Question Black Widow vs. Octane

I'm looking for a body kit and i've come to like the black widow and maybe the octane. But which do you guys prefer?

Black widow

Not many people have the black widow, so if you wanna be original then go with that one.

Thanks guys, i really do appreciate it. I think i'm going to go with the black widow, gonna be original. A guy at a store around here quoted me at somewhere around $900-1000 for the octane urethane. I thought that was ridiculous. I can get the black widow kit for $689.95 + about $160 shipped directly to my house!

But again, thanks!

BW front looks a bit flimsy.. plus the vents on the side of the front are a bit large. But not may people have it

Octain is too common but looks a lot stronger and cleaner IMO

I'd go octain then get some cannards (spelling?) or maybe a difuser

also check out jtautostyle.com unique kits and very well made, but a bit pricey but you get what you pay for since They quoted me 950 for the whole evo 5 kit with fogs and the special exhaust kit for it includeing muffler and tail that exits out the middle.

IMO both are kinda ricey, I opted for the oem Aero kit (03) for my 01. I would say bw, those vents on the front of the octane are big enough to fit a yugo into.

I like the Octane better, but it could just be the quality of picture, the fact that I'm partial to the silver vic. Or the pretty angel eyes that are on it. Not to mention the lighting.
