Unless your car is FI and has some serious power to it, I don't think that a kit that "extreme" is a very good idea

As long as you drop it and put some 20s on there with a good exhaust you should be good. Its a very nice kit in my opinion if the have the money to spend on it.

Is a rear view camera really worth destroying what little continuity the back has left?

I have the ks kit & it flows with the car perfectly. If you want to mix it up a bit, chop out the top portion of the bumper so you can mount the oem grill ...which painted black would look tight! BTW you get what you pay for...shop around & get the original kit. My body guy said the parts were dead on & needed no modification. Spend a bit more in the front end & you will save money at the bodyshop.

I think the first person to do this combo will get major props... everyone is so into copying **** around here, once someone breaks into something new it spreads like wildfire...
That's one fine ***.

Kenstyle is a great kit..I've had it for about 2 and a half years..I do think it needs some serious mods though. I've got volks dropped ap breaks supercharger cf hood etc. and it looks awesome. Kind of an extreme kit to have if you are somewhat stock but in my opinion it is one of the best kits out there. Very hard to work with though. Some ****er backed up into my front bumper while it was parked on my street. They just left the scene without leaving a note so now im stuck with it. The center of the bumper is cracked and a lot of shops will not even work on it considering the material so now what? It's definitely an expensive fix.

The KS rear is one of the ugliest bumpers I've ever seen for any car. Please don't do it!
