Default Custom Body Kit... Need your suggestions...

So my younger brother finished school for autobody and now hes working on making him self a custom body kit for his 1999 Sentra SE. I have to say kid got talent. He used his old bumpers and half of civics bumpers and much bondo to make him new kit. After seeing his pictures and what he have done to it i've been thinking about asking him to make one for mine. I mean he can pretty much do anything i want to it...
I want to ask you guys what would look good if i was to have him make me one out of another bumper from another car and put two together like he did on his???
IDK if this makes sense to you... if not i can rephrase it i guess lol . I will post pictures of his work sometimes soon when i get them on my phone, meanwhile please help me out

well dont forget that you would have to paint it afterwards.... so that will cost money too. i think bmws make some pretty cool looking body kits. but they arent along the line of cheap or easy to come by

I think that it would be cool to see a b5 with the b6 S4 lower door moldings. Just a thought

I don't think you should mix another car's body with an audi unless you're willing to spend a lot of money and get oem parts maybe.. You could just mold your lowers with your front and rear bumpers and shave some things like the headlight washers and side moldings and the fender side markers / random audi symbols instead. That's the most I would want but maybe you'd disagree.
And why do you have facelift headlights listed on your sig if you don't have them on your car? or at least on that picture of it.
