My two cents:

I prefer the original VR-4 look, clean, classic, appropiated. Super VR-4, a bit too much, but still original JDM; the Cyber 2, looks like its for a Honda, if not done right, looks like a disaster on wheels. Again, this is my opinion.

Super VR4 is winning. The VR4 is great too but that cyber kit isnt doing it for me. I dont mean to hurt your feelings but it screams I just got my car or something a kid high school would do.

All in all, its what makes you happy. Im sure people can argue for any one of those that they look the best, its what you would want to drive/see everyday is whats important.

No offense dude, but your old car looked terrible, the F1 fenders really did it in, now if you executed the Cyber kit the way Proto did on HIS car, it would actually look good. Personally, I'd go with one of the VR4s though

focus on lowering your car, then wheels, then body kits. perfect order because if you have a kit with stock height, it looks tacky to me.

actually, how much are you willing to spend? in other posts you sound very budget conscious so the reason i ask is your choices are all across the board price wise. the CYBER 2 (INITIAL V) bumper is the cheapest option since it is the most available. the SUPER VR4 is at the other end of the spectrum being the most rare. the facelift VR4 front end is still pricey considering it is imported and the fogs can be as much or more expensive than the bumper itself.

also a full color change paint job (jambs, doors, hood and trunk) will cost as much as your car. mine was around $4000 and that was only going from one shade of silver to another shade of silver.

do things one thing at a time. Ive been modding my car for over 2 years and all i have is suspension + wheels pretty much, but it looks good. if you take the time to do things right then it will come out good. if you rush through mods and buy cheap products it will look cheap.

Bob, at the end, is your ride, you should decide what you like or not, BUT, it is important, that whatever you decide, save, get the budget to tacke the project the right way; and as others had already told, do one thing at a time, that way, your ride will be evolving in a logic, and nice looking way, no matter your style. If I were you, I would start with the rims, then suspension, then body, then accesories, like hid, etc. The same goes for the interiors. Always helps to plan in advance.

then that statement above holds true.....And, that's my opinion /

I absolutely agree with all of you guys. Yea, But for the record, The way the old 8G looked was due to prior Frame damage... Radiator support damage.. and Headlights being duct taped to stay... Basically i threw everything together jus so the G would be able to show up at the meet... horrible first impression.. absolutely... but in the end I basically ended up working with what I had. But before she died she didn't look too bad now...

=/

Now as far as budgeting... everything is in the works, but as everyone here is saying, I'm not gonna rush and take the cheapest way out. I'm Building a "Purchase LIst" and doing everything Right. I made this thread to get a general Idea of what the communtiy thought of each body type. If I were to get the Cyber two.. I would basically do a Proto clone.. That thing is gorgeous...

and to the honda statement.. hell naww.. lol...

I'm starting to think the Suber Vr4 Would Be a decent route.. I'm Thinking White, and the extension would be painted Black.. But I'd be painting the whole bumper as one.. Not the bumper then the extensions.. To me there is no reason to really do that...


But yea.. thanks for the input guys... keep em rolling in.. .drop some picks of your 8G with body work.. Maybe I'll get inspired, along with the other members.

Idk.. i kinda dug the F1's ... i mean i'm pretty sure i'm staying stock now... but there weren't that bad..

Thats a lot.. 4000 bucks , I was unaware thats how much shops charge. I bought the car for 400 bucks. haha.. I was going to paint myself. I helped a friend paint my friends mustang came out pretty good...

And No... We did not paint it in there... we were welding the flowmasters on

Everyone have their own thing, I always thought that the cyber 2 front look a bit to aggressive for our cars so I did a lip instead. On the contrary, I still like the cyber rear and felt it wasnt to aggressive. So it is really how you want your car to look for you.

cyber kit is definitely not my type its more of a ricer look for me...if you pick the super vr4 or the old style vr4 front end and planning to get the extensions it may get a lil pricey. plus you might not be able to find the super vr4 side and rear kit if thats the look youre looking for...like what reelax said they are very rare! new style vr4 look socal is selling the whole kit( from front, side and rear)

it all depends on you, and definitely you have know how much are you willing to spend cuz once you put a which ever kit you like, you are most likely or HAVE TO drop your car to make it all flow together which will cost another $$$.

Old style or new style Vr4 always looks nice, super vr4 can come out a bit messy if not done right...just take a look around and see what you like best. just dont rush into anything, take your time gather parts, once ready take your time installing. remember its how you see your car and if you like it, awesome, if other people dont then o well.

just wanna share.. the super vr4 and the dolphin aeroform sits alot lower than you'd think.. therefore not letting you lower your car to what you want..

got a friend who's got the genuine super vr4 and is definitely even on stock height..

Never really liked the cyber kit much. There was one member here with a blue paint job who did that kit with a liberal grille that I liked. But most others looked ricer to me. Alot of people are going JDM, if you want to do something different, get a World Spec bumper, or modify the USDM bumper with a lip. If you dont have alot of money to spend, then dont bother getting into bodykits or JDM parts. Like every1 else has said start slow and evolve from there. Wheels and suspension are the best starters, so start there.

Yea, I THing I'm just gonna get lowering Springs, and Paint my stock rims Semi Flat Black For Now With A white or red lip.. And then look for a body kit and then possibly change rims.. I was considering.. Super VR4 Front Bumper, Cyrber 2 Sides, and SUper VR4 rear extension with the Super VR4 replica Spoiler. and those headlights that were modified look outstanding.. where'd u buy those rings.. damn..

and yea lots of hate on the cyber 2 lmao... didn't see that coming... THe dolphin is cool.. put its too round for my taste... i like definity... i like the super vr4 because it has that simplicity / but it hast that addon look that makes it aggressive...

I might keep stock hood . but i had a monster hood and i kinda loved it.. not sure how it would look on a car with the supervr4 kit on it

Someone in the FS section has a set of heads just like those for sale. If your gonna do the Super VR4 front & rear, I dont think cyber sides would look good with that either. Just do the Super VR4 sides as well, it'll look much better. As far as the hood, it could look right. Ask someone in the photoshop showoff to do a pic for you...

IMO the super VR4 looks best. Cyber is not bad at all, but i love the original lines of the Galant, and i think the super VR4 shows that best. Original PFL VR4 also looks amazing :)

Dolphin Aeroform is too round? I think that's about as square as you can get lol
