Ok its what a lot of you have been waiting for. I know some pics were already posted in the photo forum of the car with models but some quality pics and info on the kit are up on the website so check it out by clicking on the link in my sig and let us know what you think. If any of you attended the JGTC and saw the kit in person what did you think?

I like it too. Too bad performance comes before looks but maybe the second run next year will work for me.

really reminds me of a more conservative veil mixed with the nrf.. what's the booty look like?

Edit: No back bumper?? Gack.. that kinda sucks.. I'd rather have a whole kit that matches (and doesn't have any gaudy matte black plastic bits)

I love the front !
If the fit is dead on I'd take it over the MS front.

Like Clarkson would say: Looks like a work from a comittee. 50% of the comittee is from MS and the other 50% from Autobahn... nice kit! but it looks alot like a mishmash of MS and Autobahn...

Every body kit is just a variation on the same theme on practically every car. Three holes in the front and skirts on the side. Some are more extreme than others. What I found is the front follows the lines of the headlights and the sides were accented with a small vent in the rear but nothing to over the top. I think it looks a lot meaner than the MS kit which makes the smiling guppy look of stock just look like a mad smiling guppy.

If you like over the top looks like the Veilside, you will definitely not like this. If you are looking to get rid of the happy fish look and make the car look more sporty but keep it still reasonable, I think this fits the bill quite well. I am happily waiting until I can purchase mine.

Cheers.

i really like this kit but there are 2 problems with it.

1) no rear portion.
2) why no corner lights?
