There will be better less ugly wide body kits to come in the next year or two. While I would love the fenders to be juuuuuust a little wider, I'll happily wait until someone does it right. (Cough.. Cough... Griffon... Ahem)
While the rocket bunny kit is at home on a drift car. It looks out of place on anything but the track. But, I doubt the track was REALLY in mind when it was designed.

People can always do whatever they want with their car. I applaud customization. Most are not done how I would do them, and that's great. If everybody did the same mods in the same way your car wouldn't be YOUR car. Make the car yours. If you like the Rocketbunny kit, do it.
But, if you're asking what others would do, that's different. There will be (hopefully soon) a great wide body kit available. Rocket bunny isn't it.

No offence intended for anyone with the RB kit. If you like it, that's what it's all about.
Or is it the hokey pokey? I always get those two confused.

I always thought the purpose of these kits were to get them in spec for some kind of track rules? (wide tires inside fenders)

This kit doesn't make any sense to me... What is the purpose of the giant wing/huge fenders?

Dont get me wrong, loved the look of the kit and its aesthetically pleasing as a show car.

The purpose of the huge fenders and wide tires is for men's natural desire for big booty.

1. Looks like ricer boy
2. expensive
3. decrease resale value of car
4. you have provocative looking car - people will taunt you to race and then smoke you and then laugh at you because your car looks mean but can't outpace theirs
5. adds unnecessary weight
6. cop bait
7. your friend will say nice but otherwise behind your back
8. fast and furious was in back in 2001
9. once you've done it - there's no simple going back. It's not changing tail lights.
10. it doesn't look like car for mountain road maneuvering anymore
11. people will think you have small wiener.

Definitely don't do it. If you want to alter the exterior look of the car, there are other methods that are cheaper and not permanent.

Well, you did start a public poll on whether or not to put a Rocketbunny kit on your car.. So on some level you seem to really care what other people think about you and the car....

Mate I'm just answering this for you, not for me. I posted that so that you know the reality of it and since you posted this question on forum, I thought you wanted to know real answers from different people?
Or did you just want answers validating and justifying your rocket bunny choice?

I hate to be mean but I hope your car runs away from you before you defile it

you get rocketbunny kit unless your FRS drives as fast as as a rocketbunny. Otherwise, your car is just plain stupid. sorry. I'd say it looks more like a turtle.
