The thing that really makes the Sc is the way the front end rounds off from top to bottom. It's sleek and sexy. This kit comes straight out and blocks off and I bet that a true side shot rather than this 3/4 shot would render this kit fugly.

Looks like it comes out and stub noses.

I love the way the SC's nose rounds off, it makes the car IMO.

am i the only one that has a problem with not having tail lights and or turn signals??

i think its a good looking kit, but the rear would have to be taken down to under the tail lights... not in the middle. the diffuser looks fine. other than that, its not bad.

not my style, but it doesnt look bad. ill try to get a nice photoshop of what im talking about.


looks like an Aston Martin to me...

I actually like the rear better than the front. I agree with OLT that the rounded front end really does make the SC very sexy. That and copying the aston martin grill and slapping it on ANY other car is well.... rice

Donovan - visit Soarercentral.com - many Soarer TT's there and a huge source of knowledge - as is this site.

I think the kit is very clever, the way it uses part of the rear lights to create a newer look

Talk about Aston Martin - have a look at THIS!!!

and how does it give off a rice vibe?

i think it looks more classy then a lot of other body kits for the SC, just because it doesn't look like stock doesn't automatically make it a rice burner

afterall, i dont see any ridiculous wings on it or space shuttle body kits

i totally agree, the rear looks nice, if those were LED tails!
but one thing that can be improved upon is that piece running below the exhaust and back into the lower side bumper should be flush and the center of the bottom bumper could have diffusers or something which would look very nice,

this kit is nice and different, ide rock the rear and sides but not the front, maybe with an AC front
