Hey you're in Oakland? I live pretty close to there, I have that kit, just not on my car yet =P. It's fiberglass, feels tough though. When you got your JDM Front, where'd you get your bodywork done?

I used to love that lip ..til my opinion of fiberglass was changed. I dont think I would ever put another piece of fiberglass on my car..no matter how cleaned it looked. Not because of fitment so much..just cause of the maintenence from the rock chip you get from driving.

I did the work myself, my father and I restore old alfa romeos and we have all the tool we need to do everything, very convenient
hey and how much did you pay and where did you get it? I just saw a guy yesterday roll through chinatown with that setup...

Nice, I wish I could do the work myself too, but don't have the tools or the knowledge. I paid just a lil over 2 g's for the whole jdm front used, and it came with the kit. Idunno how much the kit would cost on its own, maybe 400 or something? I got the stuff down in Socal cuz I go to school here, and I only return to the bay once in a while these days.

So your dad restores old Alfa Romeos? His shop wouldn't happen to be in Kensington/Berkeley would it? Theres this lot on Colousa that has 3 or 4 old AR roadsters just chillin there for as long as I remember.

Anyway, the kit looks nice, and its your choice in the end. I'd say get it if you think it looks nice (I do but I'm biased ). Now if only I had some money to put everything on my car...
