I can't believe there are people telling you to save up and get the 'real thing'! 
If you want a 22B body kit on your car, go for it!!
It would be like saying to everyone with an STI spoiler on a UK car to save their money and buy an STI instead!!

shocking......... your stepping back into the realm of the nova boys slapping tons of fibreglass and filler all over the scoob! IMHO, leave the scoob how it is and spend on running gear or buy a 22B ?

600lbs heavier?
what utter cr4p.
the front and rear bumpers are lighter than standard, and the front and rear arches replace the standard ones with ones which bend differently.
where do people get their info from?
600lbs is about 250kgs ffs! they would have to be made of gold to weigh anything like that much!

Gotta agree with Floppy, Spend the money on running gear or some subtle bits of body work.... MRO front splitter and side skirts.
The problem with the 22B body kit is, yes it flares the arches out but then the car looks naff because the offset hasn't changed on the wheels and the car dwarfs them.
IMHO it doesn't look nice, makes the car heavier and you will probably get the grief that escort boys get when they try and make their 1.3 Ghia look like a cossy!!!

mate, the gap is massive... you would need to stick a Turbo nut between the wheel and the hub to get the right distance it's that big!
22B wheels will only fit a 22B and you'll be hard pressed to find some wheels that will fit the car convincingly and make it look nice!!
