Straile Body Kit Question

I was wondering if anyone here have or had this kit on their car, and am in need of some opinions. I'm thinking about just getting the front bumper, tail lights, and roof spoiler. Its either going to be this or the autobauhn (spelling?) kit.

bumper:

I actually kinda like the front bumper... without the ridiculous fenders/eyelids whatever the hell those things are. It looks good on the red one in those pics.

Wow. You would definitely stand out. But I'm not sure if it would be in a good way.

More of a conversion than body kit. IMO it is ugly.

i have the autobahn front on my 8 and get nothing but compliments. As far as the straile kit...i would put that front slightly behind...the veilside front. IMO it looks horrible

if you are going to do that kit, you need to do the entire kit. only way to pull it off.

stale > veilside.

any day. but that is full kit to full kit.

I love it!

But thats because it reminds me of the new alfa, and I LOVE that car. Plus, everyone would stare at your car and be like wtf is that car?! like they would think it was some crazy import.... well it is an import... but you get what I mean.

There was a huge thread on this a while back and everyone agreed that it looked like a wannabe Bugatti Veryon. I actually saw a car with that kit at HIN and it had gaps everywhere... but that's mainly to blame the body shop that fitted it on there. Now, the question is, do I like it? Sorta... I would NEVER put ANY of that kit on my car but it's nice that other people are doing it.
