I actually kind of like that kit though, if you had the power to back it up. I think the inlets are a bit too large, but it changes the shape of the car, and still looks decent.

If you make it functional (brake ducting, TID, large vent in middle to feed FMIC, Radiator etc, even better!

EDIT: If you rolled the rear fenders a bit (not as much as a widebody kit) and the front a tad, it would add a nice beefier touch to it, and help for those that might be stickin 305's in the rear.

I learned how to link to an image from another forum. Just because I am new to this one does not make me a "noob" there are thousands of forums in the internet not just car ones. And what is wrong with the wing I picked out?

.. that white body kit is for an S4 only, so says erubini.. as for that wing.. I hope you don't live around here, If I saw that on your 7 I'd die laughting while driving.. then I'd mess up my 7 becuse I'd be dead from laughter.. then it wouldn't be funny anymore and I'd have to track you down from the grave and kill you for having such an idiotic wing....

actually looking at the white kit it looks like someone's modified the pic.. put a fugly 4.6L rustang bottom end on the front bumper, changed the light to a shape that belongs on a focus not an FC and added in some hood vents.

well first off it would never fit the FC, the base of the winf spreads out too much to fit the 1.75 wie rear deck beside the hatch, so if you did somehow mount it it would LOOK hacked on. Next the wing sits up straight .. which means your hatch will probably hit it , next it's a poor, overgrown copy of a much smaller saloon style BTCC wing the dimentinons are grossly over exagerated, next the wing's size will make the back end,( of a very light and nimble looking 7 ), look like it weights in at 1200 lbs.. but from my own stand point.. the wing on a 7 , or just about any car, looks like it comes from the 2F2F fan club buyers guide. AKA: the best of rice VOL 2 ..

but thats my opinion..

the white body kit posted above is Dltreezan's prototype kit. he's going to be making it himself here pretty soon.... or maybe he's started already? he's already made the hood.

its definetly not the erebuni kit, and it definetly is a modified pic.
