If that's the taste you want.
You can do whatever with your car, it's out of my concern.

Opinion is a bitch. It's your car, just do whatever you want with it to make you feel happy.

I think this Vertex rendering is cool. Would I do it? Maybe if I am building a show car.

Yeah, I don't like it too low. The drive up to my apartment has a pretty bad incline off the street. It sucks.

Where I live and you had that kit low like that you basically lost the ability of having fun driving this car. You would be paranoid where ever you go.

I don't really like it, they just added faux vents everywhere... definitely loses the emphasized function/form of the car.

I'd like to see Amuse's kit...

It makes sense for the vents to be there, they would compensate for the increased drag caused by the wider fenders. They would also increase down force and improve cooling. I wouldn't get this kit though, since I don't know how functional it is. All I know is that it would increase grip by allowing you to install wider tires.

I would rather wait for a Voltex kit or a Amuse kit, because they put a lot of R and D into their aero products, and they tend to be highly functional.

There was about a 2 month period where I experimented with high tire pressures combined with hard acceleration which would alloy me to spin the tires a little. It was fun to spin the tires from stop signs and get ''loose'' in a wet, empty, and somewhat secluded parking lot. It is important to know the handling characteristics of your car and, well, yeah I probably looked dumb but it was fun and Ive never done that kind of thing before, so sue me. At least I don't drive a raised truck.

That's very true...but you don't do that but maxing out tire pressure on wet pavement and deliberately try and spin your tires as much as you can.

Makes.no.sense.
