I don't know why, but the Veilside or similar knockoffs make me want to puke. Especially with that rear bumper. I'm not bashing on anyone's car, I understand and respect the creed of to each his own. That damn bodykit doesn't follow any lines on our cars AT ALL and it's just over the top in every way. I'm also not a fan of the "C-5" or similar kits. I love how the REAL C-One kit looks and I don't know why no one here in the states makes the skirts and the rear lip. I found a site that imports C-One stuff and got in touch with someone and priced out an authentic kit with front bumper, skirts, rear lip and hood. It came out to just over $3,000 which seems reasonable and I'd pay that for a high quality kit, the only down side is it'd cost almost FOUR grand to ship it here. Blah, it'd be so nice to have a quality replica of that kit. /end rant.

So what is your guys' kryptonite when it comes to body kits for our cars?

I myself cannot stand body kits, on our car or any others, mostly because they always fit like garbage and nobody ever takes the time to make it look right, an i obviously am with you all i love the way my SSIII kit looks, it did take a little work but its not huge boxy bumpers and vents all over the place. but like stated before to each is own
