Default Body Kits

Which body kit do you guys like more, the Wingswest RS Racing series or the OEM kit. I don't want my 5th gen to look like a rice burner or anything, I want it to be "classy" if that makes sense.

Thanks

Mugen - and not the cheap VIS knock-off.

IMHO, class goes out the window when you touch the body. All go, no show baby.

**** it, shave everything, get a bigmouth front end with S200 headlights, and graft in some GSR taillights. Then you'll be set.

I've seen pics of a GS-R w/ G5 'lude tail lights - it looked really nice.

OEM kit, the lines are clean not too much "flash" just clean.

The Mugen kit also has clean lines, not to crazy about the rear but never the less it's a nice kit.

I just picked up my OEM sides and rear, and I'm considering buying a Mugen front not sure yet???

Huh? er... no. Smalled holes can be filled with body filler. (the very small ones, such as from emblems and antenna's) Larger holes from pesky parts like, oh, door handles, gas door, etc, are filled by taking a peice of sheet metal and placing it in the hole and welding it in place. You then grind off the excess weld, and use some filler to help smooth out what's left.

(NOTE: Use bondo AS SPARINGLY as possible. I hate that ****, but it works great in SMALL AMOUNTS.)

There are a lot of decent body kits out there. The OEM & Mugen are 2 of the best IMDHO.
Do what you want & get what you like. . . . it's your car.

I think OEM looks the best. I don't know about you, but I think WW RS kit looks weird (esp with the rear). Actually, I know ppl get RS front and use OEM side & rear. Also, I kinda like WW Avenger kit. It looks hella nice. But I never seen one on the street before. As for spoiler, I luv the WW commando spoiler. It's really aggressive!!!
