Just wanted some input. I really like it, and I think it will keep the car looking unique, I see 3 or 4 FB's running around here but they are all stock and beat to ****. I was planning on getting my engine street or bridge ported and think that the little added performance will go well with the look of the kit.



Any input welcome and appreciated.



thanks in advance.

the problwm with the widebody is that it makes the car look fast, so you have to back it up

Its really gonna be personal preference innit?



$1000 is a lot of money, don't forget the additional costs too, like getting the right wheels and tyres to fit, plus fitting it and respraying.

All Show and no Go = RICE

All Show WITH Go = NICE!!



You better have a bridgeport or boost under the hood

exactly. I wouldn't buy it till the car is fairly fast. but looked at it from a few other angles and that kit is beyond HUGE. so not sure, think I might decide going with a bit smaller kit or just leave it stock bodied and fast.



and with the painting, I already need a paint job, so that was considered into the cost.
