I know what some may say... Fuck knock offs but hey, I'm just trying to help my boys out and plus they gave it to me for free. No complaints because I know I'm just going to fuck it up anyways.

ssoooo... right now, I'm waiting to get the kit painted well actually, my whole car will be repainted a different color. Install more parts I have and I'm still waiting for more parts to be shipped in. Waiting for my new wheels too!

So many things to do but I've been swamped with work! on top of that I've been on a lookout for a 04+ LS430 UL, LX470, and a BMW M5 in Interlagos Blue with Portland Brown interior.

So yeah, I know my car is not Vip but I'm just trying to achieve a look I'll be satisfied with while people are going "daymmmmmm" . I know it looks blah right now but it'll look sick after I'm done.

I think that is pretty impressive for "level 1". Don't worry about the knock off thing, it is frowned upon here on the site but I give you props for being straight about it.......some peoples be saying I am running a JP rear and Fabulous Front (while not mentioning that they are knock offs).

You are fortunate to have "friends" that hooked you up with a lot of your parts. Keep updating with the new additions. Looking forward to your New Wheels. Also may I suggest Exhaust or atleast some Tips, think that it would make the rear look a lot better. Much Props nevertheless.

Sure it will look good because it is a knockoff of something that looks good. The reason knockoffs are looked down apon is not only to support the companies that keep VIP alive, it is also to preserve the culture here in the US. Once people start praising people with knockoff parts, it becomes acceptable by society and more people look for cheaper alternatives.

Don't take this as a personal attack because I don't intend it to be one. The car does look nice and it will turn heads on the street. I just repect the original companies that put in work to design these kits.

That looks like the Exclusive kit. I believe it had half bumpers like the Fabulous kit. How come it's missing the sideskirts?

It looks like bigger sides are needed to make up for the front lip. Was the kit pieced together or sold as a set?
