what the hell is your problem?

we modify our cars because we enjoy it and we think it looks good and not a damned thing else matters.

theres an old saying that if u dont have anything nice to say then shut the ____ up. i dont think anyone here would have minded u saying u didnt like it but u didnt have to go so far as to tell the guy he has no taste.

if he has no taste then you have no class.

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I guess every one has their own taste in cars, and how they should be built or modified, each to their own

I like big guards, and equally big rims to fill them, I wouldn’t have done it other wise

I like it , i always wanted that kind of lip but it would involve me cutting and hacking the fender/quarters before having them finished . I personally could not bear to see it like that cut like that especially since i did that to my winter beater civic.

Can't wait to see them painted it should look very nice.

Body kit wise I’m not really sure what I want, or what I can find for that matter. There isn’t a great deal for sale here in Australia, and I think shipping from the states might blow the cost right out.

You are so close to Japan ,you could order one from them.
All kits in America come from Japan anyway.

I used to buy a few things here and there when I had imports via a broker. The language barrier was a major issue. The thought had crossed my mind again; even though the shipping is cheaper I then need to pay some broker his fee for doing ti for me
