Interesting body kit. Ricey?

Minus the spoiler of course, that thing makes me cringe.



I like it, it looks reptilian. What do you think?

ABFlug.....unless you see it in person i wouldnt judge......there are 2 in the US that i know of, one is in PA (BLACKOUT) and the other is i believe in the south...its far from ricey, very exclusive (if its the real thing)....without the wing it would look funny because the wing finishes it....its an ultra wild kit that looks pretty good up close and personal

I looked at that kit, but it was a bit extreme. I also looked at this without the wing

It's also one that's not very common.

Yeah it does, but I don't want to wait three or more months. Waiting on wheels is bad enough!

A bit too extreme for me, and the wing is just way too much...

IMO it depends on what you ultimately want to do with your car. For a strictly trailered show car, maybe......and thats a stretch even there, but for street use you'd be hard pressed to be able to enjoy your car for what it's worth without the constant worry about tearing up the front end. That was one reason I kept looking, and I am making my baby a strictly show car once she's done. With that said, I still went in a different direction.

Another thing I've researched is color combinations. Some kits look better in some colors than others. Just my .02. GL

The lines and curves on the side skirts do not flow with the curvature of the car at all.
