It looks good, but....
the only way it is going to look hot is if it remains still

You can't drive it on the street like a normal car: you would leave a trail of car parts behind....

I would disagree. As long as you drove it like you had some sense you can roll anyway you want. I think it looks tight, well done.

Just my two cents.

that's not low, you can still see tires, my crx and '99 civic coupe both had a little more than 2" clearance on the front bumper, I'm talkin' 4" drops with ground effects. I'd hit a good bump in the road and the front bumper and headers would hit. Then again, back then I drove like crap. That's totally driveable

.....car could look good, first remove the stickers they make it look lame, and others will say that not low, that's horsesh*t....I have run the gambit of low,low cars...they look sweet, forget ever having a smooth ride though, and chicks boobies bounce hard, which is fun to watch, but they get alll embarassed

with all due respect to anyone whos opinion i am about to blast, i appologize in advance.

the top gun kit for carisma is not only a knock-off, its the fricken ugliest thing i have ever seen. I was at the sema show as well and when i saw that IS i wept. I dont know if it is fast or not, thats a nother topic, but that is cheap *** plexiglass! there is a kid in my town who thinks hes hot stuff cause he bought that kit and tells everyone he has a "greddy t3 turbo on it". The kit wobbles and shakes when it drives. huge gt wing and carbon fiber hood on a white IS with a Lexus decal on it. AHHHHH if you want to destroy a car by ricing with cheap crap that happens to be somewhat expensive, DO NOT DO IT TO A 30k+ LUXURY CAR!!

please please no one consider this crap...gahh...i cant tell you how bad it looks moving!!!

i cant even imagine buying that crap! uhhg!!! sorry i really cant tell you how ugly it is. just look at it in another color -
