Not for me, but I'm kind of an old poop. I like the factory look with a bit more wheel and tire.

I'm liking the grill, not sure on the "eye brows" the 240 guys have something like that for the S14.

Looks like a low rider snow plow. Would never be drivable on any of the American city streets I see everyday.

Some of the other kits for the Q are much moer attractive.

I'm not a fan of ANY kit that does away with the original 90-93 nose...

It makes the wheel wells look a little too big. I have a preference for the Elvis-Pelvis belt buckle over the chrome grill, and I guess if you got parking sensors on the front it might work out. :)

The eye brow/lash thing is NOT happening. As far as the body kit... I don't know. It doesn't flow well at all. It DOES look like somebody just screwed it on. The only body kits I find attractive are the ones that look like they came with the car.They are usually very small in "bulk" and very understated.Kind of like the 2003, 2004 AMG E55 Benz. So for our beloved G50 the ONLY one I'd consider is the IMPUL one.

^ I agree. That kit is way too boxy, and takes a 90's car back to the 80's.

Reminds me of the early Erebuni kits for the Ford Probe that TRIED to look like a Testarossa (LOL).

Here's a good reason

Shall I post up a volvo and the 94+ grill that look exactly the same?

The grill on the 94+ is about as default as the emblem on the 90-93.. Neither are drastic style statements, and both can be compared with other vehicles of their time.

I really only like the IMPUL kit as well...

I hate these kits that have huge arches and boxy like ground effects.. I dislike kits that don't look clean, and flow with the lines of the car

I don't argue the "blandness" of the 94+ grill, my post was in response to why change and I think regardless of 90-93 or 94-96 there is room for improvement in some people's opinions.

(also, I was trying to get a rise outta AZ, the guy, not the state :D)
