3rd gen body kit on 1st gen

now i know that ive seen the other 1st gen's with a complete 3rd gen bodykit and they look like ****. but im only getting the front airdam of the 3rd gen and putting it on my ride. my rex already has a rare widebody kit so im not afraid of having to mold the front end into the front left and right fenders. heres some links of the kit im looking at buying and a pic of my car:

what do u mean worst thing....are u talking about my car or are u talking about the kit.....b/c that ive changed my mind and im getting the invader front end which is identical to the veilside rex bodykit.....as for the yellow rex, yes i already said that it looks dumb b/c the kit is wider then the car....but in my case i dont have to worry about that b/c my car is equipped with a widebody and i dont have to worry about molding in the airdam

I think your current widebody looks *ok*, but you need to do something about that factory bumper... And I don't think throwing a 3rd gen bodykit bumper on it is the answer.

Use a kit for the FC. I suggest a Erebuni bumper cover. Itll look nice.

ok for starters that bumper is going to disappear with the new front end, and along with the turn lamps are going to be removed and im installing 3rd gens.....also i cant use any kit to put on my front end b/c of my wide front fenders...most of the other kits would look like trash b/c they would have to be customized by making them wider

i already ordered the front airdam and it will be her either tuesday or wednesday so i should have the new front end on by at least next weekend.....well keep posting thoughts and ill keep u update with pics of the installation of the airdam

Wait so you are saying that the veilside front will fit your wide fenders but any other 3rd gen kit will have to be widened?

You sound like a f&f ricer anyway so have fun.
