Fiberglass shatters, CF is expensive, FPC or whatever the plastic is called has a little give to it in case you bump something.

honestly... i think bodykits are a little overrated

the car stock looks pretty nice and unless you have an intercooler the front of the car looks kind of weird with a huge hole in the front with nothing to show off if that makes any sense. I just feel that why spend money on something that has more a chance of breaking then what you already have and you have to spend a bunch of money to put it on and get painted when you could use that money on parts to make it actually faster then just looking fast unless you already maxed out your engine, then its up to you

sorry for my rant but thats just my opinion

Most important is design and fitment,

So far as I know our company is one of the few that actually take the time to develop their kits on their own vehicles, thus ensuring a more exacting application, There are some kits out there that do not even match up.

The Evo8 Kit is our only kit that I know of for the 04-07 that requires modification. Its a J-Spec kit.
