Been looking into different kits recently and I still can\'t find one that suit the curves of the FD.

Whats peoples opinions, stock or kitted bodys??

I like the look of a stock body with maybe some flare on the rear arches.

Stock body all the way dropped a little with some nice 17\'s on a tasty offset!
 
My opinion is some kits do look nice but most require a big GT wing to set them off and GT wings on street cars just look like overkill to me and are just for show, unless they are for track cars where they serve a purpose.

The Burnout kit helps to keep the original lines of the car with adding that little extra

I think the feed fenders do justice...

Personally I think there\'s only two ways to do an FD.

Either stock bodied and low.

Or all out, kitted and wide arched, diffusered and BGW\'d. Kit\'s on their own just don\'t do it IMO.

other than the full burnout kit ofcourse

That\'s a vit of a generic question tbh - If you said that stock body was totally stock, with just a set of hidden in the arches wheels, then yeha, it\'s a beautiful car, but you could do better. If you dropped it into the weeds and fitted man fitment wheels, then that gets me every time.
Kit wise - a black, burnout FD would have me coming over all unneccessary, but a fish faced, pointy lined, Vileside abortion would have me sicking in my boots.

Personally I really dislike most of the WB kits as they ruin the lines of the car - unless it\'s a full on, hardcore, liveried up race car, it\'s a very tricky think to pull off imho.

One of my all time favourite FD\'s is still the PF supercars car.
Colean, fresh, simple, and just plain beautiful. Proves that all they need is subtle body mods, decent fitment wheels, and a drop.




This car makes me go weak at the knees. Amazing

SiH knows! And apart from the wheels, I love that car!

I like the stock look but had to fit the feed style side skirts like above then lowered the front a bit.

I think that blue one looks perfect, the stance is what I\'m going for on mine.  I would stay close to stock, some FEED style sideskirts lowered some good wheels and nice front lip and a type RZ wing.

there should be a few options in the poll

stock
stock but arches rolled
stock with a few subtle mods
body kit
wide body kit

etc

i personally like the stock shape with a few subtle mods and maybe some wider arches. i dont generally go for body kits but if i was the two i would choose are the feed kit and the burnout kit. the feed one defo if its gonna be tracked.

exactly how I\'m trying to make mine look, its even got the SSR\'s ive been looking for! Any Idea if its sitting on 17\'s or 18\'s?

18, can\'t remember the specs, will dig them out. Looking at the fitment I\'d hazard a guess at 9\'s with an offset in the low single figures, or more likely ten\'s in the higher singles.
But they\'re Meisters, not Prof SP1\'s :)

dthebuk

ah I always get confused, thought they were the same. Is one type alot cheaper? Remember looking into them and being blown away by the price.

Got some slightly dishy gulf\'s for mine, quite temped to go staggered 18/17. tis the way to go imo

Neither SSR\'s or the Works are cheap tbh. On the SP1\'s, the spokes go all the way to the edge of the dish, so the spokes slook slightly thinner as a result. They also have recessed rim bolts.
Tehre are loads of other differences, but those are the simplest ways to tell tehm apart :)
As a result, Prof\'s tend to look larger :)
