Default Route KS version 3 body kit

I think I will be the first to have it here in the US. My business partner is exclusive distributor in the US for Kawagen and Route KS and we just dug this kit up from their Japanese website. I can get it on the next US shipment that will arrive sometime in DEC/JAN

Tell me what you think of this kit minus the Tonneau cover and shizzy Wing. I have the Kawagen CF wing already. the car in question will be MY01 Silverstone that may or may not be repainted Moonrock when this lit gets here.




Fire away Let me know honestly what you like and dislike. Be specific please. This is like a 2200.00 kit and do not want to go broke getting something that the US market is not going to like since my car will be in essence, a rolling billboard for our tuner/warehouse shop.

Thanks

The entire kit is too busy for me. It's very Veilside-ish which people on these boards either love or hate. But I would expect you will find that the majority dislike it.

The details on the rear bumper and the side skirts are too obtrusive with no functionality. The front bumper isnt horrible but there are just too many details on it. If they had kept the top vents but smoothed out the lower lip it maybe slightly more attractive but again there is just too much detail with no functionality.

I guess what it comes down to is designing a kit with a purpose. You will see people get excited over new kits from the performance tuners because they are at least slightly designed with increased airflow and drag dynamics in mind.

^^ Exactly what he said.

It is just way too much for me.

I am not a big fan of kits, but if I had to choose one, that would NOT be it.

The front looks like the Kreator kit... which is here on ebay. It's VERY aggressive. I suppose there would be a few people that like it.

No wonder you had to dig it up. Should have left it buried. That's plain awful, but hey if someone wants it, sell it. I could always use a good laugh.
