Telling people not to do appearance mods in the appearance forum doesn't make sense.

Wings West would probably be your best way to go, the Vizage is pretty cool (I have the rear Vizage piece myself) but it's so expensive -- $700+ for the kit. Then add on the price of getting it painted to match the car. The Wings West kits are pretty good, I have the Wings West F-1 OEM kit front and sideskirts and then the Vizage rear skirt I scored from a buddy who got in a frontend accident, insurance bought the whole kit so he had an extra rear piece. In either case, do whichever one you like the most, it's your car.

well, when one asks for opinions on something, they'll get my opinion, which was to not put a body kit on his car.

I'm not a big fan of body kits, although they can look right with certain cars... but I'm not going to look down on you for having one, it's your car, and your sense of style that matters most. If I we're you, I would go with the Vizage kit, if u got the money... But I would do a couple other pretty tasteful mods so the car doesn't look ricey at all, I've seen people do a body kit, altezzas, and wings, too many times. A body kit can look awesome when pulled off right. Good luck

wings west or oem. i think 93-97's look awesome and complete with a body kit. the 98's-02's look better without a body kit. the vizage kit looks way to ricy for my tastes.

IMO bbody kits on fbodies make it look fat (not phat) but overweight, it looks 100x better with about a 1.5" drop on 18's or 17's, but the WW kit looks the bset out of the 2 i think
