positive- I love the look.
negative- Cost a lot to put on and it cracks very easily. If you are lowered, it's a real b*tch getting around.

Positive: Different than the group think, everybody else has it, completely played out kit.

Negative: Expensive installation, you have to be very careful with it or it will get more expensive.

You will be able to use the fog switch and wiring, but probably not the housings without custom fiberglass.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

Positive: I think it looks good, at least more aggressive but like said before, it's played out. There are just too many that look like that. Initial cost is attractive but don't let that fool you.

Negative: Although the initial cost is low, most of those kits show up with thin spots, bad spots and need to be worked before installation. Additionally, There is no bumper support so they flap in the wind. Just the flapping alone damages the paint. Any little bump and that cheap fiberglass is cracked. It really needs to be molded into the car for a good installation. All of the workmanship to get it installed is very expensive not to mention all the touchup to follow...

I'd still love to find a nice aggressive urethane kit... -JoeB

BTW...your stock fogs will NOT fit in the openings. You'll have to buy some fogs from a 98+ GS300. On a side note, this being my 2nd front bumper, the GS fogs don't fit correctly. The opening is longer and a bit taller. I've been thinking of using fogs from 89-95 5 series(E 34), but would have to do some re-wiring.
