ZWEET" !!!
