best way i can put it:

CONS:
front end is a little to exhadurated.... too much slope on the nose and the center area is too empty... it needs either a vent/scoop, and its got droopy eyes around the headlights.

sideskirts stick out like it was ment to be with a widebody kit... the only thing missing is the widebody front and rear

i like the fenderflare idea, but it just doesnt really fit the car W/O a widebody kit

back end is a little over the top, looks too much like the carcept supra back end.

PROS:
i LOVE what they did with the turn signals!
I'm likeing what they did with the scoops in back of the rear wheels
setup for dual exhaust, european design naturally  smile.gif
is that the JDM/euro model license plate piece?? its awsome!
great sideskirt design!

since im hopefully going to make kits in the future, this is what i would change if i were to make a similar kit to this:

FRONT:
raise the area around the headlights up to normal position
increase the angle of decent on the front end
widen the front air ducts area a tad (1/2 between that and the combat front)
keep what they did with the turnsignal
add a GT-4 vent inbetween the high beams

SKIRTS:
the only thing i have a problem with is when they stop and the rear 1/4 pannel starts, make the skirt a little more flush.

REAR:
lose the little grippy looking center piece at the bottom, or turn it into your license plate holder
other than that it isnt bad

anyone know a price on this kit???

About 500 Euros for each component (front, rear,sideskirts + wheelarch extensions)
See link below for conversion to US dollars

And yeah its a european design license aperture,the JDM design is square.
Thats the only dislike I have about my Jap GT4, I wish it had the euro design
license spacing.

Man, that's almost $2000 USD for a body kit, which I don't even like all that much. For that price, I'd import part of a JDM Celica kit and part of a JDM Curren kit.

Yeah I have to agree, problem is wherever you import a kit from in the world it will cost an arm and a leg especially with import duties etc.

It would take something special to make me spend that kinda money..

The front is horrible!
But the rest of the kit is okay.

I Really like the fender flare sections but they kinda remind me of a Civic.

The rear air dam is really cool but the MR2 exhaust has to go.

I'm not from the US, and as far as I know Carcept don't have a dealer/agent
in the UK so import duties would apply to me, as for the rear bumper I agree,
I think its the best part of the kit, thats why I made the enquiry with Karin at
Carcept,

The side and the back are o.k but the front needs to lifted a little....imo. The front reminds me of TOP SECRET kit.

this kit does nothing for me...the spoiler is the only thing worth keeping. i think i'd rather leave my car stock than have this kit. i keep telling people to stop playing with fiberglass after smoking crack.

The kit's pretty nice, from an angle at the front it makes it look more like a supra
