This was posted already this morning.
Actually, I already took my car over to Kaminari.
And they start work on it on Mon.

lets see...

A) 99% of they look stupid

B) 80% of them dont fit correctly

C) They just add weight while adding to the Cd of the car as well as ruining any areodynamics they factory may have incorperated into the design.

want more reasons?

um... okay then, let me change it to "a vast majority of them look like ***". now it incorperates your 80% + the other 19% of bad taste.

What is the problem with a sedan? Coups can not be that much better.

75% of people here act like children while the other 25% sit back and laugh. 69% of people know that.

An ex coupe weighs a whopping ~14lbs less than an ex sedan! I get tired of hearing people say it weighs less blah, blah, blah, it does weigh less but not enough to even be worth mentioning. I don't know about the rigidity.

A vast majority of statistics are pulled out a tight little hole located in a place people are always sitting on.

I like very few body kits. They for looks.

hmmm, who was it that said " i can get 4 people in and out of my car faster thatn you can" i heard it on one of the treads be4.

in any case, the reason i chose to be the guinea pig for the kit was because it was from kaminari. they are a respectable company, with a long line of good looking kits. and their quality is far above anyone elses. trust, if joe smo's body shop was making a kit, i would not even consider it.

as far as B16's opinion....that exactly what it is, an opinion. so everyone should not get their panties in a knot over some RETARD'S opinion.
And that's my $.2
