I'll be another bad guy and say that the side skirts just doesn't flow with the front and rear lips.

I agree the side skirts don't really work, I will say that it's got a bold approach just like the GS so it fits the build. Looks good though.

Sweet, this was my first choice before I found out about the Modellista. I think the angles of the pictures did not do the front justice. The rears are the best available to our cars to-date. The sides are different but overall its still a great looking kit. Nice to see the Non-Fsports getting some love.
Wheels and drop going to set this bad boy off right. Cannot wait to see the finish product, looking good thus far.

Wow, harsh criticism. I do agree that the side skirts are a bit busy, but overall I think the kit works and should look fantastic with 20" rims. I do agree with other posters who've said the F Sport looks great stock, but yours will truly be unique and stand out.

i like everything except the skirts... waiting for the other 3 mods, that might change my mind on the skirts once the car is dropped with the new wheels and BBK. overall she looks great.

If VIP is the end result your aiming for then I think this kit will work right but if not VIP then to me just looks a lil too much for my taste

After a brief look at the front lip I think it's a lil too aggressive for such an elegant car. It'll look more right with s2k or other 2dr sports cars but rear lip looks perfectly in place.

Thanks for all the comments. Originally I was planning to just install a F-sport front bumper. But after Wald came out the kit for non-Fsport, I decided on this. It does look a little too aggressive but I sure like the uniqueness of it.

...maybe change out the grill to the f-sport version. I really like the rear. The front..., like you said, it's nicer in person; picture probably doesn't do it justice.

I think the drop and 20'' will change the look and will match the more aggressive front end.
