Opinions on Chargespeed Body Kit??

im thinking about getting the chargespeed body kit for my apex silver evo. i was wondering what people think about the kit as i dont see too many people on here with it. can i keep the stock crash beams with it?

http://chargespeed.com/photo/ext-force/ct9a-b/ct9ab.htm

right now my choice is between the chargespeed kit or keep the oem kit and add do luck lip, carbing underpanel, and apr rear diffuser. with either set up i want to get the seibon ts2 hood. please post helpful info. thanks!

Looks very aggressive. I like it, I think with the right combination of rims it would really set it off. IMO you can never go wrong with full JDM aero kits.

The back bumper looks good, but the side skirts don't match and the bumper isn't my style.

here is another pic i found on here where you can compare the stock bumper to the chargespeed one:

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/at...chmentid=87452

are there any other kits you guys can recommend where i can possibly keep my crash beams? i have a lot invested under the hood and i dont want to risk damaging it during a small fender bender. i like the cwest kit but not a fan of their rear bumper and the fact that the crash beam cant be used. definitely would like some help making a final decision. thanks!

You're an idiot you dont need to post garbage like that here, you dont even have to look at this thread. Anyway I do like this kit and I'm thinking about getting one when I have the money.

TwStDeVo,

am not sure if my thoughts are right, but am not a fan of the chargespeed kit for the evo. Front bumper is ok, it would be better if they opted out the front OEM Logo and also making the intercooler duct bigger. The side skirts are so so and the rear bumper? If compared to the OEM USDM, I'd take the USDM version. The Chargespeed add on CF bits for the new scooby looks good, imho.

Go with the second option. It would look way clean, and if you get sick of that then you can go bodykit.
