Doesn't flow well with the lines of the car

looks WAY too low

and for the aero styling of the car
it looks like it is a 99-00 civici kit custom fitted to a newer civic

sorry

It is very interesting how different forums vary so much in attitudes. Great to hear feedbacks and thanks for sharing your views.

hm, looks better from the front than the back. I think there needs to be more fluidity to it, to match the car.

Personally, I like it. I also kind of have a feeling that others might like it, but won't admit it because it is no longer "cool" to like anything that isn't OEM. Who cares? I like what looks good, and that looks good IMO (it would look better molded). Flame away, but please use spell check.

Well for those of you asking why us manufacturers can't build cleaner kits? It is simple. We have to go after our market target. People who actually spend money to buy something they like. There are people who like things but would never actually go out to purchase. It would be nice to be liked by everyone if we could, but for us to survive we need sales to keep my prototyping department up and running.

The best example is the Toyota Camry which is the number #1 car in USA for 2005 and currently 2006 thus far. How many bodykits you see on a Camry? This is the case in point, when I talk with other manufacturers we even have this saying about the market. "People who drive Camrys don't fix up their cars." We don't try to grab the Camry people because it just won't happen. Now the new Civic sells close to 50,000 units a month. This is the first time the Civic outsold their money maker Accord. Where the extra people come from? These are mostly the Camry people. Honda missed their demographic target, because they were trying to grab back the younger 16-20 year olds from Scion. It turns out majority of the owners are now 25+. Hopefully the new Honda Fit will do that for them.

Thanks for the replies all of you.

heres an idea, why not see what people actually want and give it to them.

that would be better for sales.

would you rather have a product that you think will sell.

or

would you rather listen to the people and try and implement their ideas into what you make.

I have yet to see a clean lip kit, even the OEM one is too high. It takes up half the bumper.
