    So, what's the appeal, besides being a fuck boi attention whore? If somebody had a ratty, barely salvageable e30 that's been rotting away for 10 years and wanted to get creative with it, then a kit like this makes sense. But still, $3800 can go a long way toward a proper restoration that will, in the long term, be something to be proud of.

      Like i said if it was just the fender parts and no skirts, spoilers, lips, etc, and didnt have that dumb fender part that goes over the bumpers it would be fine.

          Perfect for a "drift" car, or an attention seeker.
          So in other words, it's typical Rocket Bunny

            I want the spoiler, put the rest in a dumpster. I am guessing however that the spoiler will be retarded expensive.

              Looks way to jdm for a european car. I think a place like liberty walk could make a better kit

                TRA Kyoto, which is Rocket Bunny, makes the kits for Liberty Walk. If you were being sarcastic, sorry and carry on.

                  Yea i know they make the kits but they seem to have a different style. Not so bubbly and ugly imo

                    I guess LB is catered more towards exotics. But I totally agree, they really botched this E30 kit. Sad cus the earlier Rocket Bunny kits seemed to blend better with the car while making them more aggressive looking.

                        You're right on every level. This was like the early 2000s where everyone was slapping on wide body and "shogun" kits to everything possible. I remember looking on nopi.com and figuring out what the appeal was.

                        Always enjoyed the fact that the kits cost >3k and thats without the labor and materials of install at to which point you could have just purchased a nicer car. As I just saw from a stand up special regarding picking a girl up on a date "if it's lowered, has lights underneath, and a body kit on it order whatever you'd like because Mom got the check on this one"



                        But for all those who like this thing, here is the perfect candidate:

                          I like it... not perfectly but I do like it. It needs a monster engine to go with it, cant be cruising around with your stock m20/m42.

                              Looks like someone was going for the 2002 group 2 look.
