Don't personally like it but I'm sure someone will. Have you noticed how they have put a cross member in there to keep the lip from flexing? Also what's the two thingies attached to the lip? To keep it from falling off? lols.

the owner is on the site, his name is Henri Huynh I think thats how its spelt, those bars in front of the intercooler were put there by the dudes that made the kit and its just show, it doesnt do anything in particular as far as I know just is there for show
minus the bars in the front bumper, covering the fmic and the stickers on the front windshield..i dont mind it...bit too attractive for my likings tho..

whaa!! didnt know everyone was affraid of something different just thought id try something new from the bomex or vertex kits... ok to answer a few wondering minds, those two spindles are actually holding up the bottom lip of the kit.. the kit comes with a two piece front end.. so there IS a purpose for it. as for the cross members, they DO NOT reduce air flow, if you think about it, most of you guys have your cooler hidden behind your standard front end, after running a few test (with "bently autos"), i was told that the cross members did not reduce my performance whatsoever and would not come into play unless i was chasing 10's (if u look at it carefully, there are space inbetween to pass through air) they were put there by "fibre vision" and the idea was to go for modified bodykit award at the show. (its a supra front, supra sides and gtr rear, and the cross members were there for attraction without performance loss) as for the "fibre vision" sticker on the window, thats there because of sponsorship agreements, aswell as the sides decals which were also provided by the other sponsor. (decals and graphics are on the car for promotional purpose from the sponsors, so im not trying to be "ricey") originally it did have bigger rims, which were stolen from my garage (was still in the box) a few days before the show and was a major set back, so i had to keep the old rims on.
as people say, its all about personal preference, there are many more cars out there doing the same thing i have, so am i getting singled out cause its a soarer?
so it might be "ricey" for on the road use, but is it "ricey" for a car show? cause thats all its used for... keep in mind its NOT a daily driven car, or a street car at that.

Henri, you had some good pics on TIF, how about posting a link or putting the pics here so people can get a decent look? That one pic doesn't really do it justice.
Yes Henri, you're singled out because it's a Soarer and you're right - there are a lot worse out there (Soarer's as well). Style is a personal preference and now that we know why, it's a lot better. You sort of have to go a bit ott when it's a show car.
