Wanting members feedback on helping me make a decision on which kit to go with. I have a new doner car to put a kit on.. But I can decide what kit to put on it either a chalon or GT kit .. I already have the chalon kit from another car so it would be just the time and labor of installing it.. Where as for the GT kit I would have to buy the extra parts of fender flares , bumpers , etc which will cost me more $$$ and etra time and labor too.. Which whey would you go and why?? Thanks Guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The GT is a mod with a real world purpose. The Chalon changes what was a 914 into something that looks different but doesn't add any driving enhancement.

Brett I owned an '84 RX-7 GSL-SE and whenever I see a Chalon, I know what inspired them to design the Mazda... Not a bad looking Mazda. Terrible thing to do to a 914... Attached image(s) |

That would make the design progression look like this: 930 Slant Nose -> 914 Chalon -> RX-7 It's an interesting theory but I disagree. The rx-7 was a copy of the 924 and the second gen rx-7 was an almost line for line copy of the 944 Turbo. |

That particular car shows that if done right and the right attention to detail, that the Chalon kit can look quite well. Who's car is that by the way? And is it for sale? ;-) |
