Poll: who thinks body kits are gay?

[looking4car]

do you think body kits are gay?

[aaronfelipe]

I see no poll and I can tell you, you WON'T need one. They ARE mostly gay. It's a fact.

[looking4car]

i think they look sweet

[aaronfelipe]

I think you are about to go down :taun:

[mikespeed95]

fall out boy goes down

[Ran]

Depends on the kit and the car it's going on. Most aftermarket bodykits and nasty, but there are a handful out there that can tastefully enhance a car. :yes:

[The Yousef]

the best poll evar!!!!!!!












..wait







...there is no poll:???:





..i'm confused




is like the Matrix where there is no spoon? :thinking:

Body kits are cool on hondas,SRTs,WRXs,EVOS and so on............i HATE seeing damn ugly body kits on RX7s and Supras..they look great stock y mess it up

[FNR32]

i feel that body kits are pretty gay on any car especially something that is limited or semi rare

[GTScoob]

Yeah they're hot. I really like the ones that look like a big catfish mouth and lower the ground clearance so your car looks you've got bags even though you're riding on cut stock springs.

Personal preference I guess, I dont see the problem

[Evil Goat]

if you spent more time building the car you want instead of worrying about what people think youd be more apt to enjoy your car and not always wanting to change something

i hate body kits on anything, period, theyre useless pieces of material, then again im a power guy, thats all i care for is power and a straight line

[sprix!]

So Brad, you think body kits are ok to go on less expensive cars, but on cars in a certain "class" they are not ok? Don't be such an Elitist or make such general statements...
To answer the question, oh wait, the question needs to be clarified a bit. To me, that is like asking if wheels are gay, or if windows are gay. Is there a specific body kit that you are referencing?
I think most body kits out are pretty tacky. The nice ones, like the one on the black Supra above are few and far in between.

[OneSlow5pt0]

well its a hard question to answer...and most all body kits are tacky...i wouldnt want one on any car..but thats the owners choice not mine,i dont go around laughing at people with body kits,their just not my thing

[idriveasloweclipse]

if the work is done right like the s2k ^ , then it looks good. But most people with "Body Kits" don't have the work done right, correct me if im wrong, but I tend to link most body kits with big metal wings, decals, and nos...jmo overall I think body kits are :gay:

There aren't any stead fast rules in car modification. There are generalities and always exceptions to the rules when it comes to style. I pesonally like nice kits that exentuate the factory styling.

[OneSlow5pt0]

see i can kinda agree with that,like when some told me u gotta check out Toyko Drift their is the best looking RX7 ever, and i see it and bout made me puke to see such disrespect to the RX7 name...and the damn skyline engine mustang..that was gay too...but back on subject,if u stay with the intinded look for the car when it was built,thats cool...

[nofive-0]

this is why I have a body kit on my car. This one in specific. There is nothing wrong with making your car look better. But everyonebody can spot shitty work and an ugly bumper. Its not rocket science or "preference". A GT wing on an 89 accord is ugly. Period.

Now that iw what you call body mods.

[Zeeb]

IMO it depends on wat u like, i used to have one, then i got tired of things hitting it, going over speed bumps, people calling it a ricer, so i dropped it, im curently redoing my car and will never put a big kit on it again, but it just depends on wat u like. i mean its personal opinion realy.

[down_shift]

Kits aren't the problem

DAMN,thats U-G-L-Y

[bigdare23]

Depends on the car. Like a "real" mugen kit on any honda is str8 sexy or "real" buddyclub kits on the car it was made for (EK's and EP's) are cool. Shit like "boxer kits" and aerogear kits are big no no's in my book. But honestly it's really up to the driver tho.

U stole my avatar. :( Im going to a corner to cry now.

I could go either way. I had a kit on my old car, well 2 diff. ones, and now have a "stock" lip kit on the new car... either way, both are good.

[Crazy Asian]

Im 99% on this why. Cuz I own a Lude. And the only kits out their that I love is the WWRS, OEM, and Mugen. WWRS and OEM are lip kits and they really bring out the car more. Mugen just slaps you in that face and says "Im more beautiful then your girlfriend."

[SE-Rious1]

body kits are nice but those lip kits are looking pretty clean now days:goodjob:

i for sure like that! very nice

[mikespeed95]

aye bruh it aint a body kit it be AERO yo

[cornercarver78]

some stuff I like. Alot of stuff I don't... Just depends on the car an the kit.

[pakiman626]

imo supra and rx-7 and shit need them most.

[TLfanatic]

it depends on what kind of car it is and what kind of body kit it is.

[soplocar]

depends on the kit, and what kind of wheels you get in order to make a car look nice or look rice!

[eViLMunkey]

Just matters on the kit, but i prefer to go with a good lip lit since the most that you screw up is the lip

[down_shift]

god just let the thread die. no one is saying anything new.

[eViLMunkey]

So, it just shows what the majority thinks. .

[down_shift]

exactly, kits, altezzas, wing, etc are not the problem. bad taste is.

expensive rice? LOLOL

[Z32redondo]

I actually like some JDM kits...that is actual JDM from the manufacturer not the fake shit.

[ranj]

a bodykit is ok if it doesn't F*&% up the design of a car, for example having a nice round style car and having boxy side skirts.
it really depends on the kit.

[Jecht]

I think that if they match the lines of the car properly and are installed properly, its perfectly fine. I dislike things that are too busy or have too many angles. Its like the pic of the S14 with that ugly bodykit - it has way too much going on in the front and it sticks out way too far, which makes it look horrible.

[BKgen®]

IMO if you've got the money for less-important things like a body kit, then do it... but make sure you're car has the balls to back it up. If you're pretty much stock as far as performance goes, i would say spend the money on engine/suspension mods.
Nothing makes me laugh harder than seeing the mexicans (and wiggers) around here in g-ville with exstensive body work done on the exterior, with nothing more than a fart cannon in the performance department.
go>show.

that shit is :gay:.

And whats worse is that people will but it because is JDM tyte.

[Sammich]

go go gadget rice killer

[Lucky DAWG]

i think the exact opposite

i can't stand body kits on civics, accords, preludes and the such...

i think it looks amazing on more expensive cars like any kind of lexus, supra, rx-7, or even some lambo's and ferraris

for instance... hers an Auto Couture kit on my car... all it does is enhance the original lines, it doesn't try to change the car all together like some cheap Honda kits... if you have an older Acura or Honda or something just be proud of what you got, dont try and get a kit to make it into an entirely different looking car :goodjob:

http://carview-img3.bmcdn.jp/carlife/images/UserCarPhoto/330277/p5.jpg

[Sammich]

thats nice...there are rare occasions where kits look nice and this is one

[MongolPup]

yes,IMO the supra and RX-7 are in the same class as Corvettes..and u wouldnt put bodykits and wings on a Corvette,would u?

You would if it had a function....like better cooling and wider tires...... TRD 3000GT FTW.

[Doppelgänger]

the only reason i have the bumper i have is for better cooling/intercooler space. The only reason im doing side skirts is because they are factory Mazda pieces. But now that im actually on the track and trying to get looks, im adding the wing... it wont be very functional, i know, but i like the look... its not like ANY wing is functional on a drift car... but they still put them on :)

[Reaper-D]

Yes, very well said, keep them simple and not to crazy they can look good.
But their are some cars that should never see a body kit,Like stealths and 3000GTs.:ninja:

[bdydrpdmazda]

shoulda been multiple choice cause I like lip kits and body kits

[Crazy Asian]

Thats is why I keep the lines of the Prelude simples. Only thing I got is a WWRS Kit. Though possibly in the near future an oem kit is on the way but I like the WWRS kit makes it stand out and looks like Im the only one on IA who has one. And then of course the Type S spoiler which keeps looking at me like it wants to rape me but overall Im happy on how my car loooks. Honda=lip kit or a few body kit...like I mean 1% should go on a Honda.

[man]

THERE IS NO CAR THAT LOOKS BETTER STOCK THEN MODDED... THE QUESTION SHOULD BE THE EXTENT OF THE MOD'S ;) \/


http://tuningnews.blogsome.com/images/f430a.jpg

Cant agree with you there. Ferrari's are designed the way they are for a reason and shouldn't be touched, neither Hamann nor Novitec looks better or is more functional (bolt-on wings aside)

[jadakid88]

it depends on the car and the kit.

[VooDooXII]

Certain kits...I guess like lip kits...look nice. I don't like those OD super-washboard double throwdown, ribbed-the-fuck-out kits at all.

Some make me feel like doing this... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pFiW27qDoM)but hey...whatever floats your boat.

[wantboost]

LET THIS THREAD DIE!!!!!! ROFL

[Greddypacked]

LuckySC killa ride man.

[boostedb16]

i bought a real buddyclub2 kit and it looks good because its clean looking not all pointed and sticking out every where. but like a 89 escort that runs around where i live is a good example of HELL NO.

[NoNafs]

Nah body kits are nice if you finish em, meaning not drive around with a primered car.

[oblivion0317]

body kits are great in all but thry relly dont hold up for hard core race
i mean look at lambos elises ext. none come with a floor lowered bodykit stock for reason
but they still look kick ass
for when you dont want to get your hands dirty:camera: :cheers: to body kits that bring the hatered among us

[Z32redondo]

I bring this thread up for when someone says the nicest supra is so and so...I bring them here and show them the one on the first page and was like you were saying...They usually go into awe lol

[Frög]

lip kits FTW /discussion

[Wurm]

they make some good looking bodykits for 240's

[OneSlow5pt0]

gayness

[takume]

Not the ebay bodykit
btw, i like mine looks clean

[ATK_Designs]

depends on how it looks

It's like asking:

Do you think cars are fast?

:wtf:

Some cars are retarded slow, and some are amazing fast.....

[Shadowfire]

I think its all in the car and the kit. There are certain cars that look 10x better with a kit, but then again it all depends on the style of the kit. Theres a lot of kits that are just way too played out, and aren't really made to flow with a certain car (ie. blitz kits). I think a lip kit looks good on most cars.

[Total_Blender]

So are the body kits gay because the actual parts are having ass sex with eachother, or are they gay because of an association with gay people? Because gay people are supposed to have style and taste. I don't think any self respecting homo would be caught dead in some of the:
primered,
combat body-kitted,
stock steel wheeled,
bolt-on winged,
mad tyte JDM yo'd out
ricers
that I've seen on Barrett Pkwy or Pleasant Hill. I don't think body kits are gay:idb: , I just think they look bad.

Body kits are terribile as a general rule. The black Lexus posted earlier is an exception to that rule. I think that there really are some bodykits that might enhance a car's lines while adding intercooler room, etc. But for the most part, a car with a body kit is like a person with a bad nose job.

[KERR]

Still stand by your statement?

http://www.tunerzine.com/articles/171/WP1024.jpg

That black supra looks like shit. Actully to be honest with you 98% of the people only notice i have a different bumper. In a way thats nice, means i pulled off the look i was going for.

I do agree with that 90% of the body kits on ANY car look shit. I also agree that 90% of the car CAN look good with a kit IF they are done correctly and are not going for the crazy import fast and furious look....

[Slade.Khazid]

yeah imma jump out on a limb here and say that body kits are fagalicious

[.::UNKNOWN::.]

like every body said it is the kit now if you look at the veilside rx7 that is just sex in its self just like the 4th gen prelude mugen kit pics below http://www.e-autosalon.net/tokyo/contest2005/img/sporty_1.jpg

[.::UNKNOWN::.]

http://images.extremedimensions.com/ExtImages/92_preluder33complete.jpgthen you got stuff that looks like ass like these fiberglass kits

[OneSlow5pt0]

guess im the only one that thinks the veilside RX-7,is ugly as sin

[Killer]

all depends on the kit, and the car...

[XanRules]

Many, many of them are really faggy.

[Glides]

do you think body kits are gay?

I think you're gay and this polls gay. :goodjob:

[DoriDori]

do you think body kits are gay?


I think its like this: Body kits are gay BUT aero kits are not
The difference is one is for apperance, and the other is function.
So what is it your asking?

[DieselNuts]

depends on the car and the kit. I put a bodykit on my G35 and I think it looks great.

[wantboost]

would you guys let this fucker die

[AnthonyF]

i think u are gay for making a thread like this

[_Christian_]

there are only a few body kits that i see as nice, so i voted that body kits are gay.

[AnthonyF]

if some1 wants to put a kit on there car...you can't tell them not to. If your a friend you should suggest not to or another idea. Do whatever the hell you feel like. If u like kits, do a kit, but DO IT RIGHT. no this shitty half ass fit, no paint, shitty mesh, doesn't flow with the car, etc...

[01laser]

GAY

[FCC_Newbie91]

It all depends all the car. Like MY car, no. A body kit would be pointless unless I had lots of money. And then again, if I had lots of money, I wouldn't have this car. But I have nothing against them, although they can make or break a car's "image" you know??

[sagarchahal]

depends

[CRXchic19]

i'm not against body kits, its just the extent that people take it to that will determine if its class or trash:


me for example. i have a CRX, i put a body kit on my CRX (GASP!!!) but i will never in my life put a wing, or stickers, or an annyoing lawn-mowerish exhaust tip or any dumbass shit of that nature....

in my case, in my own opinion, i felt that the stock body was too sqare for me, and i'm not into square. so with the kit, i get the cut angles, as in the hatch and sides, but then the body flows together. my car, i like it, curvy. and if you look at it from the front it looks like a little hippo with ears, i think its cute.....lol.

i also prefer 90's cars to new cars, and 70's to 80's. i hate too boxy cars (land rover, wtf), and too bubbly cars (intrepid) .i was going to buy an older 911 a few weeks back, i love the front, but i CANT STAND the cuts in the back, and that was the decision breaker for me. its all just preference....

just my :2cents:

[GSRteg®]

Body kits are just plain gay! Lip kits are cool though just my :2cents: .

[turb0teg]

yes,IMO the supra and RX-7 are in the same class as Corvettes..and u wouldnt put bodykits and wings on a Corvette,would u?

I remember back when the tuner scene first started coming about as a little kid. Body kits were pretty much only available for cars like RX7s and Supras, and that's when they were cool. Now I wouldn't put a body kit on any of my cars, but theres still some out there that look good. Same goes for lip kits. Some are nice, others aren't. As for me and my cars, I'll keep all stock body lines.

[Sneezin]

lip kits are nice, body kits are fucking gay...

[JDMJorgie]

I like lip kits but I can honestly say that not all body kits are gay, eg.- Mugen bodykit for civic, crx, and RSX, Buddy Club bodykit for EG civic, Versus kit for EVO, and so on. All of these bodykits are simple, clean, and look good. Anybody that disagrees IS gay.

[Julio]

Depends what kit and what car...

I always thought this car looked good... A local dude used to own it.
It was slow, I think an LS swap or something.. but decent, clean look.

[quickdodge®]

^^^ I agree. That kid used to get picked on all the time in the early days of IA. Lolol. The car was clean, though, but he kept thinking it was the fastest Civic out of Japan. Later, QD.

[CRACKaLACKIN]

that car is gorgeous. i like body kits...obviously

[superboost]

depends on the kit, but most are hideous

[KillTheCrow]

Body kits suuuck. Stock or lips is the way to go.

[noticeD]

i like some body kits

[1SICKLEX]

Some body kits are awful. Some are sweet.

[5speed]

I don't give sexual orientations to inanimate objects.

[slimm]

if theyre done correctly, in a subtle way, they can be hot. otherwise, gayness all the way.

[Pat Ess]

ehh, i follow the motion that it depends on what it goes on, there's certaincars that can go w/o, and their are certain cars that dont have their mystique unless their tampered with..i like seeing people's imaginations at work, to me..a supra is a hideous car prior to a drop and a lip kit, or body kit of some sort, i just dont find them appealing at stock, my favorite stock import from a look stand point is the 3000gt, got a buddy with a '02 i think (not sure when they went out, but a latter model) and his car looks great the way it is...

[BIGRICH]

body kits are fucking gay....hondas with body kits are gay....any car with a body kit is gay....guys who start polls like this are gay.....

[Arm&hammer]

Some look good and some don't, but it's all just personal preference.

[punkr6]

what does a body kit have to do with sucking dick ?
