body kit design

Ok some of you know I'm planning on making a kit for our car well here a rough copy Photoshop of the kit. Their 2 rear ends let me know which one looks better. All comments are welcome. The kit as of right now will be consisted of front, sides, rear, door caps, spoiler and rear roof spoiler. I will post up a better copy in about 1 week. I'm still working on the side so no good pics yet.

Very all around, if you ask me. Also, I'm not a fan of any skirt that flares out at the bottom like this /___\ . Example: profile-wise, the front of your car will look like /__ with the lip as opposed to the OEM look, which would generate a profile more like |__ ....straight down instead of flaring out. The whole kit just looks like someone threw it on instead of using a kit that actually compliments the car's style and lines. Just not my thing. Maybe others'll like it though. Keep workin' at it and have fun. Good luck.

i like what street spirit was pointing out. that bodykit is a little too wild for my taste and for a luxury vehicle's taste. its a nice design, but maybe alittle more subtle or at least more gentle? that kit would look better on an accord or maxima

well, if anything, i like the second rear bumper better. I actually kind of like where you are taking this..which is much better than what you had before, in my opinion. It'd be cool if the flares weren't so drastic, along with the lower lip part of the front bumper. As for the side skirts, I dont like how it comes outward, as street spirit mentioned. I like the straight down look such as the Value Sports side skirts.

i like the 2nd pic more as well, 1st one is too plain. Overall i like the rear and sides in the 2nd pic, they look really good, but front jus looks a little fat and plain, like a snowplow. fender flares not my thing either.

You know what... I like them.
I like how it looks. The front, the fenders (needs to be smaller), the sides of the 1st pic, and the rear of 2nd pic.
Perhaps the fenders needs to be alittle smaller and smoother (it kinda looks like a tank right now since it so far out) Perhaps someone should do alittle modifying on the photoshop and illustrate what I'm talking about.
But over all I give it a thumb up.

First of everything, thumbs up for the effort and time you put on this thing.

Love the both spoiler. I like the rear bumper at the 2nd pic more, and the side on the 1st one. The front get a really agressive look, but yeah maybe too wild. It will be cool if it can stick out front a little bit less. Still love the flares, aslo the way it goes all the way down. People say it looks too wide, but dude, i saw them IN PERSON before. They are just fine.

Count me in if you actually have the kit come out. But you need to give me a better price coz dont have a job right now.

Absolutely...it took alot of time and effort.

I like the updated front end above my post here. I'm not feeling the flared wheel wells or the side skirts at all but the second ass-end looks best IMHO.

If you created a kit that resembled the value or blaze with a slight, subtle twist you would have a winner and once you perfected the mold, you could sell them like hotcakes

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK "MANG" (in honor of Red-CL...RIP)

Maybe it's just me but i like the first rear bumper choice. Leave it to a woman to like a more aggressive look i guess? I've actually been praying that someone with the talent and know how would come out with a few new choices on body kits for a 99. I've been begging my husband to get a body kit for his crx but so far he hasn't. He's more into engine mods and speed i guess, lol.
