Hey!
I'm sure that by now you're all sick of my indecisiveness but here's another dilemma I am now facing.
Once I get the rims & a couple of other bits & pieces, I'm wondering if it's worth kitting the car at all.
Here's how the car will look with the rims & CF Evo hood... A bit like Patreezy's car really (which I reckon is sweet btw).
Here's how it might look with the kit (Trial front, GT Tech sides & either GTR pods or King pods/replacement rear).
The cost difference will be $2000 or thereabouts.
Do you think it's worth bothering with?

I dunno bout the kit, when you held the front bumper up to the car for pics honestly I HATED it. But these photochops look alright...

sorry, do not do that kit.. it does not match anything on the car. Other wise I like it. The side skirts are nice and would work well with the king style rear.. but do not use that front bumper.

you know either way itll be a really sexy car man... I for one love that front bumper because theres nothing else like it. Its got that agressive look without the over the top styling of something like the veilside. The funny thing is I usually dispise kits but i still voted yes!! lmao.gif If it will look like the chop, i say go for it

The small side vent on the bumper sort of ties-in with the one that is at the front edge of the GT Tech skirts (cannot be seen on my chop but trust me, it's there wink1.gif ). The way the side edges of the bumper sort of "kick out" flows with the way the skirts do as well, towards the rear wheel. The big gaping openings at the front are perfectly positioned for the CAI filter in the fender-well & radiator (possibly IC too, if I decide to go turbo).
More importantly though, I like the way the bumper looks.
The only thing I would consider doing is to have the horizontal indent/line across the front filled-in before it's painted as that looks out of place to me.
