[eulogy_1981]

of you like me have owned you accord for a while aready like more than 5 years. did you ever go through fast and furious body kit stage at some point in your life if you did post your pics and show us what your car at some point looked like.

and I still rock the bodykit...

"fast and furious"? ..... I'll take the fast part of that statement


actually, my car was ricier BEFORE my bodykit....

[Dr.x]

yea but your setup makes up for any past "indiscretions"

[eulogy_1981]

91accord exr thats exactly the same bodykit i had but with a carbon fiber front lip i have to find my pics so that i can post them up.

[coletrain]

Yes I did, ha. I've got a few Super Street mags that inspired me buy a Mach III wing. Never put it on cuz I got bashed for even mentioning it, lol.

A well done body kit is cool. The people that overdo it, or worse, underdo it, are the ones that give kitted cars a bad name.

-Make it fit properly (good kits do this much better than cheap kits).
-Paint it.
-Put some thought into the lines of the car and the lines of the kit. Just because someone makes a kit for your car doesn't mean it's going to flow well.
-Make sure other mods compliment the kit (you need tasteful wheels, headlights, exhaust...)

I can only imagine trying to design a body kit that will be universal in design but have to "flow" with every car on the market.....gotta be a nightmare

Oh, come on... the Spiderman2 kit looks perfect on EVERYTHING!

[Boost_Lee]

to me its ricier to follow a trend than it is to do what you feel looks good

[deevergote]

I'd rather see a well done kitted car, even with an aluminum wing, over a car with random JDM goodies slapped on.

I put projector/halo/led style headlights, altezza lights, green windshield washer, and green underglow on my 99 f150.
That's about as "ricey" as I got though.

There are so many features on your old car, Matt, that would be TOTAL rice had they not been done in a coherent, tasteful presentation. Kit, rainbow flake stripe, flip flop trunk, chrome wheels, airbags...

However, what does a coherent application of wild parts get you? The cover of a calendar
