i have always thought mariahs the most rediculous looking kits out there (THE WIDE BODIES I MEAN. i want a full mode 4 for my se some day)

However, seeing more and more pics, w/ the full out, the hatch, wide body, they are really growing on me.

what is wrong with me!?!?!??!

the 2nd one isn't a Mariah kit, it's "custom" (though I've seen it on 3 or 4 different cars)

2nd one iotus. Mantis, its a custom, one off car using a porsche body kit. I doubt theres more than one of these cars in existance. Then again the guy who did it lives up there with you in the great white north, so maybe hes done a few others?

i like the mariah kits, but not the doofy hatch treatment. it kinda makes it look like a cheap fiero knockoff

Those things both don't look like they would help aerodynamics much. Its like dead ending and causing a bit of turbulence draggin on the car. I think I will stay stock indefinitely.
