The wacky thing is, you'd be surprised just what people would buy. I've discussed this before with some manufacturers explaining to them that us, the "Net-forum" people would think kits like these are too drastic. Yet their stance is that we are a small percentile of the market... and most people do want something completely different.

On the east coast for instance, Cavaliers and Tiburons are huge... would we ever want to put a Cavalier Street fighter kit on here on the West coast? No. On the forums, the Cavalier owners even laugh at it. Yet it's one of the best selling kits out there.

Side Note: MikeFD3S... you planning to head out for SS9 this year? There's a huge caravan meeting at Cerritos Mall.. wish I still had some sort of Rotary to drive with there, but I'll end up going with the IS.

I think its just too "chunky" for the IS which is a sexy, svelte car. Its like seeing a super model in a mini-skirt, halter top, and Timberland Boots!

The design itself is not too bad, I just think it should be throttled back about 30-40% on the depth

the thing is that this forum isnt only west coast or east coast or even specific to the usa. this is the internet, the forum is international.

So how are you so certain that cavaliers and tiburons are so pop on the east coast? Is there spreadsheet or something you looked at?

I sell bodykits to dealers across the world that's why :P I was surprised to see which vehicle owners bought what type of kits. I would have never in a million years expect someone to buy an Astro van body kit, but they have. Or have someone order a 91 Taurus body kit. Suzuki Aerio kit sells pretty well in certain parts of the east coast.

Since I'm located in the West coast, I've not seen many SUV/Truck body kits... but they are one of the top sellers in the south eastern part of the US.

So ya, that's why I would know for certain.

Default extreme dimensions vip kit

Sorry if this is already posted...I searched for "extreme dimensions" here but found no pics. Got this off of Google, and wanted to get your opinions:







From: http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-new...s-ar14018.html


The sides and rear look pretty nice...the front doesn't fit this car, IMO.

Just wanted some opinions...no flames please if this is already posted; just point me to the thread.


---

2006 IS 350, Matador Red/Tan/Tint, Hacked NAV/MLS, Sports Package, Illuminated Door Sills, Tanabe Exhaust, 20" VOLK GT-C
