    K-Break body kit

    While it's still a little busy, it looks pretty good and has similar elements that tie it all together (i.e. the metal (?) inserts in the vents and diffuser).

    I wonder if the diffuser is functional or just decorative. Probably just decorative, I would be surprised if any of these companies do any actual wind tunnel testing.

    Bit too busy for my tastes.

    Also, is he ever going to be mad when he finds out someone stole his suspension!

    Looks cool, but would last about five minutes in Edmonton before it wrecked on a pothole

    It's like they clipped the wings of a bird, poor Micra.

    In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

    I gotta agree, I don't like the suspension dropped like that. I know lots of people like the 'as low as you can go', but its not for me.

    I do like the side skirts on the kit. They're simple with a little flare.

    I don't get the need to customize a 4 door car.

    So, only 2 door cars are worthy of being customized? I say if its yours, and you want to make it different, make it yours, go for it.

    I don't get the need to drive around huge SUVs as a commuter car, but its wildly popular.

    Insurance rates are generally lower on 4 door cars and higher on 2 door cars. Giving more money to the crooks who run the insurance companies is not cool.
