idk, i kinda like it but at the same time i hate it haha. the front kills me, but the rear would be better as a1 piece and the sides look great, but the spoiler goes back to far on the trunk for my liking, as eveyone would say molded ftw

yeah if it would come all the way across and then not come up so darn far on the front bumper on the sides it might be better.

You have to keep in mind it is the way it is for 2 reasons:
1) Shipping the kit
2) Manufacturing limitaitons

well it should be changed for 2 reasons:

1) everybody has already made the exact same comment bout the front
2) your not gonna sell many unless you make something that everybody likes and compliments.

I mean yeah sure u'll sell some to the tards that RICE their cars out and don't know what an IMPORT should look like and only know to flare their car out with Fast and Furious type crap. But ur not gonna sell any to the real car enthusiast that are going for a clean but aggresive look like the RS1 lip kit or the Five Axis lip kit. Even the NIA lip kit looks and flows better than this one.

Props on the spoiler tho.

Thanks for the input!
Those that have a firm grasp on manufacturing processes (and tooling cost) will know that it can't be "changed" at this point. It is, what it is, so belaboring over "changing" it is a moot point.

Some will like it, some won't, it's subjective.

yeah that would make it an even better idea to make a prototype and get an idea of the feedback before just completely making the kit and hoping for the best. Just my opinion.

This is true, but was not an option for this particular kit.

If you take a look at our website, we make a few very high end kits (injection molded urethane) but it's cost prohibitive for the smaller cars, and hard to justify for those enthusiasts.

Our 300c/Charger full urethane kits go for $1895 and $1995 respectively. We were trying to offer the sport compact community an affordable option (8th gen civic, Scion tC, and Mazda 3 hatchback).

This is the advertisement that will be in the March issue of Performance Auto and Sound...


Anyway, let's try to keep it on track. Thanks guys!!!!!!
