Sup guys.

Well my car is almost done. Im picking up my Origin Stream aero this weekend. I have heard good things about the fitment. But i really want to do this the right way and bolt the aero up and not use zipties.

So i guess my question is what's the bolt thread and pitch i can use to mount the kit for my s13? And any advice you can tell me would be great. I did search and nothing really useful came up. So maybe this thread can help out other noobs mounting there first aero kit.

Thx in advance

you should be able to use all the factory stuff. id imagine you would need to take the brackets and bolts off the old bumpers and drill the holes needed and mount everything that way. as far as the side skirts, the kit i have to put on the s13 at school came with self taping screws. that's some ghetto shit in my opinion but i just do what they tell me to. might wanna look into the skirts more. but the front/rear bumper should be compatible with the factory hardware. my kit was from extreme dimensions tho, it fucking sucks. that's how ive had to do it so far though. im waiting on some parts to finish it right now.

my Origin Stream kit on my last s14 was a PITA to fit. i would pay a professional to do it lol.
but either way its done, make sure there is a barrier between the front part of the fenders and the bumper, mine started to show rust spots after a while.

More info on said barrier?

A good way to mount the skirts IMO is to mount where desired with the blue painters tape, drill pilot holes for mounting, then install rivet nuts (Product Details | M6 x 1.0 6H .70-4.2 Large Flange Ribbed Nutsert Steel | Fastenal (http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=0125653&ucst=t))
remember to pick a size that suites your needs

after the rivet nuts are installed you can mount the side skirt with some allen bolts ( I think thats what they are called)

g/l get creative

That a good point, I have OEM metal silvia fenders and i don't want rust to form. Are you talking about near the headlights? And if thats you kouki in your avatar i think it turned out pretty beast.

And MAV thats a good idea looks easy and should turn out clean.

Thing is my car didn't come with a front bumper so i don't have any of the hardware for it. I know they are 10mm head bolts but i don't know the pitch.
