Body Kit Options - Opinions Please!

Hey everyone...

So I love the original styling of our 1st-Gen GS's, however I'm debating about going the body kit route just to give it a little added flare. Now I've looked around, and I'm trying to be someone economical about the situation, and have found two that I like, and wanted to get some feedback.

The first is the skipper design...

The second is the Veilside...

My car is the ebony green exterior, and I'm debating with that colour, if either of these body kits would look good. For some reason if it ain't black or white then they tend to look somewhat tacky. I love the colour, and intend on repainting the car to make it stand out. I have 18" Chome wheels, but debating about upgrading to 19" (feel that's the best size for our cars).

So I value all opinions or suggestions for other kits...please post pics as well as cost. The skipper one is being sold on ebay for $600 which to me is a steal, however I assume I would have to purchase the JDM foglights. The Veilside one, I have found a few people selling privately for a little bit more.

Thanks!!

I like the Veilside. The JDM Skipper looks like it was bolted on as an afterthought IMO. Of course, I'm biased. I'll be putting the Veilside on my car soon.

Yea, no skipper. Veilside is a better choice of the two. Or you could try the Wald kits they have for our cars. Only a few hundred more in price and looks way better.

IMO i dont like either, i have a few saved that i plan on getting in the FAAAAAR future when i get enough money. ill show you a few, i must go find them first

ok cant find them all but the ones i really liked and i think flowed the best are the JP one, but its overpriced imo.

this one Kazz Sports GS147 Aero Kit Type II http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1021 i like the way that one flows, not to many sharp cuts, its very clean looking

heres another Win Sports GS147 Aero Kit Type I, http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=781 that one is also plain but i think it flows well.

IMO I feelin the veilside and the job design, my gs color is a very worn-out and sun burned maroon which is a no brainer for me that it must go. I like the new burgundy color on the 3rd gen that's out now but I know it's gonna cost.Can anyone give the website for the job design and the veilside.

The veilside is a racer look while the aimgain and job design are simpler and cleaner. It all depends on the look you want to go for. Also, if you haven't done suspension yet, you should consider doing it soon after the kit because your car will look worse with a bodykit and no drop. Good luck!
