Default opinion on this body kit

is it just me or does this body kit look a little wierd? when i first saw it i liked it.. but now, i'm not too crazy about it. i already purchased it but i'm thinking about selling it. im afraid i won't get as much as i paid for it but tell me what you think of it anyway.

i ain't feelin it either... maybe in black or something it might look better.. but in white.. too many lines are showing on the front... its erebuni or something no? personally, i'm not into their kits.. add on kits for the front end don't look that great...

its the erebuni right? I have seen some soarers with the front (or atleast a similar front) that look pretty good, let me see what I can find. I would wait until you get it to make a decision on it-

actually, while snooping around, I realized something... the front lip looks alot like the Evolution Exclusive front lip-

I never realized that erebuni was just knocking off an Evolution Piece, even the skirts and rear look very similar.

i think all erebuni stuff is knock offs. most if not all the kits i've seen come outta there are just knock offs. they are the ViS of the east coast

I have seen this kit on a dark blue SC300 in my area. I think it looks pretty nice. When you decide to sell, let me know.

You hit it dead on. I've seen this kit on a white car and a black car. The white looked bad because of all the lines...the sides of the front bumper don't look too good either. Looked cheap.

Then I saw it on a very shiny black car and thought whoa....that's hot. I chased the guy down trying to ask what kit it was. When I realized it was erebuni I was shocked.

I have the erebuni rear lip on my car. The body shop guys that did the install said it is the cheapest quality fiberglass there is. Fitment ended up okay but they had to work like the dickens to get it on.

The kit is cheap though....about $700. If anyone has a black car and is on a budget, might be okay.

Hmm. I think it looks okay. What other front lip kits are available? I'd rather get a front lip than a body kit. Most body kits for the SC look too flashy, some look clean though.... and some make the car look like something out of Voltron. I can't stand that extreme invader shogun crap. But this kit looks halfway decent.

Some bodykits look nice (jic, AC), but I'm into the front lip or oem 97+ look. Unfortunately not many lip options. Erebuni would be cheapest but as you've seen isn't that great. ReggieK has my dream lip, (wise sport i think). I'd paint my factory lip if it wasn't warped and cracked

hey i manage to find some pics of a car with this body kit on.. i think you guys are right.. it would look better with a dark color type of paint but i had a type of silver in mind.. i'm not so sure what im going to do as of yet.. its either this body kit or vortex.
