Default Opinion on body kit

Hey guys i was thinking I would get the INGS stream Z front bumper for my Z. Then for the Side skirts and Rear bumper I would use the JP co vizage Type a parts. Do you think this would look weird or not. Here are links:\

IMO you have to have a pretty aggressive looking setup to play off any long nose front bumper like that. But thats just my opinion.

9.5 +18 on 265s is a good fit for fronts, far from aggressive in the rear. Especially matched with the type of kit your looking at.

Well its not like the kit is widebody. And I don't want to roll fenders and im also getting 19s so I cant go crazy with tires. I will probably get like a 15mm spacer for the rear.

What do you think the spacers are going to do? You'll need a roll with them. lol

No it will make the rear wheel 10" wide pretty much. Which will not require a roll because I am doing 19x9.5 all around and then a 15mm spacer for the rear.

So if you put 15mm spacers on 9.5 width wheels they become x10?

I assume you are being sarcastic. But it 15mm=.59 inches so yes 9.5+.59 is 10.1 inches. Which just means that the spacer would bring the wheel closer to the fender by .59 inches, simulating the effect a x10 wheel would have. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i know you don't have to roll fenders on 19x10.

you'll be better off going with a 10inch wheel then.
I got a 19x10 +15 rear and added a 20mm spacer and barely needed a roll/pull on a 1.5+ drop on coils in the rear at that time

I'm personally not a big fan of either kit, especially considering how much it will cost to make it look the way you want it to

Well i have saved up a lot of money just for this. Because I've always wanted this car and saved for these reasons. Now I've got my car and I've saved money so..... I don't know why you're being that way.

Yea i'm thinking I will just get the CWEST long nose front bumper. It is cheaper and won't cost as much in shipping. Thanks for the input

Lol..its a completely legitimate question..
And you appear to have given a legitimate answer.

Lots of dreamer threads.. it gets old after the years.. so hence why I asked .

Proceed.
