Default Help Which Bodywork

I have the cash for my bodywork (it's taking a lot of selling!!)
There's currently only two options
AGM or Equinox.

Equinox - full length side panels, bonnet fits/locks into place, scuttle has a recess in for neat dash mounting. 1 inch higher than "standard", plain nose cone. future dash panel, aero screen, rear cover etc

AGM - nicer nose, standard profile which looks better IMO, not full length side panels, no neat touches and not heard of any future other products.

So which one?????

I would like to have opinions too. I was waiting for vodoo bodywork but i didn't hear any more news about it... There is any pictures of equinox bodywork already in a car around?
Thanks

Here's a pic of a GTS wide.
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/view...php?tid=172829

you can see that the scuttle sits a good amount taller. I'd need to see the equinox kit on a car to know if I'd like the look of it as its 1 inch higher than the saturn/nts scuttle (good for tall engines mind).

I'm not a big fan of the GTS wide scuttle/bonnet height.

The GTS wide scuttle looks odd as it stands far too upright compared to the angles that surround it such as the seat back and rear arches. The radious that blends the sides in to the top also does not help matters and perhaps a bigger curve/radious would have given it less boxy look, this is what happens when you cut and shut body parts to make them bigger instead of starting again.
