Default Opinions on this body kit

So I was rummaging around my drift tengoku magazines and from the december 2013 issue I happened to stumble across this body kit made by Final Konnexion.





I was curious what you guys thought about this kit.
For me this kit seems like a mix-match of several other kits and designs and was wondering if I was the only one that saw that? lol

The sides don't flow with the bumpers.

My opinion on body kits, "if you like it, and its flow. GO FOR IT"
I made my own little "twist" flow happen. Some love it, some hate it. Build your car for yourself! Besides, $20.00 says if that war was on some works stanced. Everyone would love it...

Tret may be right because I like the Platinum car better and it has Work wheels n' stance ;-)
Still not feeling the rounded sides tho. That bumper is pretty nice. I think i just generally don't like the white car.

Not a super big fan, but I think rims, paint and a drop are gonna make the difference.

What Joey-E said.

Don't let these sheep steer you from what you want. Yours is rare and different. While their goal is to be another Fake 97+

He did not buy it Tret, he posted it and asked for opinions. That was a mistake if one is going for originality and an independent vision.

These cars can be overdone, IMHO. I had a really nice understated kit on my Audi that was outstanding. Problem is, too much chrome and a wild body kit can make you look like a ricer, not a tuner.

But go with what you want, I think. These cars are old and rare enough (at least in Iowa) that anything you do to it will make it stand out.

Jealous of where you live, I am.

i Really like it. So nice to see other kits.

The sides remind me a lot of the WALD kit tho.
