Question Body Kit?

I was just wondering if anyone has some pics of a ws6 with a body kit on it? I was thinking about doing it, but I didn't know how it would look. A red ta would be great but any type of pic would help.

No!!! Please don't do the Wings West or RKSport lip kit. Looks like trash to me. It'll really hurt the body lines of your car.

its all opinion, but i personally do not think a T/A needs any body kit. that is half or the trans am package, the different body.

i really wouldn't get a kit if i were u. i used to want ground effects but there is nothing offered for the ta that isn't wack. For instance if you were going to get a kit the ww one is the only one out there and the front lip creates a body line across the front of your car. The side skirts are all good but then you move to the back and all you get is two add on pieces that create more body lines and don't flow across the back. The front and rear pieces just don't look like they were meant to be there and are not designed well enough to flow with the existing body lines.

think about this for a long time before you spend 600-700 bucks for parts alone. after shippng, paint, install your looking at about 2-3k. i would suggest performance mods or if you are set on appearance get some badass rims or if you already have those some ghost flames or something.

Check out my webshots page for some good looking ta's without gfx kits if your interested. http://community.webshots.com/user/nealwku98ta

there is only one ta that has the kit that i even remotley like and can be seen at projecttransam.com

Well if anything...the Bird of prey kit is pretty nice. But on the other hand, I say lower it, nice rims, and a bad *** paint job.
