i want to see back shots... to see how the front compliments the rear


a very important thing when looking at a body kit to see whether the stock rear can even work with such an aggressive front bumper because if i remember correctly the artisan rear had a big black rear diffuser

I'm surprised everyone likes it so much. I'll look at it again in a few days to see if it grows on me. I can't be that much in disagreement.

Dont think you can go too low
the whole kit looks pretty sweet. but it's also pretty aggressive. personally, i'd want to be near 500 hp to match the look.

Beautiful front end, definately more agressive. Needs sides and rear to blend the front end.

here's the entire kit. i'm not a huge fan of the rear bumper. at least not with the two-tone paint job shown here.

Really like the front - very Porsche-like. Back, not so much

Why does the look of the rear diffuser go up so high on the rear bumper. I think if it stopped at the top of the exhaust tips it would look much better. Overall, the car with that kit is fire!

Why on earth would you want a knockoff

If you cant afford it leave the car stock.

^agreed...

This has got to be the sexiest kit possible...though the badging on the side makes me think of AMG...which isn't a bad think as long as it reps the hp / tq...

I would buy this kit... the car looks really feminine...

this'll make it a bit more manlier!

I would do this kit with a white car with a white interior

minus the fenders

tein drop and some really nice avus rims...

Dandism, your new bumper looks very very nice. How much you get it with fog light?

Thats a rediculous statement and there are plenty of CL vendors selling look-a-likes in the vendor section. I'd say most of the people posting here have "knock off" wheels and probally don't even know it. Even original kits require massive body work to fit properally, so I'd rather put that money in the finishing work. It has nothing to do with affording it, and I'd rather not deal with customs, massive shipping costs, and long wait times.

<---has owned many, many, high end cars with full kits.
