you are right, we will not flame on this site ( or at least I hope not ) but we will give an opinion. The problem with these kits are imo is the rear, it makes the car look way to bulky and throws the line totally off. in the end it looks like a huge lump of over body kitted mess. The stock GT is about the limit for bulk in imo and the cobra rear or something along those lines really thins teh rear of the fox out and it looks great. 2nd I'm not sure what look you are going for either, with a body kit like that drag wheels look way out of place.

It looks really nice with the welds and teh red paint, if you had the LX front and rear bumper, your hood or a cowl and a set of smoked LX tails. with the clean LX look with those wheels it would look so sick.

again though my opinion. glad you like it, I give props for the effort. don't take anything the wrong way if we don't like it/agree/ or see your vision. some didn't agree with my car either.

I'll second that about the back bumper (I'm even regretting buying the one I got). It goes back too far. Your front cover with the hood looks awesome man. I'm going to be getting lights like yours too (the one piece). When its all said and done, YOU drive the car so feel free to do as you please. Originality is where its at!

Thanks for your honest opinions i actually was talking abouy the rear bumper to my girlfriend right after i installed it and i was kind of thinking of doing GT side skirts and possibly GT rear bumper i love the front of my car tho

Only reason i havent completly set my mind to GT rear bumper and GT skirts is beause there not as low to the ground as my body kit so from the side my front bumper would be low but my sides and rear will higher didnt think it would look right when looking at it from the side! (give me yalls opinions please)

Yea the front goes ok with ur hood so that's no problem. I'd purchase a cobra rear bumper, and install that. After the cobra bumper is on I'd take pics and then see what side skirts go well with the bumpers.. But I do like the idea of putting the stock lx front bumper back on and the keeping the rear on and see how that looks

Its would look fine with GT side skirts. Numerous cars have splitters lower then the side skirts (00 Cobra R for instance) and it looks good imo. I have to agree with everybody that the rear bumper is just way to much.

I say loose the bumper and side skirts for GT or Cobra pieces and it would look pretty good.
