+2 on dark colored cars. For some reason, the dark colored cars look 100x better then the light colored cars. Maybe because it hides the fact that there is a body kit but very subtle on dark colored cars. On a white car you can see it plain straight out.
other then that, looks good man, but like everyone said you should get rims and lower it.
not to be the forum ****, but whats up with people buying just body kits and putting them on the 3rd gen gs w/o rims or lowering it?
I thought the first mod was rims and lowering?
I'd think the body kit is around $200 ish + paint and install (another $500-600) ? I know it sounds like rims and lower is alot more money but cmon, this car isnt a honda, and we've seen TONS of post of people critizing already saying "gotta get rims before body kit"?
just my 0.02

Thanks PHML!!
It was an easy decision to get the kit first and I could not pass up on the opportunity. I’m still undecided on wheels and taking my time on deciding what to get.
Thanks for all the kind words.. Yes. Drop would be nice but I don’t think it’s going to happen.
Since this car is my daily driver I encounter speed bumps and uneven roads on a daily basis on my commute to work and while picking up my kid at school.

I am very impressed with the fitment and even the paint quality. Brighter pics would allow us to scrutinize the paint more closely but it looks awesome from what I can see. I think its one of the best color match I have seen on this forum.
