both sides weight each other out. with the money u spend on the kit and paintin, you could be doin better things with ur car else where. go look in the appearence forum to get a few ideas before deciding to pick a kit up.
I agree with this whole heartedly. I myself have a buddy club kit (fiberglass) and it's really hard to maintain, especially on a daily driver. Plus buddy club has one of the lowest front ends compared to other bodykits.
So even though it might look good once it's on the car and painted, after a few months, it'll start looking pretty bad with chips and nicks.
I'm not telling you not to get a bodykit, I'm just telling you my personal experience with my car and what I did because I was in the same situation as you are now.
