Have to agree, overdone imo... Given, it's the nicest body kit i've seen yet for it but that's not saying much. I guess it's not really for me unless you had a kit that looked more permanent and classy.

On the other hand if you're just using it for track i could see it but a little ridiculous unless you have the power to back it up like some people have said already.

Personally, I'd be a bit terrified of tearing off that front lip spoiler with all the dips and pot holes around town and then some. Love this body kit though...looks super pumped up. Oh, and that single exit exhaust has just about made up my mind for me as to what exhaust system I'll buy.

Got quoted an estimate from one of the forum vendors selling them - @BPAuto

They have been very helpful trying to work out a way for me to get the kit to Australia without paying a ridiculous shipping fee...... It was Jonny from BPAuto that i have been dealing with........

Umm, isn't this technically a Rocket Bunny/Trust/GReddy kit? Got to give credit where credit is due...

I thought Rocket Bunny was just the name. Is that another "person" behind this?

It's like a collaboration between Greddy/Trust and TRA Kyoto 6666/(rocket bunny I believe is the name for the kit or something along those lines)

Would be acceptable if the holes were filled and the panels were painted to match the car. As it sits, it's atrocious.

Considering the amount of body work needed to install this kit, it will be a piece of cake for the body shop to fill in and level the rivet holes and paint it to match.

If I were to do this, I'd leave the rivets, but paint the fenders to match. Rear wing would be a functional APR unit, and the front and side skirts will be from another kit, maybe the Nur kit...

I want to know how much the flares add to the fender. I'm thinking 255s front and 275s rear would be the way to go with a built block and the AP 400 kit.

I think it looks raw how it is, and gives it a very aggressive look. I think blending it might take away some of that.
