        Transitions between front/rear bumper are not aesthetic.

          I LOVE this thing. I love overfenders, I love ducktails. Whats not to love? The $3800 pricetag...

            Not really my style, but I think it looks aggressive in a good way. But then again, so is any E30 dropped unrealistically low. How high off the ground is that stock rear valence? Good luck trying to drive that thing static. I'm not even gonna make jokes on a 'vert being used for the initial demo, everyone who rocks this is going to need bags anyway or it is going to look stupid, I wouldn't be expecting to see this on actual performance-oriented cars unless they are VERY high end builds.

            And yeah, $3800 is insane, but if its mere existence brings more fanboys into this E30s and helps my car appreciate, I'm ok with that.

            Its a sweet rendering, but to me doesn't represent reality.

              From the rendering that shit that wraps over the bumpers is part of the over fenders, not separate. Thats what I'm talking about mostly, and those would have to be cut off.

                I'm pretty sure you can just buy a set of m3 fenders/quarters/sideskirts cheaper.

                this doesn't do anything for me. i assume its fiberglass? 3.8k for a lot of plastic......

                i'll leave this to nando's hipsters.

                    Hmmm. Now-a-days it might be a close call. No?

                    Who was that guy that made flared fenders by draping went fiberglass cloth over the stock fenders?(it looked doable) IIRC is was a race car build.

                      Last time I saw a C pillar pop up it was $2k+ Add on front and rear fenders, plus bumpers I'm sure you're over $3,800.... but you'd have a M3 clone so thats a plus.

                        $3800 and you have to drill holes in nearly every panel of the car so totally destroying them all in the process.

                        the lines/styling of the kit are pretty good, seems great for a purpose-built race car.

                        is the duck tail spoiler actually wind tested to make it purposeful?

                          It surely isn't. But, I don't think it's fair to consider that a problem. I don't think tra kyoto has ever spun these kits off as being optimized for race use. They're made for looks and they're pretty unapologetic about it.

                                $3800 for a bunch of plastic/fiberglass? And it ruins your car in the process? Haha
