You can get them by contacting most any korean retailer. However, you need to know how to speak korean.
Kspec can get you this body kit, you have to e-mail them and specifically ask them for it. Try this first.
Italtib2yk (I think thats his name), on this forum is supposed to be a Genie body kit dealer. He may be able to get what you are lookign for.

Just a warning about the Genie kit. That big front opening comes a price. Removal of the front plastic crash bumper (or at least removal of about 75% of it).
The kit is also VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY low. It was intended for use on drag only cars. At stock ride height, you only have 2-3" of ground clearance. If you have lowering springs/coilovers, don't even think about it.
The kit is very THIN fiberglass. It is made for light weight, not strength. One or two minor scrapes/bumps and it will crack/break.

sup man, just understand what Tony is trying to warn you about... you say that it's all about PERFORMANCE, than I can only guess this will be a TRAILERED car??? if so I understand, but getting it up that trailer will be a mission...
But as tony said, if you even want to consider driving it in the STREET you can just forget it, unless where you live there are no potholes, and you never have to go up anything, or you're putting AIRBAGS(which will not be performance anymore)

Plus you can reinforce that kit after youve fitted it to the car first.

however, upon looking at the first picture, the kit doesn't seem that low. Not to mention if you look at the fender wells, it does seem lowered.
Trust me, I have the front end. It's sitting in my garage, and I've test fitted it several times. It's only 2.75" off the ground at STOCK RIDE HEIGHT.however, upon looking at the first picture, the kit doesn't seem that low. Not to mention if you look at the fender wells, it does seem lowered.
Look at the clearance in this photo.
Unles you are going to trailer it, forgetabout it.
