It works, but IMHO mixing body kits is a nono....some mixed combinations look good from like 10 feet away, on closer inspection they don't really complement each other....then again maybe I'm just too picky

I have a raven rear and sides and a drift front. I really like the drift front, but not the back. so i got the ravens rear and sides to go with that. But yeah some kits dont match. I like the whole raven kit, but I dont know. I need opinions also. lol I wish there were more kits, i have a oem front i bought with some damage i want to craft a prototype front on.

Note: I have reverted to OEM styling untill i get a raven front. Man i spent over 300 on the drift front and replacment OEM cause i damaged the orginal.

Yep. Some pieces will work with others, some won't. And some kits, even altogether, don't work.

Right now my car is all stock in body stlying but here are some old pics of the kits i have.

Now that I actually look at some of these old pics, they really dont compliment each other in style, lol. So hopefully I can find a place with a deal on a Flexfiber raven front. I spent like 300-400 on that FG drfit front from sportcompactonly,com.




But here is a paint scheme I want to use in the spring, regardless of that body kit i agree on and people also like.

See this is what I was hinting at...the side skirt doesn't really match up too well with the front/rear...the side skirt is more of a "line" style, while the bumpers are more "rounded" style...(NightShade not ripping on your car at all, just using the pics as a reference... )

no prob, i really dont like the set up too. Man i wish i made better choices. I wish I could make something off this, cause i just want a whole duraflex raven kit. The sides and rear are raven style but the front is not. i dont know why the sides dont align with the rear. I spent 1000 on parts seperately, but now i want the whole kit as duraflex. Cause I want more strength for everyday driving, which is 911.65$ at viniati.com. Does anyone know of where i can get a raven duraflex kit for less than what I got?
