body kits - Page 2

The only body modifications I would plan on are suttle simple things like the front emblem and the fuel filler door. As for the Splitter, looks sharp, but if I had that on my car where I drive it would have ruts ground into it in no time. Most if not all parking lots have those dreaded speed bumps and some are so high I scrape bottom (exhaust) when I drive over them which I usually avoid doing so. The rear wings is nice but a bit on the super B look for me. It would be great to find a mechanical or motorized wing that only extends at speed and remains flat when slow (similar to porche 911). I may plan on new parts or a body kit after I get too much road rash (stone chips) but hopefully that will not happen.

I like the way the Cobra R wing looks on a coupe...but I've seen them on convertibles and they just stand TOO tall, esp. when the top is down...so we went with the Steeda race wing which is almost the same just lower.

I hear ya Copperhead! We've got a nice "sanded down" place on the driver's side of ours, too. It's just hard to back off on the 'Dragon!
