a clean look is better than a showy body kit that is begging to take your attention from the rest of the car, most body kits just don't blend with the car and stick out from the rest of the car. End of story.

It's not terrible, but it still doesn't flow very well with the car. Yes, I'm aware it's a m4d-jdm tyte, y0! Buddy Club style body kit, but that doesn't mean it's automatically going to flow with the body. If you absolutely, positively, need a body kit, get a Buddy Club 2 (style) kit:




Or if you're baller, you can get a true Mugen lip kit and rear spoiler:



And if you're a straight-up pimp, you could get the Mugen rear spats. Super-rare; they haven't been sold in years. Look at the bottom corner of the bumper (near the wheel well):


Spoon front lip + stock skirts + Mugen rear spats + Mugen spoiler + tucking tire = pure sex

Check out my new post in the "introduction" section...I found a picture of almost exactly what I'm going for on the car's look.

whatever makes you feel happy about the look of your car is what's important.
