Not mine but this is by far my favorite. I wish somebody would pick up on it and make it. I think it compliments the classic look of the 7 with out trying to change it.

i disagree the body kit is not ugly, it's not my style but that's because i'm not much for aesthetics, but i think its a good looking body kit and more respectable than any mass produced since HE did all the work, just my 2 cents lol

Whether you like it or not is one thing, but until you can build one better from scratch then there's no reason to rag on it. Openshot and his dad did a lot of custom hand work to make the front end and side skirts. You should at least show some respect for the skill it takes to do that. Skill that I'm betting you don't have and most likely will never develope.

Even with all the work I did installing and modifying my widebody, I don't think I could match the skill level that went into his mods from scratch. So whether I like it or not, I respect the work/skill that went into it.

You should put some sort of lip, or splitter, (even a nice rounded black piece of metal riveted to the underside would work) and painting the blue mesh a non-reflective black? I think that would raise the aggression and racey style up a bit. That blue chicken wire is really hurting the look of your car, but the kit isn't really that bad.
