Brilliant! Junction has put a body kit on a black car (again).
Their marketing person is a genius!

Maybe the kit looks good... maybe it doesn't.
To the guys at JP:

We can't see your body kits on black cars

I understand the entire "Bippu = black/dark colored car," but, hey, how about taking pictures anyplace but in the shade!

For a second, i can only see the wheels as the only mod. Agree with your comment 100%

I think that looks hot. Black does hide the lines but the picture is of good quality so I see things perfectly. I do agree companies should take pictures of lighter colored cars when advertizing the kits cause you don't really get the full effect of it most of the time. In fact, black cars don't need kits as much as lighter colored cars do imo.

i am happy to see that so much stuff are coming for the new LS. i have to agree with bob. black is ok, but they can do much better jobs in taking pics to actually show the kits.... pics like that, really can't see crap

Black/dark colored vehicles will naturally hide the lines of ANY bodykit, regardless of lighting. Plus many of those photos are photoshopped as they are still in concept phase.
