Making a body kit

I know we've all seen this kit. I don't like it, but I thought this was pretty cool. It shows how it was developed.

Yea that actually was pretty cool to see. I liked the body kit, with the exception of the spoiler. Thanks for the link.

I do like the drop and wheel size. Maybe I'm retarded, but it was hard to tell in all of the other pics if it was the actual car, a photoshop, or a drawing.

they love that stuff...i have no idea why. but then again have you seen some of the clothes they wear over there? kind of on the flashy side. guess its just part of their culture. the kit is nice, very aggressive but nice. anyone have any idea how much it costs?

because a lot of japanese tuners actually race their cars? maybe they were trying to bring the race styling to the street, as in a lot of their designs and cars? mistubishi lancer evo; their wing is not exactly appealing, but it does have function. so you really can't generalize the Japanese like that.

It is the wald kit. The pics don't show the front fenders of the kit. If memory serves me, they were odd looking.
