It's a little overkill for my taste, but it's better than some others I've seen. Do you have another ~$1k set aside for painting? Also, that rear bumer is for a driverside single exhaust, most singles are on the passenger side, so you'll need a custom pipe from the cat to the muffler.

yeah its a little much... IMO i think all 7's look good enough just lowered with an s5 front bumper...but as far as that body kit.. i can live with the front bumper and side skirts, but that rear bumper is definitely too much..

Sure, muffler shops can make you a connector pipe, just make sure you have an existing pipe that can have the flanges cut off. Don't use the flanges off of the stock y-pipe since they are only 2.25" and 2". You can always buy a cheapo "test pipe" off of ebay to get a set of 2.5" flanges.

My 86 I have a BN Sports body kit replica looks like this^^^^ I love it but I wouldn't love it so much if I had to Daily Drive her wayyyy to low. If you are going to DD it I suggest you get somthing else IMHO.
