Kitted Body or Stock

[Jono FD3]

I would say it all depends on the kit... if you go for some lairy hard lined kit, then it\'s a no in my opinion, but if it\'s a subtle kit that adds to the look of the car with out the need of a BGW, then I would say that is the way to go!

I\'d say it\'s a testament to the strength of the FD\'s original design that it can take even quite wild kits and still look good. I don\'t like anything that totally chnages the look of the car (Vileside being a case in point) but I think even mixing elements of different kits often looks good, which again points to how good a shape the stock body is. I also think the stock look is perfectly goos totally unfussed with, can I have a poll choice for "both" please?

i\'ve tried to keep mine standard looking but with wide arches to add a bit of width prob about 50mm on wither side rear and about 20-30mm on the front, i think it is still in keeping with the original look of the car.
 
Will get some pics up when photobucket has finished loading.

I like em both but i have gone down the kitted route. The problem i hate when i see massive skirts is they never fit right, this is why i`ve moulded it in with the front bumper/rear quarter. Now it looks like it came out the factory with it.

Funny thread...

lol there are 25 \'stockers\'(to date), I personally have never seen as many as 25 standard FD\'s.. lol

I bet all those that \'ticked stock\' has an aftermarket piece on their car....
And I also bet they won\'t remove them and put the Car to totally standard either!

The thread is stock body or kitted,
 
I have aftermarket parts on my car, wheels/suspension/engine parts but would still call it stock bodied.
 
I think op means original body or added body kit parts, ie wings/bumpers/bgw etc

OEM+ for me. Almost stock with subtle aero mods that compliment the lines of the car.

i like both OEM with touch of carbon and full kits but i havent yet seen a set of overfender that look right... At the end of the day you can get wheels with 0+ offset under stock arches thats enough lol

ooooooooo, I like that blue rx!  Here\'s a question, has anyone tried fitting skirts off something else that would fit on a rx?  Only asking, as Im looking something sutble that sits below the door shut and along the sills, and not something that goes up onto the quarter panels, like any kits I can find. That blue one seems to have ones that bolt along the sills and look perfect for matching the original mazda front splitter.
