Thumbs up Possible exterior mods

I am interested in doing some more exterior mods to my S. The problem is there isn't one manufacturer out there who makes a complete body kit that I actually like. So, I am thinking about the following:

Amuse R1 front bumper:


J's Racing rear bumper:


Mugen rear wing:


Although I would prefer to not have a "frankenstein", I do like these various parts--I am just not sure if they would look good together.

Thoughts?

The car you posed with the J's bumper has the mugen wing already...looks pretty good.

The rear looks a bit agressive for the R1.

Think of it this way, no one is going to be able to see the front and rear at the same time. Go for it.

although the amuse bumper looks clean, it is not a wild looking part. It looks like a modified AP2 bumper. I think that the J's rear will rhyme with the Mugen Wing. Actually, the car with the J's rear already has the Mugen Wing so you can actually see that it does look good. Get the J's front and you'll be OK

Others have had success combining parts from various kits.

Do your own thing, and be happy with it.

I hear ya. The problem is some aero kits have certain lines that carry from the front bumper, to the side skirts and to the rear bumper. I don't think the R1 front bumper would be a problem because it doesn't have any aggressive lines. Some simple side skirts would probably work. It is the rear bumper that I am more concerned with--it looks like the J's rear bumper has a flared lip. So long as it does not extend to the side of the car I think it would be ok.
