Kenstyle body kit

hello everyone. I had a few questions for all you 07+ sedan owners...

has anyone purchased the kenstyle front lip and rear corner pcs for the 07 sedan? I'm curious if anyone else has more pictures to share. This is my favorite kit, but wanted to see more pictures before making a purchase.

also it seems that it will take about a month to get the parts once you place the order! is there anyone that sells this kit that already has it in the united states?

how much should i expect to pay to have these parts painted?

thanks!

I've had mine installed for less than a week and having some fitment issues. My G has the adaptive cruise control module in the front and is causing issues with it sitting flush. It's pushing out the left side of the lip spoiler outwards even after bolting it on. Because of this, it's created a gap in both of the "tower" parts. The gaps have become a wind tunnel while driving and creates an annoying whirring sound (thought it might be the tires but I've only got 5k on them).
My installer said we could shave the back portion that's hitting the module so it sits properly. It will leave a minor gap but should, in theory, sit right.
Wish I could take pics but I'm so irritated by it and how ugly it looks, I'd rather wait til it looks acceptable.

Wow, sorry to hear that fred. I heard that Kenstyle had some quality stuff and fitment was second to none, being one of the main suppliers to Toyota and Nissan for body kit parts. I guess they didn't take into consideration the ACC module installed on that part of the bumper on the new G's...?

fred35,

from the photos on the internet the fitment looks great. They must have done something to get the fit to be better right? have you tried taking it somewhere to see if anything can be done to get an acceptable fit?

can you trim something to make the fit better? what option includes the adaptive cruise control? or does that come on all G sedans?

where did you buy? how much? and how long did it take to receive?

i really like the kenstyle lip. it's actually the only one i think i'd consider buying. the car looks like it's missing somethign without a lip.

anyhow, if you feel better, take a photo for us. maybe someone can help out too.

thanks!

I want Klumzyee to start making a replica kit of the Kenstyle 07 Sedan kit, thats when I'll buy it for my wife :-)

I also really like the NISMO, Tommy Kaira & Impul kits for the 07 Sedans.

Do you have pictures of your car with the Kenstyle?

Here are some pics I had. I wish Kenstyle had something available for the non-sport models.
