all it would need is the removal of the bumper structural parts.

Not bad, it looks kinda weird the way the front drops down like that.

I just sent an e-mail to the owner of the website.

I want the kit, but I'm skeptical about the company overall.

His business on e-bay has 22 NEGATIVE FEEDBACK REPORTS. Many of those are people who paid and never received their items.

I've only found 2 pics of this kit. If this kit is in production, there must be more pics.

Who is the manufacturer of this kit? PROTOS??? I can't find a listing for the manufacturer, either.

-Pete

PS- The same guy has another website called "AUTORICE" where the kit is listed for $1256.00

Please tell us what happened when you ordered the kit.

My guess is that this company either doesn't have the kit, or they have made a copy of the kit in the pic. I hope I'm wrong, because I want the kit, too.

There may be a company in Singapore, or somewhere, that makes the kit, or maybe the kit is a one-off, and there are no others.

Here's a pic that has been posted several times:



It's funny that some of us are ready to order the kit, without even seeing the rear bumper!

Did any one else notice the aero ducts (?) where the rear corner windows are located? WTF is that? If those are ducting air to the rear brakes, then that is incredibly cool (literally). No mention of those parts on the website.

The radiator will get plenty of airflow through the lower vents, but a reverse vented hood would help the flow. The hood in the pic is the wrong type.

The kit has great potential. The small duct in the grill should be the inlet for a CAI.

Here's a similar kit I'm buying for my S2000 (check out the similar duct in the bumper):

looks good on the S2000 but not ont the xA. It makes the xA look like its sad or something, the slope action of the front in combination with no grill might be the reason it looks so wierd. If I got this kit, I would have someone alter the bumper to fit the grill, then I would like this kit. Thats just my opinion...

Love it with no grille!

(No grille, either.)
