Default Austin Martin or Z

I'm getting my Z in May or June and was just looking around for my options for a body kit and didn't actually think I was going to get one until I saw this kit... I fell inlove, makes the Z look like an Aston Martin, yeah its kinda posing but I just think it looks sick... I found it here:

You need to see any kits in person before buying. I attened a few meets and some kits that look hot in pics are not in person.

you need the kit and really big rims, lowered suspension, looking at like 12000 to transform a stock to this...
+ others on top

I was thinking about getting this body kit in the begining... Yeah +$7,000.00 to just get the kit here in the US and then you can add another $7,000 - $10,000 to have it installed and painted. This kit in the US would be a HANDS DOWN show winner. But no one that I've heard of yet has even attempted to get one over here. Beautiful kit but my pockets don't run that deep for $20,000.00 looks. Yet.

There isnt much a point to drop 20000 just on a bodykit...
And you wont win a show just because you got a bodykit that no body has......
for at least 60000 (cost of car + cost of kit + minimum bolt ons) you can get a second hand aston martin that is a real aston martin

Do you have any idea what an Aston Martin cost??? Even with the Damd's kit and all the bells and Bling wouldn't even come close to the sticker price of an Aston. Besides...Have you ever seen and Aston??? The only thing the kit might have in common is the grill and front bumper... And that a stretch of the imagination.

Dude!?!?! Are posting just to be posting something or do you think about what you're saying before you post it? Everything you just said is completely BS. I know you're better than that or have I been wrong all this time?
