Value vs expense
What value (if any) does a unique body kit add? Does it make a car more or less valuable given that personal taste and money spent will ultimately weigh on the owners mind and much as a prospective buyer?
Check out the album of my 22b replica I just updated and please tell me if you think it's worth more than a standard coupe on looks alone... I'll post engine specs when i get around to placing an advert Either way, I like it... I'm hoping to get an idea of what to advertise it for and what to realistically expect to get... Unfortunately, I can't supply any info on where the kit came from or who fitted it until I can find the paperwork... Please leave some feedback in the album so I know if the expense added enough value to justify it's value Thanks |

Edited...
Well...how long's a piece of string? Basically the kit may attract some and put others off...so let's work on those who may be attracted...it might add $1000 or so to the value as (from photos) it looks reasonably well fitted (but one would like to have a close look). BUT: 1. fix the right hand bonnet vent 2. put a decent set of rims on it. Then...can we assume that it is a V5 STi? What mods? How many KM? Any issues? These are much more important than the body kit. It's the whole package that will sell the car...do some research on how much similar cars are going for then set your price.

I'd rather a stock looking STi coupe or a proper genuine looking 22B replica. This job doesn't do it for me so I would say it de-values it from my perspective. I'm sure that there would be ppl who love it tho.

Defiantly not worth what you have been trying to flog it for on gumtree and other sites for the last god knows how long is it at least registered now?

If done properly they look great but that falls a little short.
Get rid of that RH bonnet vent it's awful. You're almost there with it but change the wheels they are hideous. You need something wider with concave faces. I think if you put the right rims on it will completely change the perception of the car.
