Will this Bodykit Combo Work?

I'm thinking of the following in my head:

-Nismo front bumper
-Ings+1 Sides
-Kenstyle rear bumper

Will they line up properly so they don't look like a frankenstein bodykit? I think I've read numerous times that the KS sides are actually Ings sides so I'm assuming no issues there, but how about the Nismo front to the Ings sides?

With ppl already offering a urethane Nismo front and a possible urethane KS rear in the works, I'm starting to formulate my bodykit plans. Does anyone offer Ings sides in urethane yet?

BTW, what's with the logic of increasing prices after the initial buy? Would the initial buy be considered beta tester pricing? Any plans for these manufacturers to take customer feedback and incorporate improvements to their molds? Do the urethane molds have a useful lifespan? If so, how many times are molds used before discarding?

Thanks!

Didn't Paranormal at one time have this combo?

The NISMO front is agressive but at the same time subtle enough to work with most kits.

I had that setup before.. Minus the Kenstyle Rear.. it's a bit too crazy for me..

The sides will be a little lower than the Nismo. My Topsecret is leveled with my sides.

Thx! Saw your pics, nice and clean setup. I'm assuming you went with the authentic KS and Ings kits? If not, how's fitment? Build quality?

Anyone make the KS sides or Ings sides in urethane?


Thanks!!!

No, mine are replicas. Both fiberglass. Automotivemods make both Nismo front and Ings sides in urathane. Look here: http://www.americasoverstock.com/catalog.php?ID=9

Mine are from Creative Autoworks and the fitment is utter crap. Unless you have a good bodyshop that knows how to work with fiberglass, don't buy a fiberglass replica... it's too much of a risk otherwise.

the nismo front and ing's side would be good, but not the KS rear. too aggressive for the nismo front. you should also look at the nismo front w/ stillen sides and rear. i might do that or impul sides and rear

Thanks for the advice!!! Went to the Stillen website to check out the sides and rear. I prefer the cleaner lines on the Ings sides to the cut and shaped look of the Stillens. The Stillen rear is a bit too modest for my tastes. I also want to get rid of my existing rear bumper when I do the bodykit mod as it has numerous scratches, cracks, etc. The Stillen rear seems to be an addon to the bottom portion of the existing OE bumper. Am I correct? Unfortunately, I was an early fan of the KS kit before it was even available in the states, but didn't have the $$$ at the time to justify a $4-5k endeavor. Now that some time has passed, I'm seeing cheaper alternatives pop up due to domestic demand looking for alternatives to horrible exchange rates for JDM parts and long *** lead times from distributors. So I'm pretty excited about companies like Automotive Mods doing something about it and doing it in a way that gives us enthusiasts some confidence in the product and an open forum to discuss and evaluate the products. Anyhow, I'm hoping their next project will be the KS rear.

i think having the KS rear is nice makes the car look really aggressive from behind so that will def draw more attention for people to want to race you and if you got some goodies under the hood then you will def have alot more fun while driving....nismo front is a little to much $$$ for my liking maybe the Greddy front or Stillen...if you want to go with some skirts i really like the way the Veilside wings look
