Allright, I put a few shots of the rear pieces onto the web. I was planning on getting the Xenon pieces in the front, left and right sides. I'm debating on getting the Xenon or WingsWest rear piece. Check out the pics and gimme some feedback on which you all think looks better for the rear, the Xenon or WingsWest.

Personally, I am not fond of body kits at all. I really don't like either wing in the pictures. I guess I am a little old and conservative! But, whatever you decide on is great. As long as you like it that all that matter. Enjoy!

I like the xenon the best.

Just me but definitely neither...can you say overgrown Honda look? Sorry, no flame intended, just my .02.

I would stick with the stock rear pieces. The stock spoiler looks much better than those wings!

I don't care for any of the pieces, but everyone shows their individuality by making their car the way they want. It's ultimately up to you what you like best.

Allright, I think you missed my intent. I was asking about the body kits, that does not include the wings. I'm refering to the REAR piece, the one near the ground.

I had the Wings West body kit on my old 94 V6 Camaro, and my overall opinion was that I didnt like them. The parts were installed by the techs at Wings West themselves, but they still seemed to fall off the car. Just bolting and taping urethane to urethane doesn't hold that well at all. Although the agressive look they gave off was awesome, it was a serious pain to worry about ground clearance. EVERYTHING scrapes, and in the end the body kit looks like a messed up rice rocket.

Back to your question though, I think the Xenon rear kit looks better on the car, but the front kit I'd definitely go with the Wings West piece. Though I like the idea that the Xenon front piece is all one integrated piece, it just looks nasty. So Xenon rear, Wings West rear, and the sides... well either seems to work well. Have fun!

OK revised opinion...leave the front alone and add the lower treatment that comes with the CME if anything. These cars are beautiful, with few exceptions, less is more.
