stock body? bodykit? or lipkit?

Just want to see what everyones opinions are one the 3 options.

1 - leave the body stock
2 - add a bodykit (if so which one?)
3 - add a lipkit (if so which one?)

this is in regards to a FD

There are some beautiful bodykits out there for the FD, if your willing to pay the price for the quality. As long as you don't go too showy it will look good. Find something functional, something you aren't going to tear up going up and over speedbumps, driveways etc. In my personal taste I would go with just a 99 Spec bumper and lip and leave it at that. That's just me though. It's your car so look around and see if you find anything you like. if you do and you want to drop the cash on it then do so. You don't need to impress anyone but yourself, and of course, the ladies.

Don't get me wrong I will for sure do what I want to do and not what others think are the way to go.

Main reason I bring this topic up is because I would like to see what others are doing? what make and style of parts they are using as I am new to the FD.

I hate big ricey/showy kits...want something with a subtle sleek design.

Well I have found exactly what I am looking for in regards to the rear and sides. But what is the name of them? who makes it? Where can I order this?

Thats a rotary extreme carbon fiber rear diffusor, GOOD LUCK trying to find one, lol. My comp wont load that pic any larger, so i cant help you out on the sides unfortunatly. Heres my car with the same diffusor: https://www.rx7club.com/v-8-powered-rx-7s-299/spy-photos-my-lsx7-supercar-733048/

EDIT, i lied, the pic finally loaded, i am unsure of the rear diffusor's maker, but those are FEED style carbon fiber side skirts, i have those as well..

FEED type II wing (if you can find one, i have one too ) is money. The 99 specs are too big and bulky and throw off the proportions of the FD chassis in my opinion.

Yeah...and what's your ******* point? I've owned 2 Evos along with an FD and a few other 400+ HP imports in the past. Besides, I didn't say I was trying to impress anyone...so shut the **** up if you don't have anything useful to add. The SVT Focus is a great handling daily driver, and that's all I wanted at the time.

The stock lines of the FD (I'm guessing that's what we're talking about here) are gorgeous the way they are. It truly needs nothing to look amazing. The only addons that might enhance the look of the car are the '99 spec aero parts, or for a slightly more aggressive look, the FEED style wing and sideskirts with an R1 lip. The FEED spoiler looks really good on the FD, and gives it just a slightly more aggressive look in the back. The actual body panels, however, are better left alone, unless you plan on upgrading to the '99 spec front bumper.

Wow what a baby! you made a stupid comment thats my point.

What was constructive about your comment about impressing 15 yr olds?
Who cares what you had in the past and don't try and make excuses for why you have a Focus. Your still GAY
