Default RE: what did you do?

i got my kit paitned for $200 by a real good friend, i think he made me just pay for supplies thouhg, so expect to pay quite a bit. And a type-r grill you could probably get a can of paint # matched paint from Autozone and prime/paint/clear coat it yourself since its so small. I got my Type-R grill off ebay and was really happy with it, but dont get a body kit off ebay, look for a nice polyurethane kit, a fiberlgass one will crack really easily and fitment will probably be really bad

i would get the lip kit personally because for 1) it will be cheaper 2) less paint 3) looks a lot better than a body kit 4) keep the stock bumpers
i could keep going on and on.

+1. lip kits look way better then body kits imo. body kits look so rice and lip kits keep a slightly stock look, but still looks awesome at the same time. i know i sound like a tool but whatever! definitly everything that aryiman said.

I agree with the last 2 posts. Lip kit! Most of the time just a front lip will make a huge(but subtle) difference.
