I think that particular kit looks ugly but i saw a really nice lookin kit the other day.. god i cant find it its like aerios or somethin and it looked pretty clean
I think that it looks cool,alot of people just dont like to change body styles on a mustang.Changes on a car make it look different from other people that own that body style,and you want people to turn their heads and look at your mustang not the same old body style that has been out there for years......

Whenever you have to do a double take to find out what kind of car it is....thats when you know you have gone too far. Check out cervinis for GOOD LOOKING body kits or mrbodykit.com

This case might be an exception, however, because I can't believe they have been able to sell many of these kits...
Anyway, a lot of kits suffer from the same flaw that plagued U.S. auto designers from the mid-seventies through much of the eighties. There are too many styling tricks, that don't go together, competing for attention. Keep your mods subtle and tasteful, and your ride will have a lot more class. It will also be a lot easier to sell when the time comes. The more your car varies from stock, the harder it will be to sell. My idea of cool might be somebody else's nightmare. It's extremely frustrating to spend a ton of money making you car look "just right" in your eyes only to see your potential buyer pay more for somebody else's stock or nearly stock vehicle. Trust me - I've been there.
Follow this link to see the 86 Camaro that I did for my kid. www.cardomain.com/id/camvette86 (Sorry, he really wanted this car - I'm getting started on an '86 Mustang convertible for my wife now...) Anyway, there are substantial changes to this car, but they are rather subtle. A lot of people who aren't familiar with Camaros can't tell what's been done, even though the only panels that are still stock are the hood and the T-tops. Even so, when he decides to sell it, it might bring less than a bone stock Camaro in equal condition because one buyer won't like the stripes, another won't like the nose, and someone else won't like the hatch. At least he doesn't have thousands of dollars tied up in plastic.

personally, i don't like it, but........the picture not being sized correctly does absolutely NO justice.... That body kit doesn't look like a ricer's body kit, rather, if everypne would look at the sideskirts, and rear bumper, it is actually a rendition of the 99-up saleen body kit. the front bumper also has the saleen touch, only they messed up by leaving the stock 5.0 fog light holes.......they should have made it look EXACTLY like the other kit....... but if you put it on, i'm quite sure you would win some show point, after all, it is a "unique" piece.
Hey .....ugh.. I thought about a word and it is ....."Individuality" It's your car, pimp it. We all can't have the same looking car that's too communist.
LoL, the only thing that is half decent on that mustang is the freakin hood, everything else is way to ricey, look at them side skirts...is this the new LEGO mustang body kit? haha, and another thing I dont understand is why do people put their windows up when they put their convertable down? Wtf when i drop my top the windows always go down, it just defeats the purpose if they are up and not to mention it looks so retarded.
