Sorry, but the R34 Skyline look just doesn't work for our cars.

Since someone made this forum, though, do any of you have body kits? I have an S4 GXL, and am thinking I may want to do a body kit before I have it repainted (which it REALLY needs now), and would like any input possible.

Bro do what ever you like dont ask for opinion on here because you know what you ar going to get. Who gives a **** what others think its your car ,your money, your likes.Stop listening to what others think because like that you will never get nowhere.I am sick and tired of my kit because everyone got it...so i will too soon cut mines up and do something diffrent....diffrent is what counts

key advice screw what everyone thinks finish the kit , paint it, and then let people talk smack about your car but in the end you have something unique and everyone will still remember

I LIKE THE KIT...NOW FINISH IT AND DONT POST PICS UNTIL ITS DONE!!!!!

if it's about function...then run with it but if you don't have a massive turbo needing a massive IC then why?

MmSadda....why would you put a kit on a N/A it doesn't do anything but add weight, and to a GXL that's bad, you're not doing it for more flow to the IC and it isn't fast enough to need the downforce so i would suggest against it.....But this is ONLY MY $.02.....I'm not flameing you for it just bringing up a valid question.

In regards to that, i think the bumper he was offering to make is shown in picture #5. Because i remember having interest in it, and i definatly do not like the one in picture#6.

Yeah, CS, You have a valid point. Really, though, I'd probably like to find something that won't add of weight, while changing the look of the car a bit. I dunno... maybe any body kit is rice-y on an n/a. It's not something that'll definitely happen. More of an idea I've been kicking around, because I have a little while before I get it repainted, and now would be the time to do a body kit, if I was going to. Thanks for the input.

I usually say "do whatever you want because it's your car," but please don't. That looks hideous and tacky and it's not the slightest bit aerodynamic.

The one in that link right above this post isn't too bad. I'd run it if I need a huge intercooler. What really gets me about the first one posted is the huge useless holes between the turn signals and brack duct opening. That is what truly makes it look like ***.

hmm, I seriously thought it was the same. Damn similar. The bottom half is gp sports with a duct cut out.

the bumper in the link above is no comparison to the bumper on the first page. the bumper in the link above, i would give the left nut for....the other bumper....kinda hurts to look at it. just the 2cents.

i dunno, im still a fan of the standard GP kit, i think that looks the best of the front bumpers ive seen, altho the second link keeps with the lines and overall feel of the car much more than the first one does
