Me too. If the GP sports one had a light kit like the RE then I would get that one.

Check out Mariah Motorsports - I'm blown away by their wide-body kits. They cost a lot tho. If I had an extra 3 grand to spend on body work this is where I'd go:

Or, go to www.mariahmotorsports.com, go to exterior => 86 - 91 => and click on wide body kit mode six.

The GP is a nice kit I just wish there was a different picture of it. I am kind of tired of the same pic being posted.

Has anyone checked out the Corksport Type II front bumper. Seems to be a true front clip and is only $399.
Oh yeah the picture is here : http://www.corksport.com/main.php3?p...hp3?cat=214907

Uhmm.. so do you know what a front clip is?

(FYI, its the front half of a car... ...not a bumper)

And speed is nothing without control...

thanks guys, and after finally getting to see the bomex kit, i think i like the GP Sport the best, though the bomex side skirts would be perfect for subtle exterior mods, which i might do by just getting an S5 front and getting a lip so gotta have side skirts but cant go too far out wild

so you guys don't like this kit?



I don't care for the rear spoiler... but the kit is only the front spoiler, rear bumper and side skirts.

Well fine then smartass, I suppose i should have said *Stuck up British accent * "front fascia" */accent*
Just because I confuse words doesn't mean I'm stupid. Oh and by the way can anyone tell me (and autocrash) how fine the line is between winning and out of control. Yes speed is nothing without control, but that wasn't my quote so don't flame me.

P.S. : Nice welcome by the way

guys im sorry but i think the mariah kits is ugly as hell.....first of all the top half of the bumper looks like it came from a previous gen supra which im sure it did so that look it way outdated.....maybe in 91 i would have like it but its 2002 going on '03...and the wing.....my God......looks like something u would see sticking out of the water at sea world.......i mean it looks nice if ur nostalgic, i mean what im saying is makes me sound like the Ferrari F40 was ugly, it was nice in its time but if it rolled out of marranello today wed say its ugly as hell and that what i am trying to get across........i think if u wanna go widebody maybe some rally style fender flares like from stock wrx to rally wrx...make something like that for the Rex...kind of a GTC kinda deal would be badass if you didnt over do it.....

my personal preference is stockish, but subtly aggressive, i like the corksport nose, based on s5 lines but slightly enlarged and aggressified. either that or an s5 nose with a front spoiler. maybe some mild side skirts and bumper caps. and for spoiler... either none, stock t2, or the mold-on one. but when it comes to full body kits i like the full mariah one. thats just an insane kit! im not a big fan of the RE amemiya one.... looks kinda goofy to me. the mariah widebody is just amazing! looks like some sort of fantasy car from a video game.

GP Sports all the way... but I really want to see how it looks on some of the forum guys' cars (i know some of you bought this!).

For pricing on this, check out the sticky thread at top about the group buy.
