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.

I think a body kit works more on thin cars like a 94-99 Corolla, where from a side profile the bumper looks thin and you have this huge gap from the ground up. The Celica has naughty curves from the factory so adding to the body lines makes it look odd or ugly. The one or two times a year I see a 6GC I stare at it. Even stock it still has some presence and stands out.
