Default body kit looks... looking for opinions?

i like this style rear bumper






but in the kit it comes with this front which im only like 70% on





i like this front but was wondering how you guys thought it looked with that rear i posted.




just looking for others opinions or if you know a combo that goes along with those lines that might work better dont be afraid to post. im looking to keep the smooth rounded look but not bubbly looking.

NONE, rice kits are 10 years ago... get a 2000 front end and some foglights, with a ctr or si lip kip all around and leave it be, rice is food... not car

Honestly, do what you want. But 99.999% percent of people are gonna tell you body kits are for people who wanna "live a 1/4 mile at a time" quote fast and the furious.

Everybody these days just throws a Si/Ctr/type r blah blah common lip on there cars and calls it uber JDM. Do something tasteful if you wanna be different, and not over done, if your gonna do anything at all.

a BYS/Airwalker front bumper would probly do it

Couldn't agree more.. do your own thing but tastefully.. there are way to many people that just follow the "norm" with these lips

The rear is alright. There isn't much of a selection out there. First front bumper looks god awful, the second one looks good.

What sides do you have, or are you planning on getting?
