Body kits with Athens blue... help me decide.

Im on a budget but i really want to search around for some body kits that i like. The car is pretty stock so i dont want anything to agressive. I like the kenstyle rear... but which front would match that? The nismo is alright but looks too similar to my stock bumper....

My stock front bumper has a million rock chips in it seeing as i drive on the highway for about 60 miles every day, and my rear bumper has a dent in it by the license plate hole that is starting to spider crack out (and its only a matter of time before it starts to peel the paint off)

I would prefer a kit that is guarenteed fittament because im not in the mood to pay a shop alot of $$$ to install it if its something i could do in my own garage.

Im considering getting a kit from m1 autosports

https://g35driver.com/forums/exterio...es-225-ea.html

but alot depends on how much it would be to get it painted and shipped (and hopefully i can install it myself since its guarenteed to fit)

Thanks for any input!

or do you think its better to just get a nice set of rims first and worry about the body kit later down the road? Im on a budget so if i got rims they would be something cheaper (no volks.... MAX. $1000 for a set of 4 rims...)

maybe something like the ASA JH9 or something like the SSR GT7-H

with the sales that are going on... i can get a nismo front and kenstyle or CS rear to my house for like $750.... they are both guarenteed fittament.... so all i really need is paint & they should be able to bolt right up, no?

so $400 in paint for them bringing it to like $1200...... that would about be my limit... mainly because i NEED new tires and they are running me $1100.

First off the kenstyle rear is way way way to aggressive for a stock body... i would not go with that rear... Go with Charge Speed rear

I do think you should start off with wheels then get a body kit later down the road
