well, i just got my kit in last week. so far all i have on is the front bumper and fogs. the bumper fit like a charm, as expected.and because i needed to take it to my bodyshop where they can give me a better quote looking at the quality of the kit. he told me he was actually really impressed. but just an fyi for those interested in this kit, the fogs(i believe) are fogs from another toyota or something from japan. what led me to believe this was that it had the usual koito markings and stamps of R for right and L for left. and second: when looking through the projector itself, the cutoff shield is backwards for jdm cars. and third, it uses an 9006 bulb, which comes with 2 DriveJoy 12V 55W bulbs. anyways, had to make a harness from my brothers old vcv10 headlight harnesses to adapt to the bulbs and existing foglight harness. man it was a headache thinking about the options. i remember searching about this kit a long time ago where someone had asked how much lower this makes the car, well, here it is. because i was curious myself. now it fills out the car more, instead of having that DUB styling that it was looking like.
well enough rambling:
This is before with stock bumper

after with AC bumper

and close up of fogs


and this shot i really like

sorry, no side shots yet, it is too dark.

thanks guys and gals. im hoping that its going to look just classy and nice. much like the AC demo car, but with color and more vip influence.

555 - there are more pics of the trafficstars in the wheels n suspension forum. just do a search. you better not copy my wheels. theyve been branded with charley on em. jk. nice wheels, but a bit bland i think. a little bit. but still love em. just wanted something that nobody really had yet.

anyways, im taking my car to the shop this upcoming monday. i hope that nothing goes wrong.
btw, VSC'ers you guys are great, learned so much from you guys.
wish me luck
Charley
