Body Kits - Like'em or Hate'em?
My car:
I've never been a big fan of body kits. Generally speaking, I've not been a big fan of anything that adds "bulk" to the Mustang...side skirts, fascias, stick-on scoops, louvers, etc. I'm a fan of the clean/smooth look on the new Mustang.
HOWEVER, I keep thinking about what my car would look like if that lower black plastic was replaced with painted parts...from the right body kit. I've looked at a ton of pictures...Stillen, Saleen, Cervinis, etc. I like some of each, but not really the whole package on any of them. I have no aspirations for side scoops, louvers, or a bigger rear wing than what I have...so really just looking at front, sides, and rear. Could possibly be talked into the right hood at some point for a little more aggressive look there.
Aside from the gay sounding name that I would have to get past ("Boy Racer" = WTF?), what do any of you think about the Boy Racer kit from 3D Carbon?

That boy racer kit is kindoff decieving, as the rear will still be the black plastic as the factory one unless you have it sanded down and painted like the pic. Which you can just do to the factory pieces.
Not mine, saw this at MUstang Week. The owner just had the lower pieces sanded and painted.

since you asked......
I hate them. Hideous. Ugly. Overdone. Gawdy.
A car is similar to a woman. A beautiful woman doesn't need a tattoo, a nose piercing, a ring on every finger, an ankle bracelet, gawdy makeup, and a toe ring.
Beauty is found in simplicity. In good lines, a nice stance, and how the car flows.
Flames, body kits, additional vents...all of it just reeks of an ankle bracelet and a ring on every finger.
It's like hearing the dumb guy in the bar yammering about how smart he is. Smart people never have to scream it, because people just know----not because of what they say, but what they don't say.

If everyone felt the same, the aftermarket industry would be in ruin. LOL
I see that you're from KY...where?
