Yeah sorry clean85owner, this is a repost. Don't take it personally it pops up every other week. With the exact some question. You can't purchase a body kit like this one, because it's all a custom job. You however can try to do it yourself or have a body shop try to reproduce the results. I know the you can take a pic to a body shop and say, "This is what I want." It will cost you though.


On a personal note....I think it's ugly.

My hope that car has a engine with extensive mod's to back up the body mod's that guy went to great lengths fabercate to fit well on a FB. BTW, I think I wanted to do that too back in '97 when I first saw it. However now, I realize, it would just attract too much attention and wrong attention(cops, thieves & ricers). Or people who rub it the wrong way(keys). ALso, I don't especially like the wing now too i realize.

Is there any way we could delete those pics from the internet?!?! You mights as well buy a wad of fiberglass and mold into whatever shade you want, dry it out, and set it on an acadian's base.

(Psst... Pontiac sold the Acadian in Canada only, Defprun... and Americans think Acadians are an ancient race of quasi Egyptians that look like WWE wrestlers)

Sorry guys, i don't search EVERY page on this site. I saw something i wanted to know about. I could careless if you guys are tired of reposts. If you see that its a repost leave it alone and keep your big mouths shut. All you had to say was they dont make it.

We'll this is a nice way to make friends, you should have used a im sorry guys type of thing. We all like to joke around now and again.

But seriously look at the quarters, do you really think theres a kit to just bolt on and bam it looks like that?

I personally get frustrated with the search engine. It's the only way to know if you've re-posted. I understand why the Admins want to put a grace period between searches, but I think 20 seconds is too long, and minimum word length errors happen even when you use quotes.

It would be nice if they could reduce this to say 10 seconds and allow for connecting words when used in phrases or sentences.

Perhaps just replying with the link of the original post is fine for reposts.

P.S. I don't like the overall kit, but I do like that front lip.

Since this car pops up every other week, why not make it a sticky ("1st Gen Porsche look-a-like that newbies like and others(most of them)don't " ). At least you don't have to insult the newcoming people anymore. After all, they just want to ask something, yes?
BTW: the car's done very good, but hell, that wing is really "number one ricer". Makes me sick :-(
