Default New body kit for the 97-02 Escort Sedan

I like it, it's not REAL ricey and gives the car a much more agressive look. It's still a family car though!

I should be a sales rep for that company:

Now you don't have to own a Honda if you want to make your car heavier, slower and uglier. Andy's Autosport brings you the same nasty, tacked on ground effects available for most Civics, Accords and Preludes. Yes, the new Wombat Battle Creek Type 5Z can be yours. Available in crack happy fiberglass or drooping urithane. Please specify when ordering.

That looks neither aggressive nor like a family car. You must really hate your family if you put them in that. Riced out rolling death trap. But hey, to each their I spose.

Look at a stock Escort, then look at that. It's much more aesthetically pleasing. The other bonus is for people that are going with forced induction. The front bumper assembly is made for an intercooler to be shoved down there as well. Unfortunately my car doesn't come decent looking and agressive, like you guys' cars because Ford don't give a rats ass about the Escort, never have, never will. "Solo mata me", what else would you suggest using besides fiberglass or urethane? Most late model cars bumper assemblies are made from one or the other or a mix of fiberglass and some other material. The added weight on this kit? MAYBE 20 pounds. The added weight of a stupid arse stereo system in your car, rounding in the 75 lb mark. The added weight of most people over the weight of me? probably 25+ pounds, esp you beer drinkers . Do you have a front fascia on your CRX? Don't mock a body kit if you have something similar lol. Making it a rolling death trap? How so when it uses the stock bumper supports. You just take your bumper skins off and put these ones on. REAL dangerous *sighs* They also carry kits for almost all domestics, trucks and cars alike. I may end up getting a buy in from the company and selling them locally. I'm probably not going to buy it for the simple fact that if I put a kit on my car like that I might as well forget about ever getting any respect from the domestic comunity. Yet they can put a kit on their mustang to make it look more agressive and that's fine. It's like a double standard lol. Oh well, glad you enjoyed picking on it.

The body on my CRX is bone stock and the car crashes very well, thanks. 99.9% of the time, the stock lines of the car are the best and most asthetically pleasing. Why ruin the smooth and fluid lines of the car with all those fake scoops and goofy angles?

Oh well, just get the kit, hook it up with some neons, obtain the LED washer nozzles, roll on 18" ICW's and enjoy the view of my taillights as I put Raymond James Stadium lengths on you just for shits and giggles at 1/4 throttle.
