What's your favorite 1st Gen body kit, and why

As I search through the forums I've noticed a lot of posts where someone asked about another person's body kit, and I figured... Why not post everyone's favorite here with a few pictures so everyone else can see whats out there. It would be even more beneficial if you can name who makes the kit as well.

Lets see em!!!

Not really a "body kit" but ZG flares are my favorite for the 1st gen aside from the IMSA Kit.

I haven't any idea unfortunately, I've looked at the 22CWorks website numerous times through babble fish translator to see if I could find any info on who made what but couldn't come up with anything.

I like the Mariah for WB's. IMSA WB is just too extreme for my tastes.

Had a member on another forum photoshop that S1's front air dam onto my S3



Not the most perfect execution, but what do you guys think? I think I'm going to try to build one (and possibly make a mold to build more)

I haven't told anybody this before now but...

If I ever get some more pressing projects done (and there's a ton so I'm not sure I'll ever get to it) I've always wanted to fab a splitter that interfaces with the stock body. Like this:

trusses and all. I hate the look of air dams on our cars but I think this would be a hot touch.

Ok I gave in and got a hood today(I won't cut my original hood with it's Daytona blue underside) , I've started marking it and will attempt to do my own, It's so dissappointing with the number of first gens still out there that we don't have anything to choose from.

I like the Group B kit. Keep the stock front end, put a nice wide-body kit without anything fancy and a simple whale-tail on the back. Actually, I could even go without the tail.

1+ I'm with Divin. If you're not racing it and don't need aerodynamic assistance from a front air dam and spoiler, the stock look is best.
