i dont like it either. if you are worried about how it will look after, go with a nice lip kit. you cant go wrong. they are way less maintenance than a body kit, and look better in my opinion.

Do what you like. You drive it so you see it everyday. As long as your happy what's the problem? I understand you asking for opinions but in the end yours is the only one that matters.

To be quite honest, I don't think that kit flows with the 7th gen body style too well. A nice lip kit will keep the flow but set it off and make it a bit more unique. And as others have said, it will be easier to install, look more "factory OEM", and will be easier to maintain and keep nice. But in the end, it's your car and your decision. I say go for whatever you truly like and want.

if you like it go for it, everyone will have an opinion.
IMO i like the HFP kit for our cars
and idk how they do the fogs with the kit, esp. when they say "cannot use fog lights" but its in the pic so w/e

That HFP lip kit is definitely the way to go, but i don't see that big of a difference between the stock 04/05 body and the lip kit. it's doesn't seem worth all that money. I like that body kit though (in the original post, the gray one), but i've never seen a body kit that looks as clean as stock/with lip kits. Personally I would never put on a body kit, and i would only get a lip kit if it were a quarter of the price... just my opinion...
