I am not getting. Looks like cheap stick on plastic parts.

The front end pieces look great but the side and rear looks so tacky.

It looks like this car crashed into an auto zone. All those stick on pieces on the side are horrible.

Default Absolutely NOT!

I only see the front spoiler and light bar as good add-ons for my build…the rest are simply too comic looking for my taste, but I am pretty sure some people may find the other add-one appealing.

I like the way the spoiler comes down on the ends but almost feel like it would need some accompanying styling in the rear end to bring the full effect. That is, couldn’t pull it off by itself.

Yes. This kit is the definition of cringe.
The spoiler and side skirts are worth offering, even though I wouldn't buy them personally. But the rest of the kit... woof.

We're a dealer for Rowen, LEMS, and Tom's. Have you received quotes?

I was at a meet last night, and we were just making fun of stick-on fender pieces that are similar to the F models. The fender pieces on this kit are uncannily similar.

I know it's not part of the package, but I'll take the wheels.
