very nice, but too rich for my blood

ChrisOkc8 08-31-2012 03:49 AM

Uglier than the regular five axis.

wrxgoose 08-31-2012 04:03 AM

i'm diggin that white and grey.

FRSfan111 08-31-2012 04:28 AM

The white one should be black and have fujiwaras tofu shop decals on the sides!

jstans84 08-31-2012 06:05 AM

I'm sorry but all of the five axis kits are hideous. If they sat even remotly flush with the rest of the body they would look alright but they don't. The sheer overhang on the first picture looks like a bodykit you would only find on e-bay. Sorry if you like it but that's just my two cents on the matter.

Wolfking 08-31-2012 06:18 AM

Looks like my old R31! I believe twotone should be reserved for other cars.
(something is a little off)

chate 09-03-2012 12:04 PM

33k wowza! I wonder what accessories are included...cuz i agree too rich for me too

_F-R-S_ 09-03-2012 12:17 PM

Five axis must of been drunk again..

jeebus 09-03-2012 12:20 PM

the only 5AD piece I like is the trunk spoiler.

bakerr6 09-03-2012 12:41 PM

Wheels are nice

tripjammer 09-03-2012 01:30 PM

This one seems like it does not have the lowering springs...

Yeah, that's too expensive. Even for me who is a huge AE86 fan.

subatoy 09-03-2012 01:43 PM

This should've been Vinyl not painted just in case you regret the rice after a while. I love the look just not for me.

blur 09-03-2012 02:10 PM

Finally we get the panda scheme! I cant wait to see one of these on the street, complete with tofu decals lol

TylerLieberman 09-03-2012 02:19 PM

So for $8,000 I get ugly, oversized wheels, a horrible looking aerokit, a decent looking spoiler, some lowering springs, some Five:AD badges that I wouldn't want plastered all over my car anyways, and some grey paint....

I dig the paint scheme but for 8,000.... let's be real.

Rant complete....

So the car in your sig obviously has the ideal wheel size, right?

Lol those SSRs were just 18s. 19s on this car just looks awful. Of course this is my opinion, but I know most will agree and have already stated the same. 17s look great on this car as do 18s.. but that's the biggest I would go.

Furthermore, how is this supposed to be a "retro" design when it has giant ass wheels on it. If it's supposed to have a retro theme, it should be carried throughout the car. The 19s look so out of place. Some 17", black, watanabe style wheels would look so damn sick on this.

Lonewolf 09-03-2012 02:58 PM

That two-tone setup doesn't work on these cars...:barf:

clayrush 09-03-2012 03:05 PM

I like how all the advertising pictures of the body kit have fog lights but you never see in FRS with fog lights. I dig the red on black and like the rims. But perhaps 18's instead of 19's

Stevieray 09-03-2012 03:07 PM

Ugly.

Yeah esp on a car that only puts out 200hp. 18's at the most. The more I see this kit, the more I'm starting to think it's "ok".

Was it up with this generation trying to bring back the ol skool stuff and try and mix it with the current stuff. :thumbdown:

clayrush 09-03-2012 03:13 PM

The whole point of a body kit is to a bit over the top in my opinion. Because what is the point of spending a bunch of money To look just slightly diffrent from stock. Unless you have a kit that somehow has better aerodynamics. as far as I'm concerned most Body kids are dead way anyhow :p

you mean like all the American companies going the retro look. :) it's like them saying Hey remember when Americaian cars was good? Lol J/K
I think it is good to look retro. Too many cars were/are to similarly styled. most cars look like a mix between Asian, European and American influences anymore.

Yeah and everything in general. The old Mopar cars, the old Camaro, the old fastback Ford Pootang :D, the 80's/90's movie remakes that are completely off, the way these young bucks are dress, rat tails, throwback sports gear, ol Jordans etc.

It's like this generation doesn't have much of an identity compared to those who grew up in the 80's/90's.

cassidy0998 09-03-2012 04:37 PM

well it was just a matter of time before someone did it. Not sure if I like it or not...

xclusive_brett 09-03-2012 04:43 PM

you should see how crooked the spoiler is on this car. idk why dealers have such a hard time installing this kit.

Asterisked Accolade 09-03-2012 05:36 PM

I'm surprised by the thickness of negativity in this thread. The body kit looks fine to me, although the color-scheme looks a little too weird to me (with the exception of the white/grey). Personally, i'd say it just isn't my thing-- but i'm not really understanding the palpable repulsiveness by some other members.

dsp4 09-03-2012 05:39 PM

Wheels are best I've seen on this car. Much better than the stock ones. I agree with everyone though, 19's too big. They should look fine in 17 since there's no lip.

Turbowned 09-03-2012 05:40 PM

Throw these wheels on and then we can talk:

Palmy 09-03-2012 09:18 PM

I wasn't a fan of the kit, wheels or paint scheme separately, but when they're all together like that I think it looks great!

Lonewolf 09-03-2012 09:23 PM

When something looks like crap, it looks like crap, if more people were honest, the world would be a better place. Before the "looks are subjective" cheerleaders chime in...I don't care :burnrubber:

Splat 09-03-2012 10:19 PM

my opinion is they look nice.
