Erebuni Ground Effects? Opinions Wanted

OK, since I have an s4 but am pretty in love with the s5 style and don't really like those radical line-changing body kits like gp sports or anything, I was wondering what everyone thinks of the erebuni style 370 kit.

http://www.erebunicorp.com/ge/mazrx786.htm

Give me your feedback, I am planning on putting it exactly like the one in the picture (white, but not the wheels, rpf1's) I figure its better than ruining the stock lines and at the same time gives it the edgy S5 look.

I've always been a fan, especially with a different hood.
I think the new one coming out from a forum member is quite nice though.

I like the skirts and the front bumper is ok, but the center portion of the rear bumper I don't like. I prefer the rear corner skirts or whatever they're called.

I'd rather keep the stock s4 look than getting the erebuni 370. The front is iffy, the lip looks cheap. I'd rather get a FEED lip or a replica instead of the bumper. The rear bumper looks nasty IMHO, I am just not a fan of exaggerated cutouts for exhaust tips and the indentation in the middle of the rear bumper really doesn't belong. I do however like the sideskirts very clean and very subtle.

really? the stock S4?The only thing i saw that was kind of iffy on the 370 is the front bumper, since I will be upgrading to a fmic next week and want something like the S5 with the open gap for the IC to breathe better, but as for the skirts and rear, I think they're not that bad, I wonder if they'll sell me 3 of 4 pieces, how hard is it to mold an s5 bumper on an s4?

You can cut the s4 bumper to make a bigger gap. If your planning on getting a new bumper, might as well give it a shot.

how hard is it to mold an s5 bumper on an s4?
As far as I know it bolts right up, the moldings wont line up perfectly but its not hideously noticable.

there was a rx7 on ebay not to long ago with the same body kit and in my opinion it looked good even tho i am not to up on bodykits. it was the fc that said it was a twin turbo and people ripped on him but the kit didnt look to bad. the pic on spoilers.com just is a bad pic.

Hmmm...body kits. Their allure cannot be denied. But whenever I see a 2G with one, I think it looks like rice.

I suppose if I was restoring a wrecked beater that needed new body parts all around, I might go for it. But replacing perfectly good factory hardware with flimsy pieces of fiberglass just for looks is...insane.

Wouldn't you rather spend your money on a new exhaust system, or a paint job? Even a stereo upgrade seems more worthwhile to me.

My two cents.

Get the 370 rear bumper, and side skirts, but go elsewhere for a front bumper. I hate that "supra" style look and the 370 style doesn't really do anything for me.

Maybe an s5 front bumper with a nice lip or somesuch.
