No matter what any one says it doesn't make them an expert on styling for YOUR car. It's your car and you should get what you want. I like shaved door handles, and I would have to see the molded body kit before I decide, but still its just my opinion. Some might like your idea and some may not, who cares, some don't like chrome and I love chrome wheels your the one driving it and paying for it so go for it. Any way I like the shaved door handles. My boy just got some. Real clean looking. The molded body kit do you have an example car that has one you could post ?

If it is a daily driver I say no don't do it, not because it is ricey but because it is a hassle to deal with everytime you drive your car. If it is a show car then I would say do it because IMO it looks good.

I would say no to molding your bodykit because of possible cracking down the road..I don't care how good your body man is ..All it takes is a parking block or misjudged drive way..As for handles being ricey??I would say that is not the case.But, bottom line is it's your car and you should do what you want and my opinion is

I don't think there's anything that could make LXO's car look bad. =) I'm not a fan of the shaved handles look though. I agree it looks a bit awkward. But, have you considered the inner tails? They're a candidate IMO.

your in penn?
Im in MA. friend of mine did shaved handles with poppers on his supra. its kind of rough in frozen weather. get some deisel poppers rated at like 150lbs or something to make sure.
and yeah, do what you think is right man. What matters is if you like the way your car looks

As others have said, do what YOU like. Just be secure in your choice and if you catch flack about it, stand firm on your decision.
I'm not a big fan of the shaved handles and if you mold a kit, make sure it has the right lines to ensure the car does not look to "bulky" at the bottom!
Once again, the choice is yours, if you let us mod a car for you, it would have 5 different kits, 2 different exhaust cannisters and 4 different wheels!!! LOL I'm not even gonna START on suspension! LOL
