...cause I am. Just curious what others think about it in terms of style only.

Id have to see a few GP body kits to be tired of them, personally I think if a body kit is used on a 7 then it either was part of functionality or they were going for looks, and so far the only onces ive seen are the full body kits that make the car look like a honda or a ferrari...

Hit up ebay...there's a few there that are typical ricerish kits.

I happen to like the front and sides on this one:



...but the *** is ugly as ****. I have yet to see a rear bumper for the FC that looks better than stock...or even competes.

I'd rather do a s5 conversion to my car. I enjoy the look of the stock body.

I agree, the gp kit is one of the better looking kits for our cars. The only problem is, i cant see spending the money for it if you are learning to race, or drift. It would just get damaged. I do think it compliments the Fc lines very well. I kinda like the panspeed stuff(front overfenders and hood) I like style, but it has to be functional

I'd rather the corksport front, or hell, a stock bumper with a FEED lip anyday.

Hmm. So far it's nearly split opinion.

I just think it's no longer unique or interesting. If someone get's a kit, 90% chance they get that one because it available and follows the drifter-look fad that I hope dies out soon.

I was looking at the "Best Looking 2nd Gen" thread ...and I swear 75% of the FC's had that style bodykit, and therefore could hardly be considered into the category because not one of them didnt stands out among the rest. Doesn't it bother people that the kit isnt unique anymore?
