I'm getting it painted something like a Storm cloud gray, you think that would help solve that problem? i have a WS-6 ram-air hood, High-rise spoiler, and T/A rear bumper, the sides and front look kind of naked.

I think it looks cheap on these cars. It also doesn't flow with the cone shape of the bumper at all.

I think the side skirts would look good....maybe a simple lip or chin spoiler for the front.

Post some pics of your car, I want to see a Formula with the TA hood and hatch.

I don't think it looks too bad...the wheels cloud the judgment though...they are terrible, which may make the kit look bad too.

You would be better off just buying the 6LE front lip diffuser, it would look better than that.

I don't hate it. If you satin black the body kit it will look more modern. I just always hated the rear piece it comes with.

In my opinion it looks ockey-pooey. At least you're not considering those wheels, because if I looked at those for too long I'd turn my unborn children into orphans.

You're right it doesn't look ricey but still doesn't flow with the body of the car at all. It looks way out of place. go with the one from 6LE but hurry they're closing up shop soon.
