Default Opinions on this MODIFIED Chargespeed Kit

I like the chargespeed kit, but a few things I would like to modify. What do you think of these chops? Like it? Don't like it?

I like the side skirts idea (although the vents have grown on me over time), and the front seems like it would work and look good (although I like the side markers left in if you're not putting on canards; gives it some detail). I like the modified rear, too, but the amount of work you'd have to have done would be prohibitive. I think it'd be easier to take your Ings+1 and cut out and reshape the bottom, rather than try to shave and mold all that stuff off the chargespeed.

That's about what I was thinking. I'm planning to get the chargespeed kit myself and do some mods.

Actually, I'm not planning on buying the entire kit and doing it to my car. I would only get the bumper. Instead, I'm wondering if you guys like the entire chop/mod idea? If so, I may potentially try to get a custom kit going! The question is, would it sell?

I think it looks much cleaner without the vents.
DONT DO THE CANARDS. They look too damn cheesy.
I think you made it pretty clean though.

I like your plans with the front bumper as long as you add back the canards....

The rest of the kit, I'd leave as is........

Looks ok either way to me. Although I don't think I would spend that kind of money to modify the kit.

i kind of liked the sideskirts on the chargespeed kit as well...but as for the front, it now has a close resemblance to the do-luck front and the rear looks close to the tourenn kit....

Adding the "slight flare" would be expensive I think....might as well just order the sideskirts and sell your set up. Covering the vents looks clean.

I really like this rear bumper, especially with the CF center piece.
