There aren't many places, but here's the most complete list.

erebuni front lip only

K.O.R.E. Motorsports (Front Lip only for now)

HDK Auto Sport (Poor Product Quality and Bad Customer Service)

Since the kits are imported from either Australia or Korea, the prices are about 1200-1400 delivered to your door. If you pick up the kit in Southern California though, the price is about 150 dollars cheaper.

Just some helpful info. If you plan on getting a kit, make sure that it is not made of fiberglass. I install the erebuni kit on my car and have had nothing but trouble. The fiberglass kits are very fragile and have problems with cracking with just the smallest about of presure as well as chipping.

Its all personal opinion. The majority of body kits out there are fiberglass. Each have advantages and disadvantages.

I agree that what you like is the opinion of the buyer but I have also delt with both fib and urothane???? I think I can close to the correct spelling. I have at one time bump a curb ever so slightly and ended up cracking a small portion of the kit. On the other had a frind of mine with the uro kit backed into a parking blockade and bent the kit under itself with only minor scratches where the kit touched the pole. Your right my opinion but I just want to make sure that people are forwarned about the upkeep on a fib kit.
