I got mine from alot of different places. First I bought a fiberglass front and sides from Racerette. Then I bought the rear though Body Pros.

I destroyed my front end and Kaminari USA decided to sponsor me a uranthane front. THis is because I always represent at shows. I then got rear ended and the back got destroyed so kaminari pulled though again.

The wing I got though Kaminari And the carbonfiber insert was givin to me by MBautosport my sponsor.

I spent 800 on the fiberglass kit and with paint it cost an additional 550. Totoal $1300.

I have both types and urathane is the better choice. Fiberglass is ok but it gets chips easier and seems to bottom out more.

www.Mbautosport.com seems to have the best prices Ive seen. Its not a shameless plug they just get really good prices. Lates

Well I got my whole kit with the CF race wing from racerette.com for a little under $1500 shipped to my door... Firtment is OK - not perfect some alternations/modifications had to be done with the kit before I had it painted... Hope that helps... Later...

Look i dont want to sound like a compleate ass but MB doesnt make the Kaminari kit. Hes a distributer for kaminari and he gets a great price becouse he has a good account with them.

All the fillment problems are from the cokkie cutter kits buddy club, invader, blitz. Anyways everyone gets them from the same place MB does not produce those kit.

The kaminari kit will be the same fullfillment anywhere you get it. Its shipped out directly from Kaminari themselves and price depends on how good your account is with them. They havent been any knockoffs and if there were Kamainri would sue them to high heaven. lates

Hey Man,
I've got the full on Kaminari kit. I paid a total of $955 --- shipped to my business. --- It's cheaper to ship to a business. I had tons of grind marks and fisheye in the kit and fitment was less than perfect. I ordered the kit DIRECTLY through Ray at Kaminari USA --- he was a very reasonable man --- my first rear bumper came through very wavy and disformed. I don't have any photos of the defects, but they were bad. They could be taken out with a heat gun, some hand molding and, and a ton of patience--- But Ray shipped me over another for no cost --- He also let me keep the origional. As for the rest of the kit, 12 hours of sanding fisheye and filing to get the lines near perfect. The rear I received was in good shape off the car --- as soon as I bolted the rear on, PINCH MARKS --- on both sides along the rear quarter pannel. As soon as you loosen the bolts the marks go away. I guess it is how the kit was molded. I mean over all the kit looks great and fits OK (better than most) --- I am just very picky about body lines (I like them smooth and clean). There was another problem I had with the matching of rear bumper to taillight (only on the driver's side) -- It was almost like there was not enough material (on the rear bumper) to meet perfectly with the taillight. I have seen some photos and it seems that most of the urethane kits have this problem (Kaminari). The kick in the teeth is that my first (deformed rear bumper) bolted up perfect smooth lines no pinches, and perfect fitment. WEIRD. Anyway man don't let my story steer you away from the kit -- I am told if I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all. All the work to get it smooth was a toil, but it was worth it. Before I even bought the kit (or the car) I did some major research on other kits --- TO ME kaminari seemed like a better than descent company --- I don't feel that any other company would have given me another rear bumper for zilch. Just get the kit (preferably urethane) --- fit it first --- if it dosent match up (before minor filing) call kaminari directly and tell them about your dilemma they will take care of you.

Damn.. i thought it was just my bumper. I just picked up my car from the bodyshop and everything lines up 99 percent PERFECTLY.. except for that damn bit near the left drivers side taillight. :( Oh well, I guess I'm not the only one then.

I received mine last week after ordering from Tim. He's quick and honest. As for the price, I don't think you'll beat Tim.
