most important thing for me considering a body kit is how well it's intergrated wit h the cars design. too many kits out there that completely obliterate a cars lines. if it's well executed and looks like something that could have rolled down the line at the factory, then it gets my vote.

I like your idea WOW, keep on (though I doubt the kit would make it to Germany because of TÜV)

I like the overall look, but I don't think I'd ever go with the fenders and all. I'd rather do things that are fairly easy to reverse. Simple lip kit makes a world of difference though.

I have to agree that 3" seems like too much of a drop on the skirts as well. Just looking at the chop the vehicle seems to be lowered several inches already, given the huge wheel gap of the stock vehicle which isn't represented here. So in my head it's working out to 5-6" lower than OEM. I spent years scraping, and I think I'm done with that.

I like it BUT...

1. If it's an entire front bumper I'd prefer something more aggressive than stock

2. If it's just a front lip it needs MOAR curves.

3. I think for designing a kit you should use stock wheels.

Other than that its pretty fresh. My opinion is way different than the rest if this forum's in my opinion (i know its repetitive but IDGAF) so don't take this as a common viewpoint but just my .02. When I get a car I probably won't buy a kit, I'd try and build one. MOAR UNIQUE.

Hey WingsofWar - I am definitely interested in your design. Are you only designing the kit or you are also manufacturing the kit yourself?

This will be my first full design i wish actually make some profit from even if the vendor who will manufacture and supply the aero is still pending.

While i wait for my design team to get together, i figured id make a thread just to get some consensus from the forum (you consumers) and for those who are looking into buying some aero for their BRZ or FRS.

**For those commenting** Please be constructive and express your thoughts and feelings and concerns clearly. I may or may not answer your posts. All posts are being read and considered by my design team and myself.

Lets start off with Sample 1,

This kit is going for a traditional look, focusing on more OEM type qualities. Putting more aggression and simplicity to work rather than flamboyant flaps/wings/and vents.

-The Front bumper shape is virtually unchanged from the factory bumper. However i have tightened up the front air damn for more popular style found in the current impreza/GTR/Evo. Iv have also added a 3inch carbon lip that can attach to this modified or stock bumper.

-Sidesteps have a simple 3in drop with a carbon rear splitter.

-Quarterpannel and Fenders have been oversized 10mm and 20mm to fit larger 5x100 with lower offset wheels.

The entire kit gives the illusion of having a lower car while keeping near stock ride height. Which was inspired by RWB built Porsche 911.

This car features a Titanium Silver, Hyperblack Advans, ProjectMu big Brake Kit, and a carbon mirror.

thanks for the interest, i am only designing. I don't have the facility or the time to manufacture even if i wanted to.

I really hope my designs are nice enough for a company to be interested in manufacturing. Even If you guys arn't going to buy my designs, please pray for me that i can sell it.

I like to support friends/forum members businesses and I've been totally impressed with all of your hard effort in everything else you've done around here. If your bodykit designs continue that trend then I would absolutely consider purchasing one of your WoW kits.
