I am sure most of you guys are not into the whole 'ricer' bodykit stuff by looking at your pics.. heck i wouldn't blame ya.. alot of people in my area drive imports with rediculous bodykits (the kind that look like a fish with fins at the front end) I think its sooo played out that most of the time when I see one, I just laugh thinking wtf is that?? I don't wanna start an argument but do you guys laugh (like I do) when u see stuff like that on the road?

"the kind that look like a fish with fins at the front end"
Which body kit looks like a fish?

Most body kits that i see looks good. Except for the integras with cl conversions, i only laugh at these.

Wow, are you serious? I thought this thing was a joke. Guess not. haha. Yea, i'm not all that big on body kits, except for lip kits, something that makes the car look clean and simple. Wow, im still in shock, what a waste of money.

I think my car would look better if I just got it crushed by one of those massive machines that turns cars into cubes, and it would be cheaper too. And as far as a spoiler, I could just mount a picnic table on the trunk and we could call it a body kit.

I was trying to say a car would look better if it were just destroyed. It probably would have made sense if I had decent grammar, but n/m.

I know what you mean. When you get to flashy it causes a "WTF is that!" experience. What ever happend to simple performance. You did not see this in the 70's & 80's early 90's.
