i'd just go kaminari. much larger "mouth" that is more fitting aesthetically than stock.

Kaminari. More agressive than RMR II.

the kaminari is plastic right? just wondering if anybody knew how much it weighed compared to stock and also if anybody knew how much it would cost to get a good paintjob for the whole kit, thanks.

depends if you like the agressiveness of the big mouth effect. Then i would go with the kaminari, but if you like Subtlety, then i say go with the RMR Lip. i saw it on hobie's car, and i must say that from certain angles it looks stock, but from others it looks better than stock.

between these two products i'd say go with the kaminari front bumper. much nicer in my opinion, if you plan on only changing the front of the car, i'd say go with the RMR lip, it matches the stock oz sideskirts and rear lip well. the kaminari front will hang a little lower than stock but it wont look that bad.

I think the Kam front is maybe 2 or 3 pounds at most lighter than stock...when you take off the stock bumper you'll see why...it's full of noise deadening/low impact foam.... I think the best part of the kam bumper is how the actual bumper part is more rounded than the stock one...good shyte
