Default F1 body kit

Im just looking at this body kit and I cant find many example pictures of it or review, the razzi is just covering all of the montes these days lol. Anyone have some pics or opinions on it, I like how it looks but Im not sure on the quality? I really like the fact that I would have grills.

and you would be driving that in the snow???

i like how body kits look, but they are not cheap. i would drive down the road i live on the first day and crack something. nevermind if there was a foot of snow on the ground.

my advice get the body kit and invest in a beater. maybe something foriegn to ruin in the snow.

In your big picture, the car doesn't have the F1 side skirts or rear bumper piece on it. It's only the front bumper. Just an FYI.

Yea I noticed that dbl, I think that front with the xenon side skirts and rear would look the best. And I wonder how close it would be lowered, because my wheels would be a tiny bit bigger than those. Thanks guys, keep the comments or opinions coming.

Also, I just realized jarhead has this kit!!!

The car in the pic appears to have 16"s on . my rims are 17" and I would like to put lowering springs on the front but frankly as it sits I clear parking blocks and speed bumps with only a inch to spare....depending on the kit you choose you will pay between $500 to just under a grand then add fitting and paint. I chose the ridgit fiberglass kit for the ease of maintaining it. fitting it took me no time at all even doing it solo. prep for paint was a skim coat of bondo glaze putty and a can of hi build primer along with light sanding . then I hit the f.glass with a plastic / paint binder and sprayed the entire car with two coats of enamyl followed by two coats clear..this began at 7pm friday and was complete sunday at 2pm with power naps during cure periods.

you can find the F1 in the fiberglass or a flexable plastic (more $$$$) I just find a crack easyer to fill and touch up than trying to deal with a tear.
