Default VLENE Existence 3GS aero kit

I was wondering if you guys have ever seen this kit on a 3GS in the flesh. I think its the nicest kit for the GS, and I have never seen another member with this kit. The JP, Aimgain, and autocouture seem very common. I quit smoking 4 months ago. If I make it to 6 months I am getting a kit. I want to reward myself

Rear is okay, but I don't like the front.

i don't like any of the pieces.

front mouth doesn't match the lines of the car

side skirts looked tacked on.


rear bumper = wtf is up with that arch. it's eating into the bulk of the bumper.

DO NOT WANT!

There is your reason for why the A/C and so on are preferred by people who actually buy the stuff and why its more seen then the kit you talk of. Also, if you haven't noticed... maybe 20% of people actually go out and buy kits and stuff... they tend to be the trend setters while others wait around for an "example"

agreed...but i think the ratio is lower than 20% in the 3rd gen community.

I haven't seen the front but that rear certainly looks different.
Main thing is if you like it, what does what everyone else thinks matter.

yes. if you like it.

just be careful choosing because often the kits are demo'd in black color, which hides all the details.

any black car with any kit looks good from afar.

if you love the vlene kit and you can afford to get it, go for it. YOU be the trend setter, and let the rest of us follow in your footsteps!

btw, smoking is bad for you anyways. it's good to hear you quit; your heart and lungs will love you for it

+1 on both comments.
QUit smoking 20 years ago and I don't miss it one bit. Can't believe I did it actually. The thought of putting dirty soot into my mouth and body....knowing it could shorten my life....

kit or no kit the quitting the smoking was the best thing for me. I just realized that I will have to have the kit ( lip or bumper replacement) covered in a custom cut lex shield
