    If your that into a body kit, my advise is to sell your car for a Honda.

    Ya definitely don't go for a full body kit, a SD front air damn would look fine though.

    Not all aftermarket ones will shatter, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

    dude i have a kado body on mine from ebay it is pretty strong but i have broke it in a few places if you are going to get one do yourself a favor pay the little extra and get a duraflex one they are a flexable material like the stock bumper and will hold up much better then the fiberglass one i have

    material you are looking for is urethane. Carbonfiber would be cool though.
    anyways, you mentioned flare so instead of a body kit or the sd lip, try this,MPD, Inc.
    a lil expensive, and im not sure if they still make it or not.

    To each his own. I kinda like the start of my body kit. Got it from AEDCentral.com. Not sure of the prices now, but when I got it, they were the only ones out there. It was a nice chunk of change, but it is all hand laid fiberglass. AndysAutoSports also has some. It's your ride, do what you want. It doesn't matter what you do, it's not going to sit well with everyone. Atleast when I roll down the stree, I know Im not going to look like all the rest of the GP's out there. If you need any more info, let me know, and I'll help you out.

    Eric is amazing when it comes to kits and hoods! His work is supreme quality!

    Kind of expensive for some fender flares...., you could just roll em if you really wanted, but $1500 for flares seems pretty extreme

    so far ive seen 2 bodykits for these cars and both of them seem sketchy, does anyone know of bodykits with less of a race look and more of a european luxury look?? ive got a 4 door because i like bigger cars but id like new bumpers to kind of sophisticate it
