Thumbs up Finally a C Coupe I like

I've never been a fan of the C coupe's high butt/small rear wheel well look, but after seeing this wide-body kit, there may be some hope yet. It looks quite nice! Check it out:

That's funny, you like the c coupe most c coupe owners don't.

I think the back of it is ok. Not into the front.

I love how it has four exhaust tips and it's a four cylinder. Almost thought it was a Hon-duh for a sec.

I want the Renntech rear spoiler wing. Kineda has it on his coupe and I have to have it. Too bad it is expensive, but so what?

The quality and fit happens to be very very well for a widebody kit. I like it. All widebody kits are very drastic, and this one seems fine.

I like it too. but the other black renntech coupe is nice as well.

BUT OF COURSE I ACTUALLY LIKE THE COUPE TO START OUT WITH. its been out for what over two almost three years and still very unique here in Houston.
