i guess just think about what your gonna do and realize what kind of driver you are and if it suits your style. if it does, then go for it. dont let anyone bully you aound by telling you what to chose or that its "ugly". do what you like and thats all that matters. just my .02.

i think ill go have a beer and stare at my car for a while.... :evilbat:

take a good look at the front end of a dodge avenger years 1995-2000. The filled in grill on this kit makes it look WAY too similar to my old Dodge Avenger for me.. If you had the "Solara Grill" put into it, i think it would look really sharp, plus would let lots of air into your rad for less chance of overheating...... Minus the space between the headlights, (where the cut out should be) it is a really sharp kit.

I havn't seen the front bumper on any other picture, or car on the streets. The rest of the body kit is the same as the black widow also known as spyder kit. i have that same back bumper and side skirts on my solara. I just cracked my front bumper and was thinking about gettin the same front bumper but for the same reason im not so sure. i havnt seen it on any other car. anyway heres the back bumper and side skirts on mine!!

No prob, there was a little fitment problem on the back bumper and took some modifying, but you have to expect that with most fiberglass body kits. Let me know what you think of that bumper and if you find any pics of it. I just cracked my front bumper from all the damn snow we got here in CO. So im looking to get a front bumper!
