Perhaps the only reason you think they all look the same is becuase Vertex and Vertex k/o's are king here. I assure you though, that there are many different styles of aero products for the Z30 soarer ranging from VIP style, to sporty style, to funky style.
freakin hawt front bumper.
i'd try to modify the middle to look more like that green Scion tC(splitter only...floating)
and the sides in that pic annoy me

You really think so? Looks more like the car is sticking it's tongue out at us!

Go here to see a great sampling of kits for the SC.

And they're a CL vendor!

I think i'll end up getting a lip kit for the 92-96 style bumpers (for some reason the 92-96 style bumpers with a lip just come off very clean to me), I know I should search and I will but anyone know of some clean, nice fitting, good/durable material lip kits for 92-96 while this thread is already made (I know searching should bring up a few but just trying to get some feedback of the quality and such which searching may bring up little results about that).

I'm not trying to get on anyone nerves or anything and fellow SC brothers I really HATE ricey kits with big inserts and vents covered with mesh. That totally look like hell and don't follow the lines of the cleanily sc lines one bit that belongs on riced hyundais and neons (As I mentioned before I am totally a fan of nice clean kits that flow with the lines, especially lip kits ). I hope I didn't come off like someone who wants some ricced kits, sorry for any misunderstanding and I really do honestly appreciate all the feedback from everyone who replied with a good knowledgeable response. THANKS!

There is a thread that is stickied title "SC300/400 Aero parts fitment feedback thread". That would be a good place to start.

If those are all similar, then I am Micky Mouse. What kind of style kit are you trying to find? Maybe if you post a picture of a body kit that you like on a non-SC, then maybe some on here will be able to help you find something similar for the SC.

Also, take a look at intellexual.net: http://www.intellexual.net/faq.html#06 There are like 30 different body kits listed on there with links to pictures for most of them. If you want to learn more about a particular kit listed on there....search


Good luck

It's a car....... it won't change into a jet liner with a body kit. (the honda guy's are making efforts to change that). They have a front, rear and two skirts...... it's still gonna look like a car when done.




Dang,the front of that kit got jacked up!

Bottom line.
Search
Look at the aero thread
Look at the FAQ (www.intellexual.net)

There are more than enough SC kits out there. I have to say, coming from the Acua side of the house (Legend) there are no kits for that car, save maybe 3 o 4. The SC has at least 10 nice ones. Pick one. I guarantee you won't see everyone on your block with one. And if so, so what. Dress it up and have fun with it

I don't think that has ever been disputed. The shot kit was Admiration's attempt to step out of the box and create something new... Well, new yes, but appealing, no. They attempted to market shot as a new US VIP Coupe style in Japan (since it was released just when the US Dub style was getting known in Japan.) Needless to say it really never caught on. I dont even think the kit is being produced today. As you can see, it has some fittment issues, and really does not lend itself to the SC's body as it apears to be slapped on. However, this thread was not about what looks good and what doesn't... It was my attempt to show this new guy that there is a large selection of styles for Z30 Aero products.
