This is Larry's ride . . . very sick. If you want to go with it, I suggest molding the rear and sides. It comes out nice and sleek like his blacked out VIP mobile. But you just have to be a lil more careful driving around, especially with fiberglass.

On the other hand . . . if you are able to get your hands on a TRD body kit that would look smooth too. That would be sick too.

who cares what other people think of it...

just keep in mind that having a BW kit, which is fiberglass, has potential to crack especially due to how low it is in the front....
im sure youll scrape pretty often and those who are newbies to the field of driving a lowered car with an agressive kit like that are bound to fukkkk up the kit quick...
speed bumps and nasty inclines are your worst enemies........

overall it looks nice... but have the kit install the right way and dont cheap out

i'm in the process of fitting my BW kit on (finally!) and it's a bitch for the custom shop to put on. in the end, they only took my front bumper, as that had the most workable fit.

keep in mind the side skirts WILL MOST LIKELY have to be refabricted.

The kit is nice and looks aggressive, but I've had too many problems. The front is always a pain to deal with. I've got JIC coilovers with it sitting as high as it can go and I still scrape. :x I'd highly suggest getting the TRD sides, mainly because if you go to certain shops with lifts, there won't be any problems. Man, I really like the look, but I've got something new coming in a couple of weeks. 8) Good luck with your kit - and don't mold the front!
