I LOVE MY FIVE AXIS!! install was like 20 minutes and so so so so so easy!

You have to also figure if you can get it from Japan.. it will cost you the same by the time you add the shipping from Japan.. and that prob the reason why it cost so much.. and i bet you they dont have the kenstyle just laying around.. they would have to make it and if they have to bring out the mold and set it up just to make one kit.. im sure they will charge you an arm and a leg

For anyone who wants to know..just learned that Kenstyle USA body kits available thru optomizescion for $1299 plus freight. I have to say having a tough time deciding between Kkenstyle and Five Axis..I like the Kenstyle look better in the front but the Five Axis look is better in my opinion for the rear..and also received word that Five Axis body kit going on sale for $800 and free shipping from Longo Toyota starting May 1st..

you're right!!! I had been comparing using the pics from the RS5 XB and the 5Axis lip Kit..the on eon optomizescion is way better imho...tough cause I know the 5 Axis model is dropping in price but I rather spend the $$ on waht i like more..even if it costs more. Doubt the price will drop on the kenstyle but who knows..nice looking out..

the one on optomize looks really nice...it may be perfect for those who want a lip without having to worry about scraping or tearing it apart.
If they really made the kit like that, and not just the picture, I would seriously consider that kit. It looks almost like a traditional ings+1 kit in the front, which is what I always wanted.

I def like the kit alot but only down side i see is the front lip covers the stock vents, so if you have a TRD intake the vent looks to be blocked or covered completely.

Good news RS owners...I called the number from the optomizescion website and was told that the dealer can get the KenStyle kit in individual parts instead of having to buy the whole kit. I talked to a lady named Kristie and she gave me the part number for the front lip of the kit. I then contacted my local dealer with the part number and contact info and they quoted me a price of $550 plus shipping so i think i'm going to go with that or just buy the complete kit and maybe hold on to the other parts just incase something else happens to my RS in the future.
