^^That kit is a tad over 9,000 all included. It's the SL BS replica kit from NR auto.

This will require a lot of prep and fitment work though.
I got a better offer that a workshop nearby the downtown have. Which they said they will install BS kit, and paint it with 10,000 only :/

ang thanks for the info. :p

The VS is not my cup of tea. If you want to go REAL crazy and different, which no one on this forum let alone in the US has, get the VITT kit.

that kit is too insane, but i really like it. As you said it's different than others . Do you have any idea what's their official web site? And if they're really going to send me the kit, because you know there are many scammers around.

But I feel there's something wrong with the kit if you look at it from the side. Like the car body is not smooth :/ or am I wrong?

It's an extremely aggressive kit with sharp angles, so it's gonna be a little hard to make it look smooth lol. Their website is http://www.vitt.jp/Aero/SQUALO/SL_R230/SQUALO-R230.html

They are a pretty big company in japan that regularly attend car shows, so I highly doubt they will scam you. The pricing is pretty steep as well. I converted from yen it comes out to about $25k and that's without shipping! Maybe if you talk to them directly, you might be able to get a better price.

the price is tough a little bit x_x, like it doesn't worth it spend 25K only on body kit

I love that body kit, it doesn't change it too much, do the wheels come with it.

Thats the Prior Deaign SL kit. I bought the bonnet from that kit and finally have had it installed on the car. Will post pics later this week. The vents are very discrete from certain angles but from others it looks quite aggressive
