New body kit idea

Hey, everyone. I would like to see what you all think of this body kit idea that I came up with. Let me say sorry, though, before I post it, because it isn't color-matched. I'm not that good with photoshop yet. Sorry, lol. Anyway, here they are:





As you can see, the front bumper has carbon fiber splitters on either side, and an air intake hole for a custom ram-air/cold-air intake system. Also, the rear bumper has a carbon fiber surround for the exhaust area.

Also, in case you're wondering why the license plate on the front view is backwards, it's because I flipped the front bumper over because our intake is not on the Left side of the car, it's on the Right.

And then, obviously, the kit would also include both front and rear fenders with fender flares already on them, and molded side skirts to complete it. So, here's the side view:



Also, of course, to top off the whole deal you could add an exhaust kit. Something similar to this would work perfectly, except obviously it would only have a single input pipe, but would still retain the quad exhaust tips:

Here's a pic that I just made of the rear view that includes the CSL-style ducktail spoiler on the trunk:



Also, if you'd like to see pics of what a real M3 CSL looks like, for comparison or otherwise, you can click here.

It looks pretty possible to me... Bomex has almost the same amount of gap between the grill and the opening in the front bumper as the M3 style.

This is totally awesome. I love the overall response this kit is getting. Now, if I could just find a company that would produce it... lol.

Dont be so quick as to say no. I could get some people over here in Australia to make it. Only problem is, we dont have the coupe over here. Is there a way you could chop a sedan??

How much interest are we talking here??
How many people would buy it??
Keeping in mind shipping, but still, your dollar is alot better then ours,
would still work out cheaper for you.

The initial interest here seems pretty strong, seeing as how I only posted this earlier today, lol. But, interest in the idea and interest in actually purchasing a body kit of this sort are definitely two very different things. I'd probably have to start a new post to gauge interest if people would be willing to purchase a body kit of this sorty, or maybe change the title of this post to something else... *shrug* Also, I don't know how it'd be possible for you to make a body kit for the Coupe if you don't have it over there, lol. Now I know why my friend down under wants my Coupe so bad, lol.

Anyone have any bright ideas? Of course, if there isn't enough interest to have the kit mass-produced I wouldn't really care either way; because I'd still find someone to make a one-off of it for me at some point in time, lol.

It really amazed me when I first did the chop(s) how well the M3/CSL/3-Series' body lines flowed so well with the body lines of the Civic. But, then again, if you compare the two, side-by-side, they do have very similar body lines. Now if only there were some way to make the Civic rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive, lol.

I really like the sides. The front looks kinda like the M3 bumper.

Bump!

Anyone have any ideas and/or tweaks for the body kit? Or anyone out there that's good with photoshop that would be willing to take this on, and try to color-match the kit to a Silver 'Vic so we can all get a better idea of how this would look? lol

I'd really like some more input from everyone on this kit idea. I'd LOVE to get it produced. Do you all think there would be a strong enough interest in purchasing it?

Way off topic, but evopanop, what body kit do you have? I see Kaminari sides, but I can't tell the others.

I like it .

I like how the kit flows with the car.. I think when/if it's all one colour, it'd look bootyful! Get someone in the photochop section to modify the colour and make everything black!
