I wouldn't say it looks horrible. I wouldn't put it on my box but it's like something in me wants to like it but can't. As for install difficulty i can not say.

^ No, it's pretty bad... if it works for you, that's great, but it kinda looks like a giant tumor to me.

i've only seen maybe .... a handful (less than 5) people on here who've posted up pics of their box with the EVO style kit, so i personally haven't read anything relating to fitment/installation. probably hard to come by. if the style works for you, that's great. i personally agree that it's ridiculously ugly. good luck with your search.

well then as scion goes, What moves you... Ive personally fit one of these kits. As many different vendors make this kit, fitment from each company will be different. Fact is with fiberglass, kits from even the same company can dry fit very differently. Just be sure to have a good shop dry fit and work the fiberglass. Many collision type body shops loathe aftermarket body kits and will not put the effort into making them fit/look right. Finding the right shop is the key to making any bodykit right.

I had it also.. just the front though, didnt really like the rest of the kit, but to me it was very difficult to install, but i did it myself, took me about 2 1/2 hours to line it up with the car, and it still came out lookin like shi*...like the fitment that is.. and i had to make my own umm i dont know what their called but the hook things on the bottom of the bumper, connecting it to the undercarriage.. anyway yeah id say go for it.. i liked it.. ALOT of people (on here) said it was "fugly" and disgusting BUT it was what i wanted so i got it got lots of compliments and stares @ my box lol.. people actually liked it

and oh yeah, its fiberglass.. [of course] ..so there were lots of fixin up to it.. when i got my bumper, there were lots of pin sized holes, even bigger, that i had to re-fill up, but after like 2 months they started showing again :S which tells me that the shop did an effin horrible job @ fixin them...lol so make sure and try to find a good vender, that'll maybe sell a semi-perfect bumper (Who does, eh?)
