How much money do you want to spend on a front look change? You could do a JDM Spec.B conversion like what I have, but parts won't be cheap - the foglights and mounting brackets were around $600. And that doesn't include the front bar yet...

The JDM front bar can also be sourced from NZ. could potentially be cheaper?

If you can find it secondhand, definitely cheaper. $600 was for new mountings and light assembly from Japan, because I couldn't find any secondhand gear at the time - plus I needed it as soon as possible due to my car being at the panelbeater's thinking the lights were the same!

In the same boat.

I slightly damaged my front bar, and will be ~350 to fix and respray, and has prompted me to perhaps upgrade.

I don't mind the JetSpeed kit (http://www.jetspeedmelb.com.au/images/c ... id-188.jpg) and appears to be a copy of the K2 front bar.
~$1000 for the bar and foglights.
Some on these forums has this fitted yeah?

JDM kit also look tempting (http://nyomi.arith.com.au/parts/Bumper_GT.jpg) Cheers Arith
I guess I'll email Phat and see what he can do.

Apart from that, is there anything else?

you do realize that won't fit unless you change your headlights and front guards as well?

The only JDM option you have is the one I have, for the pre-facelift.
