I think they both have their advantages/disadvantages...the best imho would be to replicate the knightsports kit minus the triangle shaped headlights...
1. it will look way better
2. it will save money...and hassle on your part.
GP Sports kit is pretty nice also...

The reason I bring this post up... Is to see if we can get another body kit replica done here. I figured if there is enough people interested we could present this information to a company that reproduces kits.
I have the Cork Sport "Type II" kit now. I got it because it was in fact affordable. But seeing that Knight Sports bumper lately is making me not like this kit anymore. I like the KS one better actually. But more of you are liking the drifty type GP look. Oh well....
Would you guys be interested in replica kits?

Overall, I like the GP, but the triangular blinker lenses on the Knight bumper look pretty nifty. If the hood pins are just cosmetic, ghetto. I like taking off the hood when working on the car, so working pins would be cool.

GP all the way. The knight sports is really trick, but too "busy" in my opinion. The real GP kit is something like 1800 for the front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper. If a replica could be made for say.....900 then i would start saving cash out of my paycheck right now. Personally i think corksport or rotaryextreme should make it since they do such good jobs at fiberglass.

CF, although 8x as strong as steel by mass is also 3 -5x as flexable depending on the weave, the 4 hood pins are there to make sur the unsupported area behind the light does not flex upwards into the air stream and act as a parachute to rip the hood off the would be two hinge assembly..
A Fast and the Futile look would not using a sigle hood pin or only using two, that way while YOUR going down the 1/4 mile instead of a chute you can let the hood fly up to slow you down..
oh, knight sports is a much nicer kit. I'd buy it that or thr RE-A kit.
