Your stuck in the middle bud. You can get a body kit for $375 but it probably will be ****. There are a million online places to shop for body kits. What your is your car? If its 94-97 why not just do the 98+ conversion w/ a type R lip? 10x better looking than any body kit. Just another opinion............

http://www.visracing.com maybe a little higher in price, but the quality is a hell of a lot better and fitment is close to perfect.

Close to perfect? LOL. VIS?

Perfect fit is OEM. Very good fitment are not replica kits made by VIS. Their fit varies.

you are always going to have to make some type of altercations to an after market kit, its unavoidable. i have seen kits from many different companies and VIS has always come with the least amount of altering. thats where my close to perfect fittment comment came from. sorry it wasnt a 100% accurate nor was it JDM.
