What is todays Trend, To fiberglass or not to fiberglass Options

[Lil-Joe101]

I've been reading alot in magazines lately and noticing on the streets that fewer and fewer peole are rocking body kits and going more for the stock look or lip. Just wanted to know what has sparked this movement and why the dislike of body kits?

Im interested in hearing everyone's thoughts and opinions.

If installing one is done right, it can still look very nice. The issue is that most people don't and it looks like **** plus it cost money which most kids don't have. An engine no one can see but a bad paint and bondo job everyone can. Like what NYp8tBaller07 said, the older crowd like me don't like it. Then again I never did like it from the start even before the movie F&F.

My first car was 1989 Supra Turbo. I believe I ran somewhare in 300+ hp range as I can keep up with vettes, and depending on driver a viper. Never dyno because I was never into the HP counting nor was I into the looks. My car look stock all the way to rims. Only thing that made my car look different was the 1.5 drop, HKS Supper Dragger, and JDM clear coners. I sold the car for parts due to school, but afterwards I got the ST185.

Supra Mods in case anyone thought I was blowing smoke up my ass, as most people with and an intake thinks they got an extra 30 hp, LOL.

That F&F time is over...who gets excited about NOS and vinyl anymore? It's about drift, JDM, EDM, and OEM (and some EBM thrown in). No particular order.

and i thought the military was bad about acronyms, no but seriously depending on the kit and if installed correctly (as already said not everyone does) some cars look good with kits. mot everyone is going for a more clean oem look these days. or that new honda fad with the stickers thing idk whats up with that lol. im keep my st205 all stock the only thing i would think about running is a C-ONE front bumper other then that its all oem for me. now the wife's ST202 its guna get a kit but thats just because i already have the kit (i got it when i bought the C-ONE hood at a junk yard). my 5GC in the states it probably one of the ugliest cars you could ever look at everyone laughed until it came time to run and especially in an kind of twisties. sometimes those are the best ones when there like haha thats a piece of junk and they get there doors blown off hahahaha.
