I like it alot. Is there a rear spoiler planned for it or not? Is the dark triangle that goes along the side of the car paionted or is that the light catching an angle in the body work?
Great work

I think it looks good without a spoiler in the normal position, but I think it needs something lower down on the back end. I also don't like the rear wheel well. Other than that, it looks great. Not something I'd buy but something I'd love to see at least one of driving around.

Agreed on the rear spoiler - particularly for aerodynamic efficiency...
One more thought: On the pic it looks like the rear bumper cover and fenders have no seam. That sure would look good, but I don't think it's very practical. Think about a parking scrape in the rear bumper - you'd have to redo bumper and both quarter panels everytime... I'd make the bumper cover a separate piece, with a thin, minimized seam. Maybe there is a material softer than fiberglass that you can use for this.

wow - I like everything (- including dropped rear, rear wheel arch, doors) except the front splitter shark jaw thing.. that seems to loose the smooth lines to me. Maybe something a liittle less dropped? - depends how its blended - I presume to a functional splitter of some kind...
Overall this looks really good - blends well - seems to go together, the stripe adds a lot to the shape change - love the swoopy up sides aided by the door treatment...
One heck of a good job!

If you left the signature headlights alone, I like it. Would I do it to my car? No. I just dont see why you have to mess with perfect. I guess if i needed a 3/4 front end i would then give it thought.... but it is a hot looker! Looking forward to seeing more pix!

lol did you guys notice ...
pretty much everyone of us didn't like a particular part of the body kit.
it would be so tough, making decissions based on our opinion.
because, counted together, the whole kit would suck.
but it doesn't.
maybe one shouldn't ask , just say:
this is it guys. buy it or leave it.

This is clearly the best kit we've seen since the heydays of Stosek! It reminds me a bit of the newer BMW models (Z4 coupe comes to mind), with its cured lines and mix ov convex and concave surfaces. At the same time I has a hint of Aston Martin's chiseled-from-a-block feel to it. It's very modern, very cool, and very "shark"!
And if there is a detail one does not like - it could be changed during installation on the individual car.
