problem with bodykits is that desides a heavy pricetag, is that they're mostely designed to look good and perhaps help aero, but it's quite a gamble... after laying out all that money it would hurt to see your fe go down.

if you're a little bit handy and you want good looking functional mods, invest in some quality materials. some things like plastic gutters of sheet plastic can be obtained

if your shooting for functional mods it doesn't matter that they're very eye catching so if your worried about looks, a lot of things like airdams and sideskirts can be build in a discrete finish so that you won't notice them at a casual glance,
if you paint them in a flat of satin black that matches the plastic on the car things will look pretty stock. a lot of people here see their mods as an ongoing experiment, but things that have proven to work are sometimes rebuild in stunning quality, wich from the picture i've seen look almost factory installed.
