I've always liked the original shape of the soarer. If any body kit is installed, I belive it should do nothing but enhance and continue the original shape further more.

and no im not going to put an ugly *** spoiler like that on my car.
I second that statement!!

The front bumper doesn't really tickle me fancy though. Just my opinion

imo, the way you have the car now, there's no flow at all. the sideskirts don't work with the rest of the body. and the side skirts are too busy to flow with the stock lines of the SC, as chanh said, it's something along the lines of what a honda boi would do.

that is why i made this thread, i know the skirts do not flow with the rest.
im just trying to find out from people if i should get the whole kit or just the front bumper.

maybe i should put an option on my poll for taking off the skirts all together and putting a 97+, ac or vertex kit on my car..but apparently thats what most people do and i want something different.

If you dont have anything positive at all to bring to my thread to help me then its not even worth posting..

i like CL because people are helpful, you guys are just being dicks now

Listen, your car looks good how it is now. It looks prime from the front side shot that you have there. Don't ruin it by putting the rest of the kit on. It doesn't suit the car well enough.

You know how you can fix the discontinuation of flow from the side-skirts you have there... add an extension on the rear spoiler to make the back lower. The rear spoiler doesn't have to match the side-skirts, just as long as the height is around about the same along the whole car, than it should look good. Than you won't have that problem of looking from the side, and seeing half the car from the front being low, with the boot section being much higher.

P.S. Nice lights on the back there + tint looks prime!

Thank you, that feedback helps me.
I need to find some type of rear lip kit to add on to my 92 rear bumper to make it lower, either that or a new rear bumper.

If any of you guys have any ideas let me know, the help is appreciated.

Taking off the skirts and doing a full origin kit might also be an option since its only $800 for the whole kit. just wondering about the fitment issues.
