not liking the first one.

the second set of pictures is the Genius kit. I only know of one member in the US that had that kit (MaierApril). http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?showtopic=1742&hl=

And I really dislike those gauges.

would be cheaper to just buy a new car than make a tiburon fast... they are fun toys, just best to do with it what you prefer.

RD Tiburon = $3000
Custom Turbo = $2500

$5500 for a good looking and rare car that will run mid 13's. Tell me about this cheaper, faster, new car you speak of.

Fox body Mustang.
LT1 F-Body.
It would be hard to find a LS1 F-Body for $5500 but maybe if you're lucky.

the second kit reminds me of a snow plow.

187sks knows what I mean seen several fox body stangs for sale since I have bought my tib kinda sickening knowing how much I spent on my 07, and nothing against people who like them, but I think the RD tibs are ugly as sin... that purely personal opinion though.

^i've heard that a lot and i still don't know in what sense. if we forget about its sales successes and failures and look at it aesthetically, i'm up for pure debate just to try to understand this because i just cannot see why. i've heard it looks like ice cream, or soap, or a frog. i'd love to discuss this against other cars. but i'm afraid that other people might not be able to handle themselves debating this, some even take it personally!

the foxbody sure it's cheap and it's fast. i've done doughnuts in one my friends. but it's like 4,000 pounds, and he could never drive it because he couldn't afford the gas. you literally watch the gas meter dropping. i agree with Morningstar, i'm assuming when he said buying a new fast car is better, we're talking about a person with some sense. like an average person who wants to stay away from the mechanic and the junk yards, the gas stations, and get to work comfortably and quietly.

all those bodykits are very strange looking, and played out. it's way better to spend that $4,000 making the tiburon perform better, then to smack a $4,000 bodykit paint job into some curb.
