Stock for Stock : 6GC > 7GC : Not much of being biased... I own both.
With the addition of lips and such. Its hard to say. 6GC = 7GC

Between yours and your brothers....

You > Him..

It depends also.. when we get clearer pics of the 7GC

thanks man. those arent custom fenders though. they are Z3 fenders that are made by VIS for our cars. they look pretty good IMO.

I like your kit alot, but at the bottom it gets too rough. If it stayed smooth itd be a nice kit. Very nice kit and paint though.

..please believe, they will be on the way!! all four projectors will be purchased soon ..but, because the front end is a pain to put on and take off, im going to put on projectors while im doing my 3s swap, so i dont have to take off the front end just to install projectors.
n like i metioned, it really is a pain to take off the front end and to put it back on. it takes me n my brother about 10-15 minutes to take it off (we have to be very careful with it cause of the molding)..im even considering making a cut somewhere on the bumper and add clips to hold it (cause it would make things a whole lot easier)..kinda like this..


..so what yall think, should i do that?? how do you think it would look? n if so, where should i make that cut?

..n sorry guys, but no recent pics of the 7gc.i'll try n take some this week..

my constructive criticism :

1.) lose the very bottom carbon fiber diffuser on the front bumper
2.) downsize the aluminum wing - maybe a TRD in its place?
3.) take off the stickers down the edge of the windshield

.... then i'll b in love - the bodykit is real nice

1.) bumpers too high off the ground without it n it goes along with the orange/carbon fiber theme
2.) its not an aluminum wing- its carbon fiber
3.) honestly, i would love to take off the stickers (just not my fav), but its from my car club, so gotta stay true to them (n plus, they got me a shop sponsorship)

..n thnks for the bodykit comment (since i really hadnt had much feedback on it)..but i really want to kno what yall think bout that clip idea on the side of the bumper..i jus have mixed feelings about the idea.

I love the way the bumper is molded to the fenders. please don't cut it! 10-15 minutes really isn't all that long to remove the front end! it took me a lot longer than that to remove my front bumper and fenders when I put my VIS fenders on! took me a couple hours just to get those bolts holding the fender and bumper together off!

u mean to tell me that your entire spoiler is made of carbon fiber?
i believe the carbon fiber piece that makes up the body of the spoiler is supported and attached to your hatch by something metal - most likely aluminum ... thus - aluminum wing ... thats all i meant
maybe you could cut it's height down a bit - i dont think you need all that massive downforce in the rear

6gc_driven

#20

hmm..point well taken.
well i have been considering lowering it quite a bit, bu dont know how to yet.
ive actually been lookin for some type of drag wing, but havent been able to find one made of carbon fiber that would fit the car..
ive been looking for something like this.


oh, n btw, all that downforce is needed when you have a whopping 100hp tossing you around!! LOL

I dunno, I figured when you said you couldn't find any in carbon fiber that that meant that you could only find them in fiberglass...

as for wrapping, there might be people on this board willing to do it for you.

i like your car better. no offense to your vrother but we got two guys down here in bradenton with 7gens that look way better. one has a real Veilside kit, veilside rims, and veilside exhaust. i think your brothers car is clean though.
