They're cheap.
Most likely, tying to back out of the loan rather than get private party value. Willing to take a hit because the owner can no longer make the payments.

I previously owned an integra that I modified. I didn't know if I wanted to go down that route again with my FR-S. After a lot of research and weighing out the pros and cons, I decided to just keep it stock. I didn't go to school to be a mechanic or anything related to building cars, so how could I possibly make the car better than what the professionals already delivered?

Here's a good article from Richard Hammond that swayed my decisions.

I will be going the same route. All I will do is paint the wheels black with plasti dip and enjoy that for as long as I like it. Peel it off in a couple years when I want to go 100% stock again.
A car like this will be more rare stock... IMO.

Its a beautiful JDM touch to an Italian body. The whole concept behind TRA_Kyoto is making a statement, building cars that shock. You either hate it or you love it and regardless they don't care. That's what I love about it. Its beautiful, its unique, its something no one else has ever done.

I would agree to an extent. It looks good on certain cars, it adds agression. Personally if I were to get a Rocket Bunny kit (which I would love to if I could afford it) i would mold the fenders to the body.

I saw it at the L.A. Auto Show. Didnt know it was there, was walking around downstairs with my girlfriend and nearly had a heart attack and definitely cried it was so beautiful (even she almost cried at the beauty).
