opinions on the 15th anniversary kit

i just wanted to know what the general opinion on this kit was. not that i base upgrades on how other people think or care, but if a certain kit is viewed negitively by a large number of the respective car owners (veilside... but they are viewed as ricey most car owners of any kind) it might give me reason to reconsider. this kit would be the last of my mods after extensive power/suspension/break/chassis upgrades not just to make it a show car. heres some images of the 15th type.

i personally do not like the 15th Anniversary kit. the fender flared look pretty gaudy, IMO. im not diggin the tacked on look.

but that is just my opinion.

i ONLY like the kit when it has a different front bumper....preferably the Cwest one...like crashunits and some other really nice cars. Although i do think the lil gas door thingy is a lil weird i can git over it ....heres a pic of another car that looks just amazing

I have it with the knightsports front end and r1 spoiler. I think it is easily the nicest looking kit out there. Do not get this kit because the more people who get it...the less I will like it. I will key your car..haha jk. Anyway if you do get it...you have to have the front of the front fender flares trimmed off or they will crack. Even that green or chameleon one up above has them cut like that. Also don't get a replica because they have waves. I bought the hood and had to sell it and buy the real one. This kit also costs a little extra to have installed correctly. Don't have the guy mend the kit to your car. It costs an extra grand and It will crack and you'll have to get it redone. I know from experience. It looks fine (depending on what color your car is) not mended in. Mine is black and looks just as good not mended as it did mended. The kit does cost like 3 times what a regular kit costs but it is well worth it.
