it's all a matter of opinion...with the stillen kit, it is not as severe or as noticable...i chose the spoilers etc. kit because i hit a raccoon and cracked my front stock bumper so i needed a full replacement...even if i hadn't cracked my stock bumper, i would still go with the spoilersetc kit...i just think it looks a lot meaner and it fits the body lines perfectly...in my opinion, you will get a lot of looks w/ the stillen kit but a lot more w/ the spoilers etc kit...this is from experience...i like both kits, but i felt for what the stillen kit was, that it was a little overpriced...the spoilersetc kit is a direct replacement and if you get it, you don't have to worry about waiting for those damn clear front corners to come out...to see more pics of mine checkout http://www.geocities.com/turboburnout/bodykitfin/

The stillen kit is agressive enough for a family sedan. The kit you got personally makes the car look more like a Honda Rice boy. Sorry but kits like that just ruin the looks of the car, the front is the only part that looks semi-good. That is my opinion and don't take it wrong. I would never ruin a 25-28k car with something like that.

Wow!!!! Take it eazy on MrBurner
I would have to agree with you. one more point is that the stillen is not going to crack like fiberglass will when you hit a parking stopper.

Kev & Maxx-s-ter ...
Do u guys notice gaps between the kit & the body of your Max? The few Max's I've seen with the body kit have some gaps because the kit either doesn't or wasn't fit perfectly to the car .. so u can sorta tell it's a kit ... how did u guys compensate for this?

I only paid $200 for my install so I can't complain if it's not perfect. but if you spend enough $$$ you can have a body shop do a perfect job, they will even blend it in with the car for the right $$$$.
Re: Re: Kev & Maxx-s-ter ...
Wow!
Did the $200 u paid include the painting for the kit?

Hey burner: is your kit a different color from your stock color? looks like they misblended...? or is it becasue of the material of the kit that makes it look sorta off?
Also,
Does the stock front grill fit in the new body kit? And will the old fog lights fit??? or can we custom fit those in??? thanks

yeah, stock from grill fits and the fogs will have to molded in, but that is not uncommon...paint is a shade lighter on the bottom and i'm not sure if that was the shops messup or if its the material...either way, it is less noticable in person than it is in the pics
