ull get mixed opinions on here mate as some bods like sublte or even minted exmaples of standard cars (no names *cough* ian *cough*)

some go for subtle styling

some go for your mental jap!!!

have a think about what YOU want for YOUR car, take a look in the features / gallery section - to be honnest if there ent nothing in there that takes your fancy you ent got a chance!!!!

ive gone down the subtle, attention to detail, slightly aggressive look

i agree with mikey, everyone is to there own and likes there own styling. i would also look through the styling section which is ful of different kinds of styles. i have the kingdom big mouth front bumper and the standard sr back bumper which has been smoothed.

If ur looking at kitting up your car mate then in my opinion gte or gsi aint the way to go unless u can do a good big mouth conversion! Quiet alot of people dont like the abyss but its grown on me and u can get it cheap enough if ur looking for a good price!

its just the cash factor really!! i really like the standard sr but i'd love a totally kitted agressive look as well (not kingdom though sorry mate) like the look of the bat1 bumper.

just the fact that i wouldnt be able to change back afterwords!!!

in my opinion a GSI look with a few customised bits would be the best way to go. nice subtle + clean.

if u fancy a GTE replica u already have the kit, well apart from the sideskirts u just need to colourcode everything

if he goes down the gte replica he dont even need to colourcode the skirts as they come as grey standard!

obiously it would look sweeter though

fella have a look at this

the standard bumpers, smoothed out and sprayed in anthracite. if you mod the original bumper IMO they 99% always look right on the car as theyre supposed to be there
