Default Body Kit poll.

Which one of these two do you guys think I should get. The Vizages (Yellow one w/o the ugly wing) OR the Evolution one. Both will be painted either black or a Spectra bluish.

Yellow one seems a bit too extreme, but that's just me. I'd vote for the black one

I'm sorry, but NEITHER. They seem almost TOO VIPish. Look around at some other companies IMO.

Both are way too extreme for my tastes.

If I had to choose... simple.. Evolution.

I know the two are completely the opposite. I LOVE the Evolution, but the problem is that it is made of fiberglass so it will break since I drive 50+ miles a day. The Vizage is poly urethane so it is OEM quality. The reason I am comparing these two is because the both cost around $3000 which is my price range.

I drive 50+ miles a day in my GS which also doubles on weekends as the DEMO car for Junction Produce. I have to keep the kit in tip-top shape! My kit is made out of FRP and I believe the Evolution will be also. I have no cracks in my body kit at all...

Downtown Houston streets are hell on a car. They're potholes and dips all over the place. Im scared that if I hit a bump or irregularity the kit will hit the ground and crack. Because of the potholes and such, I had to change my tires from low pro to regular fat tires The tires kept bruisng. I realize that fiberglass CAN be repaired but it would be fairly expensive. I want to buy a kit that will actually last me atleast 3/4 yrs. I dont want a kit with cracks and patches everywhere.

Does anyone know how big of a lip I'd need for the back rims? I just realized that if I get the widebody kit the rims are gonna be about 4gs atleast. Maybe I can find a good used pair with fat lips?
