Tastefull choice for the front and rear. I agree with staying away from the side ones though Adam. Unfortunately, I don't know the source. Perhaps a message/request left at the owners CarDomain site might help.

that is the K-Max bodykit (front and rear) made by Aerogear somewhere in Asia. I've attempted to attain it through Nopi down in Atlanta, who forwarded me to their Canadian dealer in Toronto, but that deal disappointingly went awry due to humans at that dealership. i haven't attempted to negotiate bodykits ever since ... I've asked Corksport about this bodykit and they said they were looking into getting new styles through and thought that was one of them, but nothing new on their website now for 4 months ... the rear of this bodykit is spectacular. the sideskirts are Drift sideskirts, which i would replace with Scorpion sideskirts sold by Pakfeifer ... seeing that ur in Ontario, the name of Nopi's Canadian dealer is "Concepts on Wheels". if u try them, let me know the outcome ...

your correct, it is the kmax front and rear, i found it listed on the guys cardomain page.
Pakfeifer has the rear bumper for sale on their website but not the front.
i have heard of concepts on wheels before, i will deffently get in contact with them

that's the thing u consider before getting either a bodykit or springs. that's why i got height-adjustable Ground Controls
sucka
lame thing about bodykits, is that most people end up having to jack up the front neway coz its constantly scraping.
eg, 1.75" drop rear, 0.75" drop front. how lame is that? very.

That's very true. I posted my question about this earlier. I'm staying stock height for now, as I sometimes scrape the front on curbs, even taking them at various angles. I might have gone with a different front if I new this sooner. DUH!!
I think that car also has been lowered at least an inch. But no more than 1.5".

and they always warn u that if ur car is lowered with a bodykit, you'll have to take inclined driveways at angles. i never ran into this problem: what my lowered car had a problem with was now getting INTO MY GARAGE whose driveway was inclined DOWNWARDS into the garage. and it's barely even inclined ... i have to reverse into my garage everytime now. going the other way would make my radiator hit the garage floor no matter how slow u go. and it's very well "heard" ... another thing are those "thicker" speed bumps in parking lots which are meant as a pedestrian crossing: well, once the first two tires get over it, the middle part of the car's body scrapes against that bump until the rear wheels have their turn to go over ...

It's almost like gaining 100 pounds and trying to run the 110 meter hurdles. It's just not going to work. I sacrificed for the body kit so now I'm staying stock height.

If I plan on doing it later...I'll probably go 1.3" in the Front and 1" in the back with Eibach Springs.

Thats a Combat front bumper.. Not to sure on the fitment cuz its from ebay, but every kit should need a lil bit of customizin to make it fit properly..

look again. this is not the combat. not only is the lip much more exaggerated on this european bumper, but the front signal markers are accomodated differently than the combat... the combat = the aggressive, right? well, for the combat/aggressive, u have to use integra signals. the one shown above uses stock mx3 signals . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
