while having a body kit is cool (sometimes), it really depends though. does the body kit you are getting have the proper clearance slot for your exhaust? as long as you don't get the ridiculous looking body kit, the exhaust should fit without cutting or any other mods. i personally think the best looking body kits are the more subtle ones, no crazy three story spoilers or ground scrapping, spread eagle side skirts.

the best thing to do is probably see where the exhaust slot is for the rear bumper. spend some time imagining how everything would fit with your body kit and exhaust.

Based on your sig, you shouldn't need any help deciding what to get.

^ Probably PS3 game cars... if I had a 350Z or a Infinity, I sure as heck wouldnt be bothered with a baseline 1.8 liter corolla.

And a baseline corolla does? :P

Honestly, the blue bodykit in the pics is the only one that looks decent :P

I would go for the exhaust system first, since nowadays there are lots of cars with body kits.

For the look you want, skip the kit, get springs. Body kit makes the car look really bad without a drop anyways. Its all about stance, once you get that down, then do what you will with a kit and muffler and what not. Springs, wheels (wider than stock) and after that you may not even want a body kit.
