What do you Guys think of the NEW Jacquemond Wide body kit??

Post by **Sky240PWR** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 12:25 pm

It's got a differn't front and back bumper.....well atleast it doesn't look like a miata anymore!!...I love it

Post by **Sky240PWR** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 12:26 pm

here's the back

Not I said the fly. It's so... extravagant... so... outlandish. Not exactly rice but not something I would even consider driving.

Huge fender flares would look better and probably be less work. They probably work better too from an aerodynamic stand point. I say that because I don't see many, if any, touring cars using a setup resembling the Jacquemond kit.

I never had a problem with the jacquemond kit, but, like my idiot (only 2 of them) friends say about basically all sport compact cars...:it looks like a spaceship.

I'd still drive it if it had a turbo though.

Edit: My lil bro just pointed out that it ;ooks like a corvette....pop up lights...quad round taillights...

by jove, I think he's right!

i like the front bumper and tail. its the sides that are too much for me

Post by **Chingon** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 3:07 pm

yep, an mr or twin engine s13 would benefit from that.

Post by **wild_maxx** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 3:55 pm

are those storage compartments on the sides? looks like you could pack a cooler or something in there and head out to the beach.

Post by **SmithSR** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 4:11 pm

I do not approve.

Post by **Rosco** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 4:31 pm

Wow that is hideous....I wouldn't drive that thing even if it were powered by a rb series engine....I wanna throw up...functionality is more important than looks to me...

needs wider lower offset rims

Post by **Bruno240** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 5:58 pm

i like it. from the rear it looks kinda like a ferrari. It looks clean.

Post by **yessir240** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 6:05 pm

i think it looks like ****.... to be blunt sorry

Post by **cyrus240sx** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 6:44 pm

yes i agree with yessir 240, its hideous..... the rear does not need to be that big

Post by **zippitta** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 7:11 pm

I dont exactly like it, but that is mainly due to the fact that i do not like widebody kits. On the other hand though, from the pics, it does look very clean and well done.

Post by **S13240** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 7:18 pm

I like the kit in general, but the front end should be a little more stylish like an MR2 Bomex kit and the rear should just be stock tail lights or the kouki tails.

Post by **sil beer s13** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 7:24 pm

thats is the ugliest pile of **** if ever seen and ive been on safari

I do have better rims for it. I'm going to paint my car Mercedes-Benz silver, I think it will go well with the color of my rims.......here's a pick of my rims(the ones on the red car)...this is their old body kit(all they did is change the front and back bumpers for the new one)

I just bought some R33 tails to put in place of the ones they gave me,(just using the round part of the R33 not the whole thing)the R33 tails are alittle bigger then those so i'll have to modify it alittle to stick them in but not too much. I think they'll look nice!I know how most of you feel about swapping lights but I'll like it and thats what counts!

we'll see just how hideous when I'm done with it!!...I'll show the girls and see what they think and then I'll show you and ask you what you think but whos option do you think will matter the most?? and yes it does have a RB that makes 320 whp and by the time the body is done it will make 500whp!!......and why isn't it functional.....my side vents will cool my brakes and the front bumper will allow enough air to my motor,FMIC, and radiator, and the back has a rear diffuser!!it's sexy to me!!!

not really. theres a lot of ugly jdm big backing wide body kits that look like poo also. the lines on that kit just aren't sharp enough. if you like it fine but were just giving you our opinion. by the looks of the kit it doesn't look like it was done with cad. the lines aren't very smooth but not my car i'd cry though if it was

what's cad?

I think it's funny that you asked for people's opinions and when you got them, you criticized them.

I think it's fugly. And no, I wouldn't like it better if it was some JDM company making it. That widebody kit throws off all the lines on the S13. It's still an ugly kit. UGLY.

Also, CAD = computer assisted design. What Juujai means, and what I'm inclined to agree with, is that it looks like the designer eyeballed it.

Did I mention that I think it's ugly?

looks like an old mr2
