The company's initials are ED, Extreme Dimension? Did they think about that for a minute or did they just think it up and run with it? Maybe it's just me, but I associate ED with something completely unrelated to cars, unless it's NASCAR and a major sponsorship deal.

HIDEOUS!!!

I can't see anyone paying over $1,000 for that kit. For that kind of money, I would probably add a little more and get an OEM or a TOM's kit.

kind of grows on you.. at first i didnt like it much either.. but after awhile, i think its ok. i know its not the greatest kit.. i actually wanted ING lip kit, but since ED is close to my house and they needed a test car i just went for it.. didnt know how it was going to turn up. and well after having the car for awhile, its not bad. just need new rims and exhaust for sure.. cant even see the exhaust tip, so after some adjustments and mods i think it'll be ok.

We're simply discussing whether you like the kit or not, no need to attack a company. If you are so astute on designing kits, why not show us what you think would be a good looking kit.

I didn't add the RSX part of the quote there... perhaps one of the moderators did? I'm not sure, I added the top three. Someone added the 4th option there.

Like I said, I personally don't like any bodykits on this car in particular. But to judge this kit on it's own merits, I think it's pretty good. It is a bodykit, not a simple lip kit. It is meant to make the car quite different, and not just enhancing the look. I understand not everyone will have the same opinions... but since I am new to the Lexus line of cars, it seems people want to keep their Lexus subtle, and not too drastic.

I just find it somewhat odd the same people that criticize the look of this kit, saying how tacky it is, and how over the top it is, are some of the same people that consider changing light bulbs as a true mod, and having 20" Maya wheels as something spectacular.

I didn't make a thread asking an opinion. I replied with my opinion to a thread asking my opinion.

If you don't like my opinion, you have every right to disagree. Asking me to "design kits" is outside my expertise. It would be akin to me saying "well if your car is so fast, why don't you race my Supra?" Kinda immature and childish, wouldn't you say? Which also might be a fair criticism of my post. But design a kit? No way. I have no talent for it.
