Body Kit vs No Body Kit

Body Kit vs No Body Kit
Hey everyone, so I think I'm going to start doing some more visual stuff to my car before I get into some more performance mods on my Mustang. I wanted to post here to get peoples opinions who aren't "mustang" people.
So first off the front bumper needs replaced along with my rocker panels thanks to the previous owner. I also want to replace the wing because I like more of a ducktail style than the stock wing that comes on the GT.
Now I'm looking at 2 different options. One is this kit
Ford Mustang Body Kit, 05-09 Mustang C-Series Kit - Cervini's
I would also do these lights with it. Mustang Tail Light Conversion Kit, 05-09 Mustang Kits - Cervini's Auto Designs
And the second option is going with just a Roush front bumper and rocker panels and a GT500 rear bumper as well as a GT500 ducktail spoiler.
What does everyone think? I like the cervinis kit because my goal for this build is to old school. My exhaust and cam choices were deliberately chosen to give it that old school flare. I want it to have the looks as well but I don't want it to be tacky or ricey. I will post some pics down below if you guys don't want to hunt around for what all I have talked about. Thanks

Hands down the Cervini kit. The side skirts are awesome looking, pending you plan on putting the exhaust out the side like done in the pics. I also agree with the ducktail wing and it will definitely set you apart from the rest.
I know in my area there are a lot of mustangs and sadly the majority of them pretty much look the same, just different colored racing stripes, not many of them have the body kits, and when they do have them, they really stand out in the crowd

That is how it is here, you see a lot of mustangs but they are virtually stock other than an exhaust (most of the time).
I'm leaning towards the Cervini's kit just because it is old school and it is different.

I have always been one to prefer the 'stripped' down simplistic look more. A unique color that grabs attention with nice rims etc. Only functional items added. That is just me though. One of the reasons I liked the 2008 bullet addition Mustang. Strong stance that looks mean while being minimalist. Just my opinion though. Also I live in the land of potholes and they eat body kits and low profile tires.

Hi `Kyle,
I'd just `do what `YOU like best & can afford $
I've learned not to let a car own me & not have the $'s to maintain or to enjoy the journey of life....
It's stressful to not have the $'s to enjoy a super ride or go places that you would enjoy...(Just my thoughts) I just share what I think (lol)
Oh, let us know what you decide & keep us updated.
I love this MCF & that other member's respect each other no matter what type of ride they have or drive...
Thanks Kyle for all your posts & thanks member's for being you (No Thrash Talk) on the MCF
