Just wanting some opinions on my car.
 
Okay guys, here is my car. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything. I bought this shell the way it sits, and since then I have dropped in a fully built sr20. I'm making a reliable 500hp on this daily. I was wondering what you guys think I should do with the body. Should I keep the flares and go with wider rims? Or should I ditch the flares and go with overfenders in the rear and fiberglass front fenders? Or stock fenders in the front. If i ditch the flares in the rear i will definitely have to go with overfenders because the quarter panels are already cut out fully. Front fenders are cut as well.

Okay, so just lemme know your opinions. Literally, any advice would be cool. I realize this is MY car, and i should make it how I want it, but I'm just a little unsure about what route to go. And doing something that people like looking at is a plus to me.

it looks good.

i would just go with a different choice of wheels and getting the fitment right.

I agree, line the flares up with the tires and it'll be looking even better than it does now. That body kit actually looks good which is surprising considering most 240 kits look like cardboard and duct tape.

I partly agree. Stick with the P45R's, but go with the 17x9.5's up front and the 18x10 rears with the lip.

Concave in the front, lip in the back. Yeah buddy!

Use spacers to get them fitting just right. Then lower it some more and call it a day. Oh and ditch the hood spacers.

And might I suggest powdercoating the wheels a color that really POPs? Because I'm really digging white cars on Candy Teal wheels...

There are over 10 different picture threads on this forum. Start from page one of each of them and you will formulate your own ideas.

OrangeVirus1 03-16-2013 12:45 PM

everything looks nice!

except that POOPOO looking stains on the rear bumper from ur exhaust lol :)

240boi115 03-16-2013 12:59 PM

If you were to add rear overfenders i think itd really complete the look of your car... id change the rims as well, I dont know about you but choosing rims for my car is the hardest thing to make a solid decision on. lol

EnemyS15 03-16-2013 01:30 PM

If its not broke, don't fix it. It looks good, go a step further and mold the flares. Find better rims and you got a nice looking ride. Clean the poo stain as well.

Farzam 03-16-2013 04:10 PM

Get a windshield banner that says "500hp in this daily"

HyperTek 03-16-2013 04:24 PM

You can fix the saggy bumper

kandyflip445 03-16-2013 05:00 PM

Fix the fit of the body panels and get some new wheels.

These two sentences contradict each other.

fliprayzin240sx 03-16-2013 08:03 PM

Get better wheels, you'll need to get some one way or another.

LOL..... a lot V8 owners shoot my car down until they try to race me and then seem to get upset when their car just don't stand a chance running heads up. Maybe its when I tell them its a 2.0 liter and I drive it everyday running on 93 octane pump gas lol.

I see where ever one is going, I can understand about changing rims to maybe something wider and fixing that sag in the front bumper. I defiantly got to fix the poo poo stains in the rear lol.

Everyone keep the opinions coming, I like hearing the ideas.

Dude I think your car looks really nice, screw all these other people. maybe just get a exhaust tip a little longer so it doesn't ugly up your bumper

Car looks like shit burn it with fire..... thank me later

TougeLove 03-18-2013 08:51 AM

you have rounded flares on a square body kit.

black and chrome wheels went out with F&F1.

I would sell the kit and purchase something more low key or add overs and drop it on some works.

MikeisNissan 03-18-2013 12:58 PM

I like it. Just get better fitting wheels.

inopsey 03-18-2013 01:03 PM

typical zilvia responses here "your car sucks cuz its not hella flush"

240boi115 03-18-2013 01:29 PM

i mean the car is pretty cool but if youre going to keep the flares then rock it bozoku style with them tiny rims low profile tires.. ugh! xD but the widebody would need new rims like suggested.

If I were you.

Keep the flares, go for Volk GTCs and get the fitment right, Aero that fits flush with the flares.

I'd like to punch this guy in the throat. Nothing positive to say on anybodies threads. People like him make Zilvia look bad. But anyways. Lose the flares and stickers, then get overfenders. (:

First of all, you contradicted yourself.

Second off all, whatever you do, make sure you paint it all the same color this time.

Thirdly, start with better wheels, I wouldn't mess with the body until you get wheels because you could be happy with it without anything but wheels that don't resemble poop.

Fourthly, speaking of poop, as someone mentioned earlier, fix your exhaust, it looks like your car has a skid mark... in tighty whities..
