Well? If you went with a more subtle wing, remove the ex-Jeep Wrangler round fog lights, lose the graphics and big "Saturn" names, I think it looks kinda nice.

Post by **lessthanjakejohn** » Sat May 10, 2003 5:34 am

i like it, but if you were going to get a wing how about a 240sx one

there is also a spec H or h spec

that I think looks better. I can't find it right now

sick.

Post by **Repo Man** » Sat May 10, 2003 5:34 am

I think that is a good looking body kit for that car, aside from the wing obviously. The wheels work well with it too.

Respectable kit. Bumper might be a little much for a Saturn, but thats like 1 of 2 kits I've ever seen anyways.-Kevin

Not a bad front bumper and side skirts...I have some...issues...with the back bumper and the funkiness it has going on, and I dont like the brake duct right before the back wheels either. I agree the wing needs to go. On the whole though, its one of the nicer, more sedated bodykits I've seen and it is 90% cool with me

If I was forced to drive a Saturn, that would be my choice! I like that wing with that car for some unknown reason, lol!

Maybe its the small bit of "Rice" I have in me!!

JK!

Post by **yeswepromise** » Sat May 10, 2003 5:34 am

in my opinion the body kit looks alright but the wing would have to go.

Post by **lessthanjakejohn** » Sat May 10, 2003 5:34 am

no fog lights

Nice clean body kit, would be interesting to see a before and after (minus the wing). Good luck.

Post by **jEzTeR** » Sat May 10, 2003 5:34 am

I think that the kit is very clean!Im not big on body kits but if they are smooth and not too extream than they work.Im also not a big fan of Saturn's but like I said that one looks clean.I say go for it w/o the wing.

Post by **SeVa-S13** » Sat May 10, 2003 5:34 am

Yeah, gank the adhesive hp additives off and give the wing back to a Supra and I think it'll be lookin rather nice. I, too have a little bit of an issue with the rear bumper bit but to each his own. Good luck.

P.S. - Oh yeah, rip those fog lights off! :pface

it actually looks pretty decent, it kinda looks like the eclipse from the side, nice to see you didn't get flamed

Saturn > Ford Probe

Post by **cnichols** » Sat May 10, 2003 5:34 am

i'm with rubin on this one. something about that wing i kinda like. but yea, before i found nico i was going to end up being a ricer. i guess there is still a little bit in me. this is 95silviase, not cbichols by the way.

Post by **MainEvent212** » Sat May 10, 2003 5:34 am

i think he was just referring to the kit (which is nice imo)

why dont u guys read more? lol

the rear bumper looks like a speed bump issue...as well as any sort of dip in the road...maybe a different rear bumper? if anyone else makes one lol

Post by **nissanrcer240** » Sat May 10, 2003 5:34 am

i think the kit looks good, the rear bumper doesnt look that bad(compared to some)imo

Post by **MaineExport** » Sat May 10, 2003 5:34 am

Hmmm.... I REALLY hate the styling of ALL Saturns. I think they are quite possibly the ugliest domestic cars made with the exception of the Neon. I think they look like nice street ramps for bikes, inline skates, skateboards, etc.... etc.

That being said... that body kit looks great. It totally cleans up the ugly stock lines... it wraps the car up nicely and makes it look.... well........ good!

I like it a lot. I can't believe somebody ACTUALLY made ANY Saturn look good. If I were you and I owned a Saturn (thank you God for not letting me be him), I'd get that bad boy on your car with ALL SPEED!!! Seriously... it looks very nice, even with the wing. I don't ever want to see a wing on my car.. but that one would look good on yours. The wheels too.

Post by **fiznat** » Sat May 10, 2003 5:34 am

yeah man, as long as you realise it's still a saturn underneath.

I'm not really hating or whatever, I've been driving a 93 SL1 (strip down base model with ZERO options) for almost 5 years now. Its horrible in just about every way possible (except gas mileage).

I concur with Maine....Gee, what else is new... :rolleyes

lol i also drive a 93 sl1. except mine has a sunroof that doesn't work, power locks that don't work, and power windows that work for the time being. i hate it but it's all i have for now. the only thing i like about it is it is 5 speed. i don't think i could drive it if it had a slushbox.

Looks sweet bro, I actually like the wing....But whatever.

well , like you say loose the wing , the graphics look like something off a bad movie i saw once (was it fast and the flatuance?)

the rear bumper would never stand a chance of being proper us spec for 5mph standards but it looks good like the rest of the kit outside the foglights makes the old starun look smoother , watch its engine tho , they like to burn the rings up , saturn spent from 1986 designing the engine for that car and never did get the rings right , early engines were placed in chevy specturms as at the time saturn didnt have any prototype cars to mess with

i'm not sure. after doing some checking around, i've sadly discovered that the kit is custom made, and it won't be reproduced. the guy who did it helped another shop come up with another kit. it has the same style side skirts and rear bumper, but the front bumper is not the same. it's alot like most of the shogun style crap that you see on hondas, and believe me, it's ugly enough not to post a picture of it here.

they are in the process of creating another kit. it's supposed to be more on the lines of the one pictured above. i hope so. this one is just what i've been looking for, something mild yet slightly aggressive.

the car i bought is a 95 SC2 and it is in immaculate condition. it's fully loaded (sunroof, leather, and power everthing) with 56K granny driven miles. i can easily sell it for more than the $2800 i paid, but there's only one problem...

i'm starting to like it.

even though there are several turbo and supercharger kits for it (believe it or not), i'm probably gonna be more show than go. i just can't see myself driving a high horsepower saturn.

oh, and as far as the rings go...some old school know how and a little marvel mystery oil solved that problem.
