Post Xenon Or Kaminari Body Kit...

Which body kit do you think looks best on the u.s. lancer and is worth the money:

Xenon ($1,500 USD) uhh...look for it.
Kaminari ($995 USD) www.kaminari.com

They're both fine problem with the Lancer is that big ol grandma's huge *** style rear bumper. I'd get a Cedia rear bumper to replace that before I would bother getting a body kit. It also depends on what you like in a kit. The Xenon/Kenstyle kit is more fashioned for dropping the car, and looks more race style to me; where the Kaminari kit looks far more aggressive, but I don't think it would look good in a dropped car.

I prefer the kaminari kit.

Yeah, I voted for the Zenon kit despite the cost. I think like that it looks slightly less organic and a bit more chiselled. Good luck deciding.

Gotta say the Kaminari kit...although it doesn't have the really cool foglight holes I think it's a very nice kit...and I'm not a huge kit fan. The Zenon kit is nice but a bit OVERstated for me.

My Vote

I think they are both awful (just kidding)

I like the kaminari show car. Probably because it's close to the color of my own car but also it has no wing. The orange one on the Kaminari site does not do it for me.

I've only seen the Zenon on a blue car.
Maybe a change of color might improve it's appeal. I like the evo hood though.

All around kit I'd go for the Kaminari.

I like them both, what I dislike about the Kaminari kit is the spoiler. But if I had to pick one, I'd go with the Zenon kit. I also like the hood on the Zenon. But its hella expensive man!?!?

That not only requires buying 1 and 1/2 kits, but also isn't an option.

Both the Kaminari and Zenon kits are sold in parts, so the wings are not necessarily parts of either.

Kaminari has everything the Accolade Zenon kit does minus the hood.

Front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and a wing. (if you buy the entire set)

I'm going to say there's the seller's bias goin' on there too. Kaminari is also cheaper, has a more or less flawless rep (as a company), and looks equally as clean (though in a different style). Looks for buck... Kaminari's the way to go, but I really dig the looks of the Zenon/Kentstyle kits. The prices will drop sooner or later.
