That kit doesn't look good. Just go with a Vertex kit.

I had a Raceonusa kit on my car before I went 97+ with a lip. The front bumper is hell. Make sure you have a good bodyshop guy that will take the time to make it work because the craftsmanship on the bumper out of the box is pure crap.

The rears and sides fit pretty good. I know they advertise that its all flexible and what not, but the problem was really on the front bumper where "thinning" occurred in some areas; where you could almost poke through with a finger. Your body guy will have to repatch that.

My intentions aren't to start another "legit v. knock-off" thread. I just wanted to give you an idea about how it'll fit.

IF it can still save you a few bucks, I say get their side and rear and save up for the real front bumper.

Overall, I'm not a fan. Those side skirts look like moldings of PVC pipes hanging down from the sides. I don't understand that big, bulky, thick nonsense. The front bumper is decent. I was with you on the big wing (as long as you have a good kit) but on this one my vote = No.

I think it has to do with the color too... That kit on a white car just doesn't catch my attention like the black SC does/did.

Its a little busy for my taste...but if you're going to boost it enough to fill that gaping hole in the bumper then no one can really say anything haha

I agree...sides/rear are nice...the front just don't flow right...cleaner is always better at the end...i would do a nice clean lip...I mean what guy doesn't like nice lips on his b*tch
