The early 2000s are back, baby. The tech sector seems ready to pop, the kids are layering multiple tank tops above their baggy low-rise pants, and cars are getting lower, wider, and visually louder. Wide bodies with garish liveries are all the rage in the drift and time attack scenes, and those styles are trickling down to street cars — street cars that need body kits to fit the look. If only there were some sort of massive lot of ‘90s-’00s body kits sitting in England, all for sale as a bunch.
This British listing offers “over 150″ bodykit parts, for everything from the R34 Nissan Skyline and A80 Toyota Supra to the humble Honda Fit. There are parts for RX7s, MR2s, S13s, all the period cars we lust after now. If we’re going to fully bring back the sex spec era — and we should — we’re going to need these parts to kickstart us.
They should only be a kickstart, though. Rocket Bunny and Pandem, Liberty Walk, these modern brands are great, but there should be companies bringing back this early-aughts style. The kids yearn for it! They’re carrying their things in translucent bags, for God’s sake. They want to live in those bright carefree days before the pandemic, before the housing market crashed, and body kits are an integral part of recreating that experience. A terrarium for Zoomers to see what life was like before it all went so downhill.
In the absence of those reproductions, though, we need the originals. Buy this lot of bodykit parts, distribute the pieces to folks who want to relive those automotive glory days. You’d be doing a public service.
