I was not in favor of wings or body kits on almost any car, especially a C4... that was until I bought my car! Still not sure exactly who or which company produced it....I've heard a suggestion of "5th Avenue" but apparently they're out of business now??

MAN ALIVE! THIS PICTURE REALLY SHOWS THAT I NEED TO LOWER MY FRONT END!!!!!!

that's right, kits are for kids and it's one of those tasteless cheesy gay "80's things" that thankfully went out by the wayside like puss-*** hairbands.

That is why you have YOUR car and I have MINE. U don't like 'em, don't put 'em on. We all have opinions, and that's great!! There's a difference between having an opinion and being opinionated.

everyone has there own opinions. I personally like mine and find it looks nicer with the kit, and im not the only one who thinks that. not everyone has to be a kid or cheesy.

this has to be one of the nicest kits that I have seen. But option aside, it's a kit that is manufactored from a vendor over seas. follow the links within the thread. I guess they are a small time company that doesn't do a lot (any) international sales. The threaded feel short once a few of the guys realized that shipping would have cost more than the part itself.

here is a front end made by toledopro, although i think it's overpriced, it looks pretty good on a C4.

I always thought the C4 looked best without any body kit or wing.

Not a big fan of the body kits, but I like my sidepipes and rear spoiler. Unfortunately the side pipes will be coming off next week.

Interesting enough this was the Dolly Varden straight about 30 miles west of Wendover at appox. the same altitude as the salt. This is also on pavement which has somewhere 25-30% less rolling resistance. I have a buddy offically radar clocked at 227mph and said he saw 232mph once again on pavement. He has 850rwhp. Now I will grant you that my wing will cost me some top speed, my buddy also has the same wing on his. Once again I am not trying to discourage you, but passing on info from some one who has been in simular shoes.

As usual, someone is not reading the question. He didn't ask what body kits are out there; he asked if there were any good body kits out there. Answering the question with a no is a valid answer to the OP's question. Answering the question the way you percieved it would NOT be answering the OP's question. If anyone here has had an overreaction, I suggest you look in the mirror.
