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. This post has been edited by Lil-Joe101: Sep 10, 2011 - 6:02 AM -------------------- From Japan to Texas my st202 follows me.

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.

No particular order. drifting? it was so overrated and it never picked up here in the states. auto-x is becoming huge. f&f came out what, 8? 10?? years ago? it was huge then because import car modding was on the rise. it slowly died because idiots put on frickin' high ass wings/aluminum spoilers, unpainted bodykits, had a front bodykit and didn't have the rest, had a horrendeous bodykit, or blah blah i can go on and on. people started backing away from bodykits and looked for cleaner lines (oem kits, oem lip, nice clean drop with wheels, etc). I was never into bodykits so i wouldn't be able to tell you guys why it really died. it's just how i feel died after talking to folks and just seeing it out on the streets. i usually roll my eyes at people with bodykits/unpainted bodykits because i never got the idea of putting one on. and dont forget those stock cars driving around with a huge ass 5" muffler outlet  no wonder people hate us.QUOTE (jordisonjr @ Sep 10, 2011 - 1:51 PM) It really depends on the car too. Look at most of the nissans used in drifting and the hellaflush look. Most of them have full kits and they can pull it off well. I think the only reason a kit looks tacky is the kit itself, because theres too much going on. Like the invader kit, imo looks like complete garbage. But my buddy has a s14 silvia witha full kit, and it looks a lot better than stock with a lip would, simply because of how clean the kit is. true, only certain cars will look good with a kit. --------------------  |
