Default Why is there no simple/subtle body kit?

Without sounding like a whiner...seems every body kit out there is more on the extreme side then the simple side. All I want is something that attaches along the very bottom and looks simple and clean...the way they do with the Trans Ams and Camaros...just along the bottom...the Esprit is nice but I hate how they have the bumper go so high up and see that it has the stuck on look.

Is it so hard to to do something like this?

What kit is on the silver one? The sides and front look nice and smooth...I just dont like how high the bumper piece comes up to the reverse lights...if it went along the bottom it would be PERFECT

As for the black one...I'm liking that too, although I wish the front and back was a little smoother and rounder instead of so angular and stuff...but still very nice....ill have to consider that one too!

Yeah the Greddy kit is REAL subtle the way it looks just slapped on with a line across the front and those ridiculous side skirts.

I think the Esprit kit has a smoooth look to it, the back is a little over the top though.

I like Havabooz's set up (THOUGH PAINTED OF COURSE!!!). A nice front lip, such as the EVO-R or Veilside version one, the the Veiside underwings on the side, then maybe some smaller back pieces, or none at all. I think it looks nice without being too much.

I really do think that most of these kits ruin the car's body lines rather than accentuate them, or make them look better. Some nice fat lip wheels and lowering on the stock body looks nice/tough enough to me.

How is the wings west kit subtle at all? That kit is tacky and disgusting. Wings west makes body kits for hondas and thats it. Most of their kit are copies of others anyways. (ie CRX <-previous car). Wings west is up their with stillens body kit. It doesnt flow well and just doesnt suit the Z properly. of course this is my opinion.

I think the most subtle and most beautiful kit would have to be the balsarini...
