Question Body kit without spoiler??

What do you guys think? I am thinking about getting the underbody kit but I don't want the spoiler, do you think that would look OK? Has anyone done this??

Thumbs up

Closer had done this to his car originally.... then he ended up putting the spoiler on. Personally, I like the car w/o a spoiler, and Closer's car with the kit and w/o the spoiler was SWEET looking!!

I've actually got it on my car. I love the look, didn't want the spoiler b/c I think the car has a more european look to it with just the underbody & no spoiler. Didn't want a european car, just a more european look. I like it. I'd post pics but my digicam is shot and I don't feel like spending $$ on a new one.
Personally I think it looks more classier w/o the spoiler. (not that having a spoiler means no class)

Thanks for the response, guys!!! That does look pretty good, Freakyshiat. I think that will be my next "mod" eventhough I said I wouldn't put anything on the car unless it is a performance mod. Oh well, more $$ to Tim!!

From the side it looks allright, but from the back, it doesn't work for me. So, I ordered the Wing's West lip spoiler. Not a perfect look but better then nothing to help with the downward trunk lid!
It's just my opinion remember, too each his own.

I always thought the body kit should include the spoiler, too. Freaky's picture has changed my mind. Looks good without.

I agree, the trunk definately has too much droop to it.. the small lip on the trunk helps some, but it needs something more..
The WW spoiler is cool, adds a nice touch..

But as for the body kit w/o the spoiler, it looks good. I'm gettin the kit before the spoiler so I'll be sportin it like that and then decide which spoiler I want.. right now leaning towards the OEM one..

freakyshiat - What's window tint on your ride?

Hey freakyshiat!

Like the way your car looks. Would you mind telling what window tint you have on yours? I am planning to get mine done.

Thanks!
Capri

Re: freakyshiat - What's window tint on your ride?

Thanks Freakyshiat!

I have couple more questions (I know this has be hashed and asked many times). Since you also have the NAV, did the metallic tint degrade the the NAV's signal as well as the radio reception itself? Who's the manufacturer of the tint - 3M, Llumar, Solar Guard, Formula One, etc....?

Anyone in the greater metro Atlanta, I am looking for window tinter/s recommendation especially 3M window tints if possible.

Appreciate your answer...

Thanks again.
