And the kit itself isn't terrible, but if you weren't looking you may not even notice it. Yes, I think kits should be subtle and fit with the original composition of the car, but I think they should cause people to react like this...

"Damn! That's one angry car. Probably fast too. Screw that, I'm leaving him alone!"

This kit doesn't do that for me. Let's see what other companies come up with.
if you want people to say that you should have gotten the 3.5 coupe!!!!!

Im kind of feeling the spoiler. The only one I've seen that I somewhat like is the Stillen one. If this was a little shorter and maybe matched the coupes curves somehow it might be real nice. I like spoilers that overhang a little but it seems like this one goes a little too far. Maybe take an inch off each end so it just overhangs the trunk by a tiny bit.The body kit im not a fan off. Like other people said its too simple and bland. If I put a body kit on its to make my car look angry. I guess this would be for something who wants a body kit but wants to keep the factory look at the same time. We need more spoilers to come out and definitley more body kits!

The side and rear skirts look too much like the Corolla S

I like the fact that it is a bit understated. There is a fine line between looking mean and looking ghey. Bear in mind that this is the sedan, so i am going to guess that the goal was to keep it fairly simple. I'm quite sure that a kit for the coupe would be much more aggressive. That would just make sense.

Did i read that somebody wanted the kit to look mean, so people would think you're fast and stay away? That is the perfect definition of a "ricer" addon. No thanks.

Not really. For the 3rd gen, the chin spoiler and rear trunk lid spoiler didn't have any kind of nismo logo on it.

It's only a ricer addition if you don't have the motor to back it up. We're not talking about throwing a kit on a 92 HP 4 cyl 90's civic, we're talking about a 270 Hp V6. Why not give the body a little more aggression to match what's under the hood? I don't think that's ricer.

I will agree, however, that there is a fine line between 'aggressive' and 'over the top' when it comes to body kits.

Don't be afraid to direct quote me next time instead of saying "somebody", we're both adults.

You're reading more into this than intended. I only said "somebody" because i didn't feel like scrolling up to see who said it. No worries.
