Check the marketplace. You should be able to find some nice stuff with 2k.

Stock forged 19" Rays are super nice wheels. If you have a limited budget for rims, just stick with stock. No point in dropping $1-2k to downgrade your wheels, which is basically what it boils down to.

As far as kit, I also have an AB and wanted to go with Kuruma Z and Impul. I think it's by far the best looking combination. But for how much they charge for the Kuruma Z, the prep and paint is supposed to be a $$ nightmare. I'd pick it up if they dropped the price by a good $250, which is never going to happen.

So basically I'd go with Top Secret front and Impul sides.

I was a little apprehensive about the KZ front bumper too, but my bodyshop test fitted it and they said it was almost perfect.. best fitting urethane bumper they've seen in a while. But yeah prepping and painting a urethane bumper is never cheap!.. something about having to add flex additives to make sure the paint doesn't chip easily.. amongst other things

Kuruma Z bumper and Impul sides....!

The extra cost to prep/paint a urethane bumper is well worth it. Had my
Kuruma Z bumper been fiberglass it would have died months ago....dead and buried! And besides urethane doesn't have waves in it like fiberglass....

since you have the 19" rays, if you want the body kit first, just buy a set of 20mm front/25mm rear spacers for your rims.
they really make a difference appearance-wise, IMO.
