Yeah, bodykits are RICE!!! ..... oh wait nevermind I have one LOL

Some people like them, some don't. I get both compliments on the ride, and people saying it's rice. It's an opinion, and you're going to hear it whether you agree or like it. I, obviously, like how they look.

This is an appearance section, which means discussion of appearance. Its cool that I haven't read anything major about engine mods>cosmetic but this site has alot more gearheads and older generation then say LS2 does. Most people here are pretty damn arrogant when it comes to accepting that a car might look good with a specific mod, just because you dont like it doesn't make your choice the best. I personally enjoy looking at the WW on the T/A but i'll never buy it because i don't think it really would look good in person, but i've never seen it in person, how many of you have yet to ever see that kit in person? I have only seen maybe at most 100-200 cars with the kit out of all the 98-02 gen 4's that we made....thats not good odds

I have never seen a WW kit on a Trans Am in person. You bring up a good point with that.

Ok. I see your point but you are stereo-typing too many set-ups in your post.

My car "smells like exhaust."

My car probably "looks" better then your car.

My car is definitely faster than your car.

I have wickedly comfortable leather seats with FULL factory options and ZERO oil consumption . . . no oil in my driveway

a lot of guys now a days like to expand the definition of rice to whatever they don't have on their car.... I love my gfx and spoiler and I know they are a big part of what makes my car stand out and get compliments everywhere I go....

I like the WW kit on Formulas. I think when the time does come I will mold it in instead of retaping it. The tape is cheap and somewhat "fragile". She way lower now with a GC kit but these are the only pics I can post now

Default I Like Scotch!

I also like the body kits. I don't know what the prob is with muscle car guys saying body kits are just for ricers. Louvers are a type of body enhancing paraphonalia (its 3:25 in the mourning and I can't spell right). I love the body kits, I was thinking about doing a one-off kit with the Wings West kit along with the regualr componets and a lot of bondo and fiberglass, I have these ideas and they are great, I just need to let them out onto something, I am going to bed. LOVE THE KIT THOUGH!!!!!

I also did the WW body kit on my TA, custom paint, and just lowered it 2" with intrax. If anyone wants to host pics I'll put them up. I love the look and wouldn't have it any other way. I recently had some trouble with the front dam tape coming off so I'll be getting a urethane weld gun and going to mold the dam into one piece with the bumper then have it repainted.

personally i would go with just the side skirts and the rear, i wouldnt do the front, its a little too much. But my question is, what do you guys think of shaved doors? I am thinking about doing this to my T/A I love the way it looks and the added security is great. I figured when i go to put in the viper GPS system i would do it since i need to program the poppers at the same. And damn it just makes the car look smooth.
