The Vielside kit makes your RD look as if it's had a stroke.

LOL

I prefer your reference to the F-22 or F-16 and SR71 gang raping the Elantra...

Okay, 2 questions for you then.

1. How old are you.

2. How long have you had your RD2?

Yes

No-because I would much rather have the ixion or zefiro kit but not all of us have that much $$$ to toss away.

Yes- Low cost, Big gaudy curves like the rest of the tib, actually makes our car not look like a girl car.

No- with my VS replica, I didn't have that much fitment issues, not many spider cracks, and a helllll of alot cheaper, I mean if the VS was only a few hundred and not a thousand more, sure i'd get it.

This kit draws alot of attention 99% of which so far for me has been positive, flows with the body and its gaudy curves and is ALOT better then stock bumper (barf)

Bottom line IMO is any kit looks better then stock RD2's (minus the rector and 8 eyed lol)

Our stock bumpers scream "look at me I'm a slow girl car trying to be sporty"

How can you say that trainwreck of a cowcatcher FLOWS with the lines on the car?

It looks like someone melted a dildo and a filled baby diaper together and taped it to each front corner of the car.

Don't really like body kits, though the ixion and cuda II kits are really sharp.

I dont like the fact its copied at all. Plus it is just way to bulky and low. Its a show kit becuase its so wild and crazy. But the vs is just not my style at all.

As for my favorites on the RD1 (favorite to least)
Studie
Zefiro
Genius
DPS
Jenis
cuda
vs knockoff


I so agree with TopSpeedFX. I think VS is a bit to overdone as well, but thats my opinion and based on the RD1 type, the RD2 looks a bit better with VS but still, I wouldn't take it. Can't wait for my studie kit to finally arrive smile.gif
