For some crazy reason I dont like how the front bumper looks with the rest of the kit. The Front bumper is the only thing on the car without the body line (which sticks out like a sore thumb to me), and Im not digging the back bumper. The exhaust hole obviously doesnt line up, there is no plate box, and it sticks out just as far (or more!) as the stock rear bumper. Im glad you like your kit, but those are just a couple things I noticed. Also, I agree with the other guys - paint the mesh on your grille black.

i think it looks really good, on closer inspection ican see the shade of paint is different on the kit, but it still looks good, only thing i dont like is the rear bumper and how it sort of flexes in the center of the bottom, rims look nice too, good job, you need to work out perfections on body kits, you cant just stick them on and paint it, don't worry, its looking good, you might want to think of fog lights for the front? and a turbo with an intercooler, heh

What I think you should do is paint the mesh in the bumper black, and same with the mesh in the grill. That would make the entire front look SOOOOOO much better. Looking good other than that. Also, I don't think the license plate light looks bad at all. I didn't even notice it until somebody said something.

Very clean job in the front and sides.. But the rear.. Im kinda not diggin it.. Looks awful.. Sorry to say.. Prolly because of the plate... And one more suggestion.. Shave the emblems, so that it is really for show.. And by tha way, where did you get that tight Ralli Art grille?.. Is it reall or generic??

the kit looks pretty good. i bet it was a pain in the @ss for the bodyshop to make it fit. glad it turned out good. the only bad thing is about the light on the rear bumper.... dosent look too great. maybe something smaller and sleeker.
