Body Kit looks nice...

[Greddy2000Ex]

I got my body kit from the paint shop today and decided to have so fun and put it on...so me and my buddies put it on and I have to say that it looks kinda good....now where to the foglights?...I'm thinkin the outside, lower section....comments? suggestions?

im not gonna badmouth the kit...although nothing is uglier than a kitted car on stock hub-caps...im gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you have rims coming, or at least getting ready to order some??

front doesn't look like the paint matche its more dull, gap between hood and bumper as well, also looks like it flares out inforont of the frond fends, weird... i like the front though octanes are nice, but have to be matched nicely with sides and rear, and with rims... oh gaps on sides too... sorry posting pics usually gets you mostly bad comments and well most know what comes from me..hope its urethane cause fiberglass does and will crack...but i like the foront, just needed some mroe adjusting b4 paint, bbut umm yeah too larte, slap some rims n call it a day - oh the middle opening in the front grill should have bin cut straight b4 pslapping on a grill and painting it, its all wavy

looks good man i like it... get some rims and lower it and u'd be set for the exterior... got a rear shot?

 

[deftone]

looks decent but shoulda got rims and lowered it first. but hey, atleast its painted

Hey I helped him put it on and the front in the pics looks like the paint doesnt match that well, but it does, the paint matches pretty perfect all the way around. And its probably better that he put the kit on first, cauz if he lowered it with rims and everything first it might have been too low and liable to crack/scrape more. Very nice car tho...even tho my hatch will eat it alive, yea thats right steve

that kits fugly.. sorry.. lol.. never been a fan of the "pointless opennings" on the front bumper. if you like it.. then good. looks odd with steelies and hubs though. get working on that. it may help..

wrong u always puir rims/suspen first and work around that...

 

[kingstonrock]

I agree with suspension before the kit, but not necessarily rims. It might be better to see how the car actually looks with the kit before choosing wheels.

i would like to see photos of your rearend

 

[HatchSurfer3]

i dunno to me it just seems like i would wanna see how low the kit sat before i would see how much i would wanna drop it. Just my opinion, i dont think its necissarily wrong. And I agree with king about see how the kit looks to choose the weels

i kknow just playin

but if its too large of a kit what if you can't drop it much, when i had my old kit the kit sat low and i wasn't even dropped and i scrapped, every kit is different and u wanna see how much room you have to drop then go form there, cause what if he has massive wheel gap when he put on rims and can't lower it too much cause he will scrape to s**t...
and scraping + fiberglass = garbage, glass will crack just a matter of when

 

[kingstonrock]

Yeah, it would suck to put on a kit, and then realize your stuck with wheel gap. You should really eliminate the wheel gap, then figure what kits will still fit. Then again, i guess if your going with 17+" wheels (depending on width), you need to plan ahead with your drop so you wont rub too much. It's all gotta work together.

I couldn't disagree more


personally I think every car with a body kit and no rims looks like ass, it's like rice to the max


suspension+rims > body kit

Personally I would take the kit off until I had those out of the way, but it's your car...nobody should tell you what to do.

just curious that everybody says urethane is better, which I'm not saying it isn't, but if urethane were to crack how do you fix it? as compared to when fiberglass cracks, it isn't much to fix it other then some body filler.. just curious..

 

[HatchSurfer3]

Yea I can see where yas are comin from, but since he already has the kit and everything id wait to see how much he can drop it. What ur sayin makes sense BB but also, what ur sayin it would basically be him choosing between havin a wheel gap and scraping the ground.

What ur sayin makes sense BB but also, what ur sayin it would basically be him choosing between havin a wheel gap and scraping the ground.

so which is better wheel gap or scrapping the ground? why would you want either one? think bout it undropped car on rims is just as rice as nothin having rims w/t kit, and why would you want to scrape your kit it wouldn't last a season..

urethane is just as strong as ur stock bumper to pix is not as easy but it will not crack like ur fiberglass kit, just a simple rock chip can start a crack on fiberglass. and once a weak poin is made infiberglass it will always crack even after repaired it can crack again.
