Opinions on GP body kits

Ugly, ricer look, Miami Vice..etc???? I kind of like the look on this car. Makes it look low & wide. Does it add an value to the car or is this an "eye of the beholder" thing.

Just makes me wonder how good the original salesman was or how much dumb money the buyer had.

Interesting third brake light location. Nice car, although "DP", not sure I like the combo of the BBS & ride height. Maybe lower it, change out the wheels with some "DP" deepies to match???

its not hideous, but certainly need to ditch the wheels and lower it. Not to my taste.

In my experience mods reduce value. Not always of course, just 99.9% of the time!

I would be very cautious about paying more than for a stock vehicle in similar condition.
