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

    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.

    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....

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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??

    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...

    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.

    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.
    Becaus this

    And this

    Are greater than this









































    But still not as great as this

    Now that iw what you call body mods.
