any opinions? suggestions? rice alert? I loooove the color, its exactly what Im looking to get on my paint job (maybe a lil bit darker) and the kit is from an r33. I know i should get attention at HIN if I go this way lol.:biggrin3:

im not a huge fan of the front bumper no offense. the color is awesome but the body kit looks like something a accord would do, if ya know what i mean. i would look for something that stands out but at the same time something classy. but then again people have different tastes, so as long as you love it GO FOR IT!

lol second person thats tells me "looks kinda honda-ish". I've always liked the R33 look (old skyline), and thats the bumper from that car really. I think both the R33 and my car are quite alike (sans the power output lol), and Im not going to be rocking neons or anything, and Im choosing a dark, opaque color, which also I feel calms down the flashiness a lil bit.

But i appreciate your thought. thnks:yes:

lol that would be a lot of fun. i dont know really, I acytually like that style. it does remind me of an old r33. anyway, i dont have too much of a choice when it comes to body work. its this or stocker:no:

gotta love the 3 different types of mesh in the front bumper. best ryce ever.

please dont buy that body kit.....color looks good, but that kit looks like crap...IMO though.....

in the end it's your car so do what you want, but i would try to find other options for the body.

no mesh for me though. I do have athe intercooler to fill the gap. I was thinking of throwing some speed fog lights in the holes.

seems people are pretty much against it here. lol

No to the front body kit. Looks like Paul Wall's mouth. Except it is with screen from Home Depot. UGLY. No to body kit. The rest is not bad though.

dude even if u did get the first bumper u posted, hows that going to make u a ricer if your cars turbocharged, and quick(from what i hear)? ricers are the slow guys, not the fast guys

i like clean lines as i stated before, i did not mean to be harsh before btw. but i was the first person to say that if it make syou happy go for it. its not a bad body kit, the first one, its just not my taste since i am very picky. i LOVE the red kit though its so clean and nice that i would go in that direction. but do what is best for you in the end. because i nor anyone else that has given advice will be driving the car but you.

^^thnaks boss. In the end, the problems is that nobody else makes kits for my car, and finding somebody that makes them for so cheap is kinda hard to let go.

Then again, I have to order them to Canada, and I still havent heard from the guy. I want to buy one bad though lol...

A body kit within good taste, and a nice coat of candy blue or silver would look great!

Broken

midnigght blued with a base coat of silver perhaps?? or midnight blue with silver flakes??? *drools*

Raider

candy apple blue. Purist hot rod freaks will slice their wreists over an import going old school with the paint, but if done right, the paint will look so deep, you can dive into it.

but i like the black!!! lol...any pics of something candy blue??

Definately go with the kit on the red car!!! It looks more like an R34 and alot cleaner than the first one you posted up. Also, midnite blue mica paint will look awesome! I think Toyota makes a color like that...

unfortunatelly, those kits (red and silver) are not made anymore. A company called Errebuni (sure yall know it) used to make them. The first one is custom made by a mx6 owner in canada, does them to order.

+ I like the color

- Ride height
- Chicken wire grills
- Weak wheel offset

Verdict: 1997 called, it wanted it's car styling back.
