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? |

This is something I hate having to explain to people about my car... Around here body kits aren't very popular (at all) but I have mine and it sticks out a good bit. Personally I've never liked body kits of any kind on anything unless they serve a purpose and wouldn't have put one back on mine if it didn't do just that: It's only there to cover up the god-aweful rust damage that the jackwagon that put it on originally left by not doing it right the first time...
Therefore I went ahead and took 2 months to mold it on as best I could after school everyday between working and skating, bummed rides everywhere, begged for money for Bondo and fiberglass, etc etc... I love the look of our cars stock or GT4 front converted, with the exception of the rear bumper. I kinda feel like someone forgot to draw the bottom of it. But anyone who likes the big kits is entitled to their opinions and I don't rag on them. I saw Fast and Furious too and wanted my mom to paint our BMW orange and green... It's all good lol And I like to give my opinion (: This post has been edited by nwizzle: Dec 18, 2010 - 10:14 PM |
