'In My Honest Opinion',,,
Your Kenstyle rear has nice clean lines, your ED GT front has clean lines but those sides are all over the place, I think if you replaced them with a MS, Ings, RMagic, Burnout, it would be fine...
By the way, what Turbo setup are you running, or are you running the REW in your 8, sometimes people put other cars in thier sig so Im just askin

My thought exactly. I love the look of your car, very aggressive. But I think that either MazdaSpeed, AutoBahn, Vertex Lang, or even Knights sports side skirts would flow alot better with the rest of the car.

^The hood is the Seibon TSII Carbon Fiber hood. The front bumper looks like MS with some customization...but i'm not exactly sure.

I gotta say I love those fenders you have there deathwalkin. If I ever need to replace my fenders, I may have to pick up a set. Of course, then I'll need a hood too, and sideskirts, and a new nose and....

You know, maybe I'm better off not thinking about replacing body panels. I can't afford it.

Thanks Here's some pic's for ya. Sorry about the dirt. It's a little shitty outside.
The olny problem I have with the bumper setup is the fact that my exhaust tips don't stick out far enough. as you can see, the bumper is getting a little black. I'm going to have to extend the pipes 2-3 inches. Hope these pic's are what your looking for.

Sweet. Looks good. I don't mind the dirt. After all, it's a car, you drive it, it's gonna get dirty.

Nice ride.

very nice ride deth.

i do agree about the side skirts having too many lines/angles when the rest of the kit is so smooth. rotr8 had some good suggestions on sideskirts. just a thought, probably too late now though.

very sexy. i love the front/hood/fenders ménage à trois. really has a good look going on there. huge fan of the kenstyle kit, so +1 on the rear as well.
