The Versus body kit, look at Accuratein's thread and you'll see how hot his car looks.

That Versus kit looks kinda ricey to me, but to each his own. I'd go with the A-Spec.

I agree. Lower your car first because your car will look better with the new wheels and the drop. But getting back on topic, go with the A-Spec kit. I absolutely love the A-Spec kit and I think it is way better than the Ron Jon kit

a-spec front and sides, ron jon rear
i like how the a-spec gives off a "sharp" look to the car; the ronjon kit is very rounded in the front; however, the rear looks pretty sharp because of the grooves and contours on the side of the rear bumper.

front and sides a-spec
rear ronjon !

bforbrian, can you purchase just the Ronjon rear. I am very surprised to read how many of you guys prefer the a-spec. I will be looking at some posted cars with the ronjon kit. I was very close to buying the ronjon kit but I will think about it for a couple of days. I guess march 6 is the cut off day for the a-spec group buy. Thanks again guys.

either full ASPEC or go with a ron jon front and side and rear a-spec. The ron jon rear is a bit overdone in sharpness for my taste, which assuming by yours on the ricey look of the versus kit.

Both kits look great, but I prefer the RonJon for the one-piece look. Also, RonJon's body kit is more rare to see than the A-Spec.

I bring up this picture every time this question comes up.





It's such a great photo though.

RJ kit is 1.5" lower than the A-spec and actually has the front, sides and rear all at the same exact height. So mixing parts might look a little weird upon close inspection. I think these photos will really show how amazing and cleanly designed our kit is compared to the A-Spec and it's add on look:

Ron Jon all the way, some people complain about his curves but to tell you the truth I dont like the look of the OEM lip kit since it is obvious something is tagged on to the original body.

With the RJ kit its a one piece for a clean look, also the curves make the bodykit look aggressive but not too aggressive for an modded OEM look, where people who dont know the car would have no clue what's so different about the car but they just know something is different cuz it looks so unique.


Quick Reply: If money is no issue, Ronjon or A-spec body kit?
