JDM Rice Advice

[sr20tom]

I am trying to work now on the exterior of the car cause i go to a rich college where all the brat girls drive 350Zs and freshman drive new S4s. I already got the SR20DET in there but the car was just so hideous that i really didn't appreciate it as i did before so i want to make it look nice. I already got my front end with CF hood and Trunk was a whore and got 5 zigen wheels with my 5 lug. I really think that my next purchase will be the taillights, but I want a lip kit, cause i dont want any ricy bodykits. I work for Full Throttle Performance in NY and all the shops around me have nothing for my car but performance mods. So if anyone has any advice on which lip kit to get and where to get it from, that would be much appreciated. Here is what I already have!!!

I can post all the pics here and if anuone is bored just go to this link:

imho, you don't need to be so up to the "standard" to make yourself feel better. You have a nice car already - if you think it this way, no need to pour extra money so quickly to make it "beautiful" in the eyes of others... your ride is presentable already...

though my ride is pretty clean (stock looking, paint is still in good shape)

just my 2c.

Put a chargespeed wide body kit on it. Then slap on some 17x10 and 17x9 wheels one it. coil overs to lower it and a nice paint job. But if you go chargespeed don't buy the hood. I am not impressed at all with the chargespeed hoods

dude, check out the version select kits. They own the world. And as for impressing, just get a paint job, and you are set. No one to impress but yourself.

[infinitexsound]

VS kits are dope....... fitment is DAYMN NICE..couldnt believe it but mines came out to as close to stock.. just needs some loving work.....make it a Bosoballer car... gangster baller wheels, nice kit..pearl white paint job and its a go and SLAM it nicely with a pull and roll...

Dude i agree with ranisron. Ur car's coming along pretty well, lot further then many other project cars i see around my area. U don't seem pleased with the progress you've made so far tho cause ur not turning heads... Where's the love? screw them 350z bitches who don't realize what they got and go have some fun getting a minor fender bender. Drive ur shit man, u just made a silvia...

As far as looks go though, just make it clean and low key. I personally love the cars that take the eye of an enthusiast to know what's really on it and why it's on it. All that unecessary stuff seems to be a Honda driver's MO. (I use the term 'driver' very loosely.)

are you trying to get laid with the riced up car? :naughtyd:

are you trying to get laid with the riced up car? :naughtyd:

seems like it..

why give him compliments when even he doesnt appreciate his car? all i see here is someone fixing up their car solely to impress others... and now you're asking for our opinion cause u want us to be "impress" also :smash:

learn how to fuvking read. he already has a CF hood. no need to discuss potential new hoods.

There are tons of stuff out there to improve the looks of the car. I personally would stay away from the wild looking kits and just go for a clean paint job and some OEM aero and some nice big wheels. Since you already have the S13 front end try looking for the OEM S13 Aero bumper. It's really rare but looks very clean.

Raceonusa also sells this lip that looks pretty clean on the S13 front bumper.

is that duct tape holding the hatch glass in?

[sr20tom]

I amnot trying to get laid because of my car, but I also dont want a hoopty. I dont wanna change any bumpers!!! All i am asking for is a clean looking lip kit. I was looking at the lip that sometimes appears on ebay, some 180sx sideskirts and a 180sx rear valance. I cant always find it, so if you guys know where to get these, would be much appretiated.

[Goinsleeper]

thats what i was looking at tiggs.....

anyway, for a paintjob i would go black (just for future reference). you had a good question asking about lip kits, i think you just didnt present it quite the way you shouldve.

just to kick a dead horse... its your car dude. build what you think looks nice and screw everyone else.

[sr20tom]

ohhh its duck tape baby.
I just had it done last morning and i want the glue to dry for a couple of days cause the window is held on only with silicone. I already ordered my taillights from SPW so they should be here soon. i cant find the OEM sideskirts and the JDM OEM rear valance. Someone healp.
Thanx Tom

I have a lip that will fit your bumper, it sat in my garage for 9 months before I bothered to put on the car monday, it is your for 10 million dollars

[SochBAT]

Lips, sideskirts, and valences.

Fuck JDM.

That's what I figured.. It just looked funny to me cuz you're worried about the car being riced and there was all this duct tape, haha. But I see your purpose it obviously makes sense. Did you just use stock glass or lexan etc? Sorry, not exactly on topic.

[withy]

honestly, if i were you man i wouldn't get any lips or side skirts or anything. the s13 and s14 both have a classic sports car design. and since you got the go fast and a conversion all you need is a really really nice paint job. the paint will breathe new life into the car i promise

[vinhisbored]

yeah, many people i'm sure already envy you. it's not like 'everyone' you see with an s13 has 5 lug with an sr. big deal, your car's different.
