What do you guys think? I am seriously considering it. Although I will need bigger/wider wheels to complete it. Take out that wing btw, I don't want that.

If you got the dough than I say do it. Why not? It looks pretty good, plus you'll have a pretty unique car. I haven't seen any cars online (from actual customers) or on the road with this body kit.

You got a point there. Low & slow is better than stock & slow.

I think its alright, and if you want to do it go for it.
This looks fairly OEM so its alright.
But the day and age of the bodykit is pretty much over except for the honda people who think that a fart can and body kit makes their car fast.
So neither yay or nay for me.
For me, its, meh, do whatever the f*** you want its your car :P

That's dnm, you'll filter some of his rants eventually.
You have an awesome filter? That sounds unfortunate.

Very clean, I like it. Make sure you're picky with the rims and find the right set to complete it.
