Rick of Real-Engineering had one of those for sale not too long ago, I think the top one.
And the bottom one looks like the front that Maier-April has.
Check the real-engineering section of the site.

Yeah, a search in our forums for "Body Kits" would show you all of that man.
That kit is the GENIUS kit.

I have the top kit.
It's called the Genius GTR front end.
Three things that you should know before attempting to buy this front end.
1. This kit will reduce your ground clearance to practically nothing. I have about 3 inches from the road to the bottom of the kit. Be prepared to pay constantly for fiberglass repairs. It's original design was not meant for the road, so it's alot to get used to.
2. After talking to Bradley awhile back, it seems as if this front end is discontinued. I'm not too sure about this, but one thing is certain, it's definetely not cheap. The price for the front end alone is the cost of a full good quality body kit. With the falling value of the dollar be prepared to pay more now.
3. It requires the removal of your front bumper. No bumper = heavy accident repair costs.
Other than that, this front end is simply amazing in terms of it's quality. The front end lined up to the body with no modifications what-so-ever. Personally, I have never seen so many fiberglass layers before than this kit.
Plus, it looks menacing.
sorry if there are grammer and spelling mistakes. It's hard for me to concentrate right now considering the amount of Nyquil I have in my system.

Yea I like the second one as well because of it looking a little more race-inspired, but keeping the stock look.
Maierapril - Thanks for the advice, ill be avioding that kit for sure.
REDZ - I found a couple posts about them, including the one about Rick may have that kit for sale. I just couldnt find a place to buy them or someone that would know.

i realy like the kit front but the back, something looks off, the fact that the back bumper is sooooo high up while the rest of the body kit is aligned much lower just looks weird.It looks like its cut higher then the stock bumper.

no, its a stock rd2 rear end. and it looks wierd because it wasn't designed for looks. It was designed 1st and foremost for the performance aspects, not looks. Check out the ground clearance of the side skirts.
