I have mixed feeling about my body kit, It was on the car when I bought it in 07 and really liked it at first but now... I just don't know, what do you guys think?

I hate the lowness on any car but I like the rocker panels on my 05 they dont need as much attention as the painted ones.
Those are a bit much imo.

Remove! Way too busy for the rest of the car, just looks like it belongs on a riced out Civic, not a S197 Mustang.

I think there are a couple types of Mustang people , Those that like the eleanor look and those that don't. Either one is ok, I like plane.Or maybe Plain.

I don't care for the side skirts, but all in all, it looks good.

I would remove it. I have a 2007 and much, much prefer the factory look. I like a stealth look.

Yeah I'd remove it and put it on ebay.

I do like the APR widebody kits though.

Remove it. It looks tacked on and doesn't even match the body lines.

That's too NFS Underground for me. Lose it ASAP. As mentioned before, looks cheap, lines don't match, and the design is just plain ugly.

Thanks guys,

removal is underway, this adhesive is hard to get off. I will post before and after pics. I think I'm going to keep the front piece on, I kinda like it.

Removed! updated pics

Ok, i started at 1PM and now 4 hours later.... wow, it def looks 10x better. i did keep front piece because I think it looks pretty good on the car. The back end of car looks a lot better to me. I hated the pipes wraped in plastic. The blue on my car is darker in person, looks very light in picture.

+1. Looks much better w/out the other rockers and the GT/CS knockoff bumper.

I think Goo Gone is good stuff but you have to let it sit awhile, harmless to the material underneath. It might need a couple applications.
