I'm afraid that its price tag makes it less affordable than just any body kit..

Anyways looks ace!

It's a shame anyone can buy it though, nothing exclusive about it. :cry:
I don't think you'll see too many of these.

The 35iS is pretty rare anyway and the price / work involved would put off most folk :).

But right enough it's no unique like yours ;)

Deffinately looks unique and pretty impressive. I love the wider arches and despite what people say I'm quite partial to a nice set of vents and carbon fibre.

However me personally, I'd have put the money for the car, kit and fitting etc towards a boxster I think. Though that's me being old and (kinda) sensible.

Invest in a decent set from VAD or iForged they do them completely custom to your requirements.

The scoops on the hood is a little to much, but otherwise it looks awesome! :thumbsup:

What were the issues with fitting - was the kit not very well sized ?
Had many problems with Duke Dynamics
- Had to wait ages for the kit to be build
- Had problems with shipping
- Duke took ages to get back to you
- Kit just not does fit, had to do a number of adjustments – Also I’ve heard I’m not the only one to find out that the quality of the kit is very poor.
- I must admit I wasn't in a rush getting it done as you can see from when I started this thread as it has taken this long to complete.
- The Kit is way below the quality of other parts I've had from: Vorsteiner, Varis, Oynx, GuppeM and ac-schnitzer etc.

However that said, if you have the “patience of a saint”, deep wallets, all the time in the world and most importantly a bloody good body shop then its ok, LOL.

It’s a real shame as Duke have a really lovely kit. They are just really poor on general customer service and overall quality. However to their defense they did give me free of charge a 1M style front splitter (which I decided not to fit) when they went silent for a few weeks. I can only imagine their production process must not be very good as the quality is below par.

But all that said (and just looking at it) it looks bloody amazing completed

Great job considering potential pitfalls, I like the front bumper as its not too disimilar to the latest BMW designs, wheels really suit but what spoils it for me is the way the tail flicks up on the bootlid, it looks out of balance to my eyes on the side profile, looks almost Corvette like.

Out of interest how much would this would affect the cars value in the short term?
