I don't think the pictures do the kit justice.

I'm sure if I saw it in real life, or some "real pictures" the kit would look hard.

the sides and the rear look terrible. i agree, it looks ricey.

the front isn't great, but with some changes in the design, i think it could look pretty decent.

overall, i think it sucks. sorry.

Rice it is! The only thing I like is the dual exhaust. Hey, but "to each his own." Go for it if you like it.

Do what ever floats your boat. But IMO that kit doesn't flow well with the e90's lines. The vents on the side skirt and rear bumper srceam "look at me, I'm a modded civic"

the front is okay, but the rest of the kit is "eh". I don't think anyone should ever install a tacked on rear bumper piece! Hamann, Rieger doesn't matter it looks tacky as all hell, the only way you can get away with it is if you have a black car. Otherwise it's highly noticable and gross.

A one piece kit (whole bumper replacement) is the only way to go for the rear IMO. unfortunately not many companies produce them.

Kerscher makes a one piece thats even PDC compatible, it's not very agressive but it'll go with most kits if you don't mind mix and match

I won't do it myself, but having said that, it looks not that bad at all.

It just... scream so laudly: "look at me! I'm wannabe racer" So, if that want you want, I would say go for that.

Too much mesh. The rear lip and dual exhaust is nice, but the rest doesn't suit the car.

Not my cup of tea, too many ducts and sharp angles.

The side skirts are jutting out and annoying with the decals and unncessary vents. The back is way too busy and ruins the tucked in look; it looks like it's missing a piece to complete the bottom part. I feel like I could grab the bottom and rip that junk off.
