Default 2001+ body kits / lips

Ok, I know this question has been posed several times, but for some reason I dont think it's ever been fully answered. I was hopin regadless, someone would be able to help me out tho...

What kits and/or lips fit the 2001 perfectly? Is there a way to get the OEM kit for the 2000 to fit the 2001 withouth spending a lot for the conversion? would it even look good? (my guess is no).

do body kits (that change the whole bumper) fit perfectly? i would think yes... if not, why not?

thanks guys.

ok. First of all there are no 'specificly' made 2001+ kits out on the market as of now except for the Xenon kit (sedan) The other lip kits (Kaminari and Wings West) do not fit perfectly because of the front bumper, but the sides and rear valence fit.

Full bumper replacement body kits do not usually fit perfectly and have to be modified a little to be made to fit. They dont fit perfectly cause they are not always carefully made and sometimes poor quality.... thats basically it.

The only real way to find out if it fits or not is to try on your own car I was able to fit a full bumper replacement body kit on my car (2001 sedan) w/o too much trouble, but there were modifications made to the kit, to make it fit.

every kit on the market has to be tweaked a little when installed even lip kits. some companies are better at it than others since you get what you pay for... try to find a style you like and then worry about install and paint since the price varies depending on where you live and how the kit comes. most cheap kits will cost you more to install since the craftmanship sucks. also ureathane kits are harder to paint and are less forgiving if not crafted correctly. lip kits vary since you can bolt them on and leave a seam or get it bonded to your bumper, in some cases it doesnt matter and in other it makes all the difference
