Ok, here's my tap. Rice basically is a car with all show and no go. If you took a Lamborgini Diablo and dropped in a 4-banger, then it's rice. (This holds true to 4-banger mustangs, they are rice IMO).

So this body-kit is rice. It simply masks the fact that you still own a crappy Honda Civic or CRX with a crappy 4-banger, and it costs about as much as a really nice used 87-93 Cobra or GT (for both car and kit). Why not buy the REAL performance car instead of this ricey shell.

However, if the user has the power under the hood to back up his racy looks, then that's just great. If it looks like a sports car then it should perform like one, that's my opinion. It just seems like a lot of money to be spending on the cosmetic factor.

Oh, and #1 Pony, a slow CRX with one of these kits is still a slow CRX (but admittedly good looking)
