the car looks pretty good in my opinion, i like something that is differnet and not just like everybody elses. The only thing that i think ruins its look is those stock rims

Why does everyone wanna make their car look like a Ferrari or some other car it's not? I don't get it. All you're doing is being a poser. Not to mention it's ricer-ish to me. IMO, you'd be better off with cardboard ground effects than a body kit to make your car look like another one.

you make valid points, but you could also say why bother making you car make 500 hp, youre just trying to make it like a viper - people do it for the sake of doing it not to mention saying look what i did to my car and blowing the doors off a viper

on the body kit point - id like to see a kit that is on the market that makes an fc look even remotley like a ferrari the bomex kit ive got for my FC gives it a much more aggressive stance and the side skirts accomidate the wheels much more attractively than the factory curves did. it still looks like a 7 so whats the big deal?
IMO you just cant afford a body kit and your post was made in a jealous rage

Just because a car has 500 HP doesn't mean it's a Viper, it means that the car has some serious work done to it, and that you definitely know what you're doing. I'd give anyone props that has an FC that puts down 500 HP and spanks a Viper. I'm just not one of those people that tries to make my car look like something it's not. If it's a RX7, it's a god damn RX7, nothing else.

You didn't get my point about body kits. I don't mind the ones that give the car some more curves and ridges to make it looks sleeker or more aggresive, I just hate the ones that you put on to make your car look like something else (Ferrari). In fact, there are some body kits I really like because they go well with the car and looks like it should be there. I've seen a really nice one on a BMW M3 that looked like it came stock with the car, and was really sweet looking.

In actualilty, I'm not much of a body kit fan. I admit they are a cool addition, but I'd do many more things before I dropped 500 or 600 dollars for a nice kit. Not hating on anyone here that does have one. There is no jeleousy here. I'm tons more jeleous of those people that have bone stock FC's that are mint than the people that have a FC with a body kit and paint and all that. Call me stupid for it, but I love what a nice white FC looks like stock.
