Yeah, he's way too cool for Walmart. :crackup:

Haven't seen a single body kit that I like. I feel like a body kit screams ricer no matter what it's on.

Only thing like a body kit I can say I like are ground effects kits. That's it

I figure the TB SS front bumper for the Envoy would be considered part of a body kit. I do like a lower front valance maybe with a splitter. Discrete rear spoiler is okay. All depends on the car and its use.

Okay, I can make one exception, the Envoy SS bumper.

I was simply saying that not all body kits are bad. I mentioned the Voy-SS bumper. For me, I think if it's a little discreet it's good, though I do think a lot of the Asian cars lend themselves well to some of the more outrageous kits. On my 2000 Galant I had front, rear, and side lower panels; splitters up front; a top of rear window air dam; 17" wheels & tires with the car lowered 1" in front and 3/4" in back. No megatron face or dragster spoilers.

Never thought of an Olsmobile Alero as a sports car let alone worth a body kit and a BIG ASS SPOILER FTW!
Then you haven't spent enough time in the Midwest. All kinds of kids out there trying to pass Aleros off as low-rent Ferraris.

The door guards need to go but other than that I like it.
Yeah, this is certainly one to remove the stripping. And the O. Change the name to Envy.

And the glass antenna needs to go as well.

:squint: Is it me, or does the exhaust pipe angle back towards the trunk? If so, maybe they use it to tie a tether, so people can roller-ski behind it down the road? :confused:

Actually, it's a flapper. The angled part is the hinge. :rotfl: :eek:

?? The exhaust is on the passenger side with a chrome tip. This looks more like some sort of 1 sided bumper protector or maybe part of a bike rack or carrier.

I thought that was a trailer hitch.

You're right. Hard to tell on small screen. So, I'll bet its part of a carrier for bike or something.

Yeah, I mostly see those for bike racks or wheel chair carriers down here. Every once in a while, I'll see one pulling a Uhaul and I just SALTS (to borrow from the :whore: thread :biggrin:) cuz it's usually someone in a Del Sol or something that would be at the bottom of your list of vehicles likely to be seen towing something.
