If you're getting the Evo kit, don't lower your car....... cuz the front kit is very low & huge!! 100%....... trust me

My car is already lowered with Tein s-tech springs

I hope where you live it is very very flat with few potholes then. The evo kit lowered the front lip on my car by allmost 3 inches.

Wow! Maybe I'll put on my 18" Volk back on if I get the Evo kit

If you don't care and are just proud of the work you've done, then go for it and post 'em afterwards, but like I said... consider yourself warned.

Thanks for the info. I"m still debating

That kit is the ugliest POS ever!!!!!! You are better off taking a crap and rubbing that crap on your car, that's how bad that kit is.

How damaged are the front "fangs"? If they are repairable then buy a new bumper cover, paint it and re-attach them. The bumper cover shouldn't cost you over $200 and getting it back to original should still be cheaper than this kit you're looking at. And being that you DID ask for opinions I just gotta say that personally I don't think any car's foglights should be bigger than the headlights unless one is contemplating desert rally racing in Dakar at night. Plus I agree with SMAN, just by looking at the picture that kit will be scraping at every construction zone, sudden stop and railroad crossing you'll come into contact with. I've seen some nice kits made for other cars that are very admirable but then I see it flapping in the wind at highway speeds or over slight bumps which ruins the whole effect for me. I have yet to see an aftermarket kit for a mass produced car that was designed so well that it didn't bend and flop around like an overdosing crackhead. My 2¢.

It might not end up very cheap. You have to add the cost of all the antidepressants you'll need to take to deal with all the folks pointing and laughing at your car. Then figure on a bottle of windex each week to clean the monster fog lights. Plus the cleaning bills from people that hurled from the sight.

j/k man. If you like it that's all that matters... but every year the consensus of hte SG consortium is that it's pretty ugly up front. Maybe sides and back with a stock lip kit for the nose?

That kit looked like it came from the NFS underground game, it is ridiculous in looks and it makes the car more square looking.

That Evo kit ruins the luxury look of the car and replaces it with the poser look.

here is a pearl white solara with the evo kit( aww, sick! Gross!:
