yes, yes, and no-...

i like the FRONT of the veilside, i hate the back, and change my opinion frequently on the side skirts. i think the front really compliments the curves and lines of the rd2's. my one gripe about the front is that it is a bit too low... as for the stock front-... dare i say it looks a bit miata/girlish? i'd really like to see a nice side skirt that doesn't interrupt what i call the "back of a spoon curve" (back of door front of 1/4 panel). i've seen the other kits, some are more appealing than others. i hear the phrase cowcatcher being thrown around, to me, a body kit is made to give a car a more sporty/exotic look. so then next time you drool over a ferrari, just think about how many cows they can catch w/ those vents/air dams and w/e else you wanna call em'. the vs kit is super outplayed it seems like 30% of the rd2's i see on the road have the vs/knock off. as for the knock off's, how many people here have knock off parts such as ebay headers v.s. obx v.s. evofusion yaddy yadda? the fact is some people do it cheaper (some even do it better). they don't all fit great because some people just don't care and want the cash. after spending so much money on perfomance goodies, i'm sure that most of us would spend their pennies wisely on a kit. example being, if the body kit is highly likely to being damaged, you don't want to buy the cheapest one possible (cause you'll be replacing it everytime you scrape) and you don't wanna dish out a few grand for a top of the line one in case you were to catch a cow. well there's my 2 cents!

i like the studie, linetech, carcept and erebuni 657 as for the vs kit it is by far the ugliest bodykit ever made (but just my opinion) to be honest i'm not even a fan of the zefiro just too busy for me and i voted no,no,yes

I'm so sad that my body kit made it into the worst kit category. 02.gif

How can you say this an ugly kit? *cry*

^^^^ Actually, if I didn't have my mind set about the VS from the start, this is the kit I would get. I guess we have bad taste! wink1.gif

Spiffy, I personally love RD2 Cuda kits minus the spoilers. A shark spoiler would look nicer IMO.

That's just it. My favourite kit is a mixture of several different kits.

I like that kit a lot, but unfortunately SR/EVo Fusion/TSR/SPiido is associated with it.

i voted no, no yes (depends on the quality i guess)

as for my favorite body kit i would have to say Ixion front and skirts with a Zefiro Turbo rear
i dont mind the VS kits really, i loved them at first but the side vents just seem more and more awkward the more i look at it...
