I am thinking about not putting a body kit on my car but still do other stuff like cf hood, cf sunroof, cf wing, rims, and some other interior stuff. do you think that would look alright or not? Its kinda a sleeper look. (in a way) just wanted to get some opinions on that. Thanks guys.

Thats all I plan to do to my car. New springs/struts for a lower look, some light 16's, and maybe a CF hood. The Tibs body lines are awesome without a body kit, I really don't see a need for one. Lowered and they look sleek as hell.

my only problem with the tib is the weight ratio, its too heavy up front and not heavy enough in back IMO

yah that list sounds good. you dont need a body kit with our cars for two reasons, 1) it looks good stock 2) you dont see our cars on every corner. im probably going that route too(rims, wing, clearcorners, etc), but that cuda bodykit is something else...

and kit i guarentee you couldnt tell if our cars were 50/50 instead of 60/40

maybe not but i know that somethings not right, id prefer to have the tail drag, i wish more cars would have the engine in the back, the only reason theres not many cars like that is cuz blondes would start putting thier luggage in the engine compartment lol, but no realy, id prefer having a car weight out like, 30F70B, i just prefer sitting as far back with as much hood and having the back drag instead.
