Yeah - my plan was to look at the prices of some of these body kits for the future, but suspension was my more immediate plans. Keep on seeing Tein coilovers on ebay for various prices, and wouldn't mind picking that up. Either that or a eibach springs/kyb shocks combo. Not sure which is the better application for an everyday driver car though.

Well, I'm still in love with that Wald kit...but that Job Design doesn't seem to bad at all either. Like I said though, all the kits are always on white or black cars. Anyone here have some wicked photoshop skills to show some of these kits on various colour vehicles? Preferably the ebony green?! What do you guys think of these kits with 18" or "19 chrome wheels instead of JDM wheels? The rims are deep dish with about a 2" lip.

As well...post some links to where these kits can be purchased or prices. Some are harder to find then others.... Here is a link I found for the job design kit.

Not sure what the difference is, all I know is that the AG kit is the knockoff/replica of the Admiration one.

Here's fellow CL member naketerro's ride with the Admiration kit

I don't mind the rear styling and the skirt package, but the front looks a little bit too busy for me. Like the subtle look or a bit more smooth flowing lines.

Does anyone here have any photoshop skills though? Would love to see the Wald and JOB kits in the Ebony Teal (green) colour.

my first choice would be....JUNCTION PRODUCE!!!!!
next would be Job Design and Aimgain.i like body kits thats real clean and the Admiration kit is just too busy and looks riced out.and the skipper kit is plain ugly.the front i can handle but the rear is just fu*ked up!

I really like the Kazz, but not too many guys with 147s are going to
pony-up for a $3100 kit + paint and install. Sorry, just reality.

I love the 147 body style but always hated how the lower side
rocker panels "die" (curve way back) at the bottom. Makes the
car look higher and less finished than it should be.

While we are painting my bro's (link 13) 147 we're going to "fix"
the small design issues the Veilside kit has. Should be spectacular!
