Starlite, though maybe I'm biased because my xA is silver.

image help.

hadn't seen the sarllite one before...looks about as clean as the kenstyle one...
the rear duck bill spoiler looks pretty cool.
good luck getting your hands on either.
i'd go for the most easily obtainable one.

Kenstyle...keeps the lines smooth ,subtle, and clean like it it would be stock but isn't. Starlite is kinda out there styling and that wing looks like a ramp for jumping off.

Definitely Kenstyle

i like the starlite one. it gives the care a little more aggressive look to it. it also depends if that is what you want.

as for me i would say go for the kenstyle. the wing on the starlight is a bit much for a daily driver.

Starlight looks tight w/o being ricey. the Kenstyle is very subtle in my opinion.

Kenstyle!! I love the Kenstyle!! I think it is subtle but gives the car a better look. I think the Starllight looks to ricey. Kenstyle has smoother lines and makes me want to have sex with an xA. Disturbing, huh.

maybe you can mix and match different parts of the kits. Matbe get the starlight kit and use the kenstyle wing.

i say ditto to that...i hate the ricer-style aspect of some of the kits out there. subtle, clean style is the way to go. imo go with kenstyle. although, i do like the grille in the starllite better, but thats the only piece.
do you have an xb or an xa b/c your name suggests you have an xb?

Hmmm... I was trying to find out more information about the Starllight kit, but it appears that the Starllight Compact Line is not the kit but the wheels that are on that car.

A search of "starllight" on Google provides three pages of results, none of which end up being a Japanese company that sells kits. Hmmm... anyone have more info?

thanks for all the feedback guys.

the xa is my gf's, my xb is stock to the bone. i didn't like the xa that much until i saw the kenstyle kit, since i have limited funds i decided to start on project xa. when the kit goes on her car and if it looks good i'll prolly trade my xb for it, if not, oh well :P

darren, the starllite kit can be found here.

http://www.starllite.jp/ which appears to be a product line of http://www.freeway-dolphin.co.jp/

are you planning to bring one here?

i think the starllite one does look alittle to "ricey" but thats my opinion. it would probably look much nicer without that really big wing. i say go with the kenstyle one.

the kenstyle kit has a funny looking grill in my opinion. the starlite kit looks like you can't lower the car by too much. i'd go for the kenstyle kit and keep the stock grill

Kenstyle, Kenstyle, Kenstyle...all the way....Looks perfect.

The other one has a touch of rice, with a dash of space-ship that I dont like.
