Re: New 4G body kit...

I'm going to hold my judgment on it for a bit yet, but one thing I really like so far is that it doesn't bring the body closer to the ground. And I also don't like the spoiler.

Re: New 4G body kit...

I don't like the spoiler either, but other than that, it's not too bad.

I actually just found out they probably aren't even producing the spoiler as part of the kit.

Re: New 4G body kit...

If you get the kit you really should mold the flares into the fender. That would be sick.

Re: New 4G body kit...

I'm still trying to decide if I even like it. I mean I do... but the fact it's all just a lip kit gives it kind of a cheap look, you know?

Like you recommended with molding, if the kit were like fender and bumper replacements (it's cost a shit load of money) it'd look so much better.

Re: New 4G body kit...

Yeah I see what you mean, the wheel wells are already shaped to appear like they stick out, and then exaggerating it more does look a little weird.

Just stick with OEM. OEM looks good the way it already is.

Looks nice, i thought this was gonna be another ricey thread, but the car looks good, would be better in one color.
Looks like an audi TT to me.

Re: New 4G body kit...

The winglets on the front bumper were stolen off a Leer jet and the fender flares are from a Ford Focus. The wing on top of the banana spoiler was a retarded idea first done by Talon and Sealth owners and guess what, it's still retarded.

I probably will never do a body kit, I just like to get peoples opinions on major exterior mods and stuff.

I do want to do a wing, but I don't have the balls. The anti-rice inside me screams every when I try to get the courage to order one.

It's a good thing you dont have the balls to put the wing and a good thing you have the anti-rice inside of you. Don't do it.

Re: New 4G body kit...

I saw this car about a year ago at extreme autofest in Pomona, CA. I believe it had a custom one of a kind twin turbo kit.

Re: New 4G body kit...

Yeah thats possible. This version of the kit is actually just a remake, Shine Street or something made the kit previously but went out of business a while ago, but the front lip was really popular and apparently they saw a demand for it so another company is remaking the lip kit.

I tend to like the stock-ish lowered with rims and maybe some subtle exterior modded cars much better than the over the top but not perfectly executed Fast and the Furious remakes.

I love my car the way it is, but i'm always tempted to see how other things would look on it.
