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'm in agreement with everyone. Like I said in the OP to each their own. I just wanted to see the general consensus on here. I'm guilty of doing the body kit thing back in 05 haha. I had the "B2" kit on my 05 XRS. I hated it after it went on the car. I swapped it out for some still aftermarket but higher quality FRP front and rear lips from Vuteq. I think the body kit phase is dying out. Like it has been said the OEM/JDM but still customized look is in. And even though the hellaflush thing looks good, I wish it would die off as well.
