Re: Exterior Mods Planned for Spring... Opinions?

LOL!... Just get rid of the ken style sticker on the side skirts. Yeah, the rear bumper is only good if you had the HP to back it up. As far as all the kits stand right now, I would go with Nismo front bumper, ken style side skirts and impul rear bumper. Mixing and matching is the way to go, provided the lines still flow.

Re: Exterior Mods Planned for Spring... Opinions?

drew i am extremely careful with that... usually when i'm pulling into my driveway i have my door open to make sure i'm not too close.

when i go out without my car, i refuse to leave my keys by the front door like the rest of my family b/c i'm afraid one of them will try to move it and **** up one of my rims so i take the keys with me

Re: Exterior Mods Planned for Spring... Opinions?

Hi guys...

Obviously, I'm not a member of the squad. But I was doing a search on the same topic and I got returns with your posts. I am looking for the same set up for the nismo wheels on my red coupe 6mt as well. Can I ask, those rims on your photoshop, are they 18" or 19". I personally will probably just go for the 18", but I've also heard and see pics with 18" and they look smaller without a drop. What do you think? Also, do you know where's a good place to shop for those nismo rims? Have you thought about the bronze ones? I've seen bronze ones on a red Z, and I have to admit, it looked pretty hot. Thanks for your input in advance!

Talk to LOUG35. He has the nismos in 18's that he powdercoated Anthracite. They look hot! The main thing with any wheels with that design (meaning the forks kinda bend in and don't extend to the outter most part of the rim) is that they will make the tim look smaller. If you go with 18's, they do look smaller than stock 18's IMO. I would go 19's all the way, but that's just me. In regards to purchasing, try PM'ing PAUL at EASTERNAUTOSPORTS. He should be able to hook you up!

Re: Exterior Mods Planned for Spring... Opinions?

Just a heads up on the 350zforums products. I got a type-n replica bumper from him. NEVER again will I order a replica, it was an absolute piece of [censored]. It came in cracked and the fiberglass was as thin as paper.
A copy is never as good as the original I don't care what anyone says. I finally got the bumper returned, after crazy [censored] with my Credit card company.

Also, you might regret doing sideskirts, they rarely flow with the lines of the car, they crack easily, when getting out of a car with fiberglass sideskirts and you foot hits it doesn't sound too great lol. The Data systems lip is hot, I was gonna get one last month, but I've decided on the factory lip since it doesn't stickout as much. Just becareful with replicas

Re: Exterior Mods Planned for Spring... Opinions?

IMO the best thing thing you can do is, invest in a nice set of coilovers, rims and tires, tint and a front lip to match the factory aero kit.

I agree, or just go with Nismo, cleanest looking "aftermarket"/OEM kit IMO!!
