Ricing out my beater... cast your vote!

[TC535i]

So, I get an email from Bill, the owner of www.kia-fx.com ("THE" tuner company for Kias) He's finishing up development of 2 body kits, and needs a car in SoCal to do the final test-fitting on. Lend the shop the car for 3 days, and he'll give me a kit for free!

So... cast your votes! RSR style (red), or Skyline R34 kit (blue)? Please remember this is a daily driver beater, so I actually have to drive this thing around... But I think a pair of LED M3 mirrors may be in order. :D

If I get the R34 kit... I think I may be forced to slap this bad boy on...

Flip a coin. (NT)

Hey, that is not cool, my wife's filipino. Paint either car gold, & you'd get anything ya want, in Manilla. For those not aware, 'flip' can be taken as an insult by some particularly uptight filipinos.

Blue one is supposed to be R34 style (Skyline R34)

That's the idea. :)

Not a car I'm particularly concerned about "ruining", seeing as I bought it for $1200, and the kit would be free.

Why the hell not, I say...

[bahnstormer]

send me some of your crack!
it must be gooood stuff =]

[Martin in Bellevue]

I married a flip. :)

It's like choosing which poison to drink. Uhhh...the blue one I guess...I mean the red one...No the blue one...well uhh...

[stridenEVOe30]

That R34 kit looks aggressive...wat else can i say. Be Aggressive Be Be Aggressive, baby.

I dunno about it looking like an R34, looks more like the guy in the white shirt in the background if you ask me...

unsightly, and buldging in the front

[ryan roopnarine]

agree with winfred. blue obfuscates what it is more, kinda looks like a wrx. the red looks like a stock hyundai accent :D imagine that, upgrading your kia to a hyundai.

....keeping in mind I'm a 40+ guy in a PT Cruiser...."DUDE?? Can ya get HBO with that thing????" It almost never fails to get me a single-finger salute! :p

Go with the blue. It lends itself to a much larger range of interior carpet colors, such as neon green, purple, white, maybe even hot pink.

Reminds me of Monty Python....."What's your favorite color?"...."Pink"....."No, Blue".....Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!

Tim, you really didn't expect anything less from us did you? Besides, you have brought shame on the community even posting that picture....=)

ED CAN YOU KILL THIS THREAD???....ha,ha,ha

Jr =) (The red one has less screen wire in the front)

The RSR - definitely, it's more, um, subtle?

Reminds me of a great line from the Stephen King book "Christine."

"Ya cain't polish a turd."

But if it's free, what the heck.

Wait, they made a book from the movie? Why would they do that?! ;)

I'm thinkin RSR... I like the Audi look, definitely less "rice" than the Skyline kit.

That was my thought on first glance, go for the German S4 look rather than Nissan.

Not sure why but it seems "better" that a Korean car look German rather than Japanese.

I voted RSR... that ish is hot.
