Help me Choose: Bodykit VS 03+ conversion with lip kit.

Post by deep1ca » Tue Aug 21, 2007 1:36 am

I can't decide between the two. Help me choose.

Versus Motorsports Body Kit.....

VS

03+ Conversion with mopar lip kit.

Image

Image

Image

Image


If I got the 03+ conversion I think I would cut the grill out, to make it look like this....

Image


So what do you guys think? Keep in mind the 03+ conversion would cost me like half the price of the body kit. Body kit for around $800ish on the car, 03+ conversion with lip kit $400ish on the car.

Depending what look you are going for. I personally like the Mopar Lip Kit more. Yet, the versus body kit aint bad.

ugh, that body kit is horrible, sorry for those of you who have it. I would do the lip kit. OR, transform the front into the 02 RT/ACR front with RT sides and 03+ SRT4 rear :thumbsup: THAT is the s3x. :lol:

I typically hate body kits. But I also hate that now EVERYONE seems to have lip kits.

^ naw, if im gonna keep the 02 front id rather just invest in a nice kit.

Im thinkin :
-03 front conversion
-Grill cut out
-Mopar Lip kit
-Carbon Fiber splitter (if theres space)
