I think their 98+ type II front and the Type III sides and rear would look good, with slight modification.. :

Not bad!

What I would consider is having a GFX kit with FUNCTIONAL brake cooling ducts for the front & rear. I want something designed that makes sense, know what I mean? I do like the fact that it's WAY different, I'll give 'em kudos for that. It's a bit too radical for me in the front, those side skirts don't look like they have any brake cooling properties at all. the rear is sort of okay.

Does anybody know why the hood is black on the red car? Not painted, on purpose, or is it supposed to be a carbon fiber hood? Also I don't like it. Just my opinion.

yeh - everyone screams "rice, a$$ ugly" and in a month time all of the sudden "where do I get one of this". Same thing that happened to Stella kit.
Anyhow - it's very nice to see somebody coming up with the new stuff for our cars

For the younger crowd... Transformers...

http://www.transformers.com/
Man, I clicked that link hoping to hear the "TRANSFORMERS - RO-BOTS IN DI-SQUISE. I was all about some Transformers, even my older brother liked them. And that was a good analogy for those kits.

Only one thing comes to mind when I see those - Honda Civic's with built in squirrels nests in the front and sides. Or, in other words - it reminds me of those really aggessive performance dehancing kits you see on Imports.

But, it is something different - and since it is in Japan, that's cool, they are the ones making the other crap too. (i.e. Honda's, Mitsubishi's, and the kit's for them).

It isn't SUPPOSED to be carbon fiber. It IS carbon fiber.

(The rear wing is also carbon fiber.)

The ground effects are just to much but like it was said it's good to see something new out there.

Also, Transformers were some of the best toys ever made, they're up there with StarCom.

Thumbs down bodykit

That is one of the most disgusting kits I think I have ever seen. I think that the Japanese boys need to stick to civics and leave the camaros the hell alone.
