Thumbs down

If you get that, make sure to get a huge spoiler and fart can. Also, you'll need to go the grocery store to get some rice to fill your tank with. If you are considering getting this for your car you should be ashamed. You should also be sterilized.

it's certainly not my taste but it looks like it will fit. I don't see where the turn signal lamps or fog lights would relocate to, so be prepared to hook up new lighting. Also, don't forget to squeeze some 26"s on it. LOL

If you like that body molding kit then that's cool. Each to their own. Just not my thing. But most aftermarket body kits are not very well made, don't fit very good, and are a bit flimsy.

That in no way shape or form makes it look like a BMW. At all. From any angle. All I see is 15 year old econo box made of tin can with 1.6 liters of "meant-to-save-gas-but-I-swear-is-fast" power. Don't do it, unless you drop a V6 into that GP and take off all GXP badges . We can't have something like that associated with us!!11!!

Bad things happen when you try to make american muscle look like a ricer. Kinda like putting a nissan engine in a 65-66 mustang and making a drift car. Man, that movie was gay. Kit is fugly!!!
