Default Possible Bodykits

I got my car about 2 weeks ago and have had fun in it, but now its time for some mods. First thing i want to do is add on a bodykit but im worried that adding on a kit will take too much personality from the car. I have a 5.0ltr eb fairmont (pic below), and i have come up with three possible bodykits for my car:
MMM kit
SSV kit
Sprint kit

let me know what you's think i should do and which kit will suit my car the best?



thanks

Colour code the bumpers (leave the chrome strip) and handles, put on an XR bootlid spolier, drop it a little more and it'll look tuff. Then spend some money on the engine.
Otherwise you could do what i did and put the MMM kit on it, it is a big kit so does look better with dished wheels - I'd guess you would then wanna upgrade the wheels.

^^^^^^ What they said. Colour coding goes a long way to make these cars look schmick (looks good already : ). Save your $$$ for future mods like engine & suspension. Stiffer anti-roll bars (unless you already have them, looks like superlows are already fitted) will transform it into a nimble toy & make it handle as good as it looks, rather than the boat ride Ford sold. Cost you less than the bodykit & easy to fit too.

BTW, is it still auto?

yeh its an auto and i know the springs are pedders but im not sure what type of springs they are. From the looks of it they might be ryder coil springs, but il have a look when i jack up the car later.

Handling is superb on this car, the guy that i brought it off installed good shockers....(so he said). I'l paint over the grey triming around the car and il also paint the handles, and i guess il see how i go with the kit.......... maybee the sprint kit would go ok on it then? hmmmm
