Default Kaminari Installation Question

Just a question for anyone who has the Kaminari body kit.

I'm in the process of getting my car back up to 100 percent after an accident, and would the front lip of the kit just replace the front bumper or are there other parts I'll need to remove (so I wouldn't have to purchase parts that would be taken off for the body kit install anyway).

So basically, what stock parts do you remove (besides the front bumper obviously) and keep off?

And also.. do you like the kit?

You completely remove the front bumper and never put a piece of it back on. But save all the bolts and clips (from the top, the 10mm ones in the wheel well) and underneath. You need most of them to properly install the new Kaminari one.

Btw... I love my kit, get's a lot of looks.

Do you have to remove the oem side skirts? or does the Kaminari side skirts just fit over them?

Ok great. Is there any drilling or fitting problems with this kit? Also if anyone knows, how much lower is this kit from stock, sides,front,back?. I want to install trd springs and the kaminari kit, I just have a feeling it will be too low.

It won't be too low for sure... It's on tCs with many different ride heights around the country...

almost any kit will have a few fitment problems, but Kaminari seems to do some severe quality control and set their kits up right...

If everyone and their mother in the tC world with kits didn't have one, I'd be sporting the Kaminari kit too... love the quality and the look.
