Well, I was thinkin about going FD shopping, but I think I want something kinda different. I have been lookin at the Mariah mode 6 package for my TII.
I have seen the pics on the web, but its really hard to tell what the car really looks like on a computer screen.
That brings me to ask, has anyone ever seen one in the flesh? How good/bad does it look? How is the fit? Would you do it if you had the coin? Max...

well, i just recieved a quote today about how much the all said and done cost would be and.... well they said once you factor everything in it is about 13,000 dollars. it requires a lot of custom molding of the fiberglass body parts to the existing body. i think in a few years, i might be ready for this.

I have been in MARIAH and seen their MODE 6 2nd gen. It looks badass!..the only thing i didnt like was the rear wing that sticks out too far back. Other than that everything looks sweet!..Its a full wide body kit so it does involve alot of custom work. I have seen some people that only bought the front and rear end but it looks better with the wide fenders. If you want full wide body kit, I may say that TRI-POINT's kit looks good too. My friend Chito with a 3Rotor 87 has this kit and it looks awesome. Tri-Point kits are alot cheaper!..It does require a wide 10" rims..

Good lord.. 13K I think it looks bad ***, but not 13K bad ***

But to have widened fenders for some 16x10 slicks.. heaven

PaulC,

It's not a kit. It's a conversion from what the Mariah guys told me. That includes suspension rework, turbo / engine upgrades, etc.. I think there price has dropped as well and you can get a TT 2 rotor cosmo & kit for ~$13K now - not too bad.

thank you drive through:

This is my personal opinion on the "system"...

The front bumper looks too much like a MkIII Supra, but it is very functional with all the ducts and enlarged openings.&nbsp tims uses them for his SU FC turbo in NASA Pro Racing.&nbsp I feel the front bumper has very little "style" to it.

The fender "blister" kit is too "rounded", as this goes counter to the "sharp" nature of the FC design.&nbsp This makes the car look like a "blob".

The rear spoiler is "interesting" - nothing else on the market looks like it, and it's very distinctive.&nbsp You would never mistake this design for another brand.&nbsp I think it's a bit too big an gaudy myself.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.&nbsp Some people love this kit - I would rather spend my money else where.
