yeah they all come in silver or TI gray... you will always be painting your kit to match your car dummy... but if you do get the MS kit DO NOT paint the bottom lip to match leave it the blacked out.. LOOKS SOOOOO much better.. trust me..

charlie ill try man lol.. i jsut dont know how to.. get the bolt to get it off. ill take a wrench next time.. you want the mud flaps too right???

$1833.39 for just a front bumper seems a bit expensive when that doesnt even include shipping. But what do I know

their price also depends heavily on the current exchange rate so yea

I know when my truck got hit I couldnt take anything off because they appraise the vehicle AS IS. Such as I have a alpine headunit and I took it out and picked up my check for how much it was they were like where is the radio. So I had to put the oem headunit back in it. just my 2¢

That sucks so now that makes 3 of us though I think I was the only one to grab another 8. well good luck on the car hunt nate. and hopefully things work out for you as well masked. Seems like whenever I don't log on for a while I see nothing but bad news. Somebody shoot me a pm when we get a meet together. I need at least 2 weeks notice.

side note agreed the Real MS kits are crazy expensive so japanparts is spot on for the cost. same as everbody else just not worth that much.

I have the R1-t and I got it used w/ dents for 600.00 lol its an expensive exhaust you prolly wont find one for less than 700.00 shipped but get it if you can because it has by far the sexiest exhaust note ever lol....
