Good luck on the exams!!

Yea. Those kits are beautiful. But they're also like $3900 + shipping. Mention 240sx.org to get a discount.
Also.. what is an underspoiler? I would really be interested in a flat panel to go underneath my car (drag reduction), ala Ferrarri Enzo.

I used to hate that kit, but after looking at the new pics, it isn't that bad, but still too aggressive for me. It's one of a kind though.

Eh...I don't really like it. I'm not to big on non-functional scoops. I'd like one of the GP Sport kits. The G Four "SMOOTHING" one....it looks sooooooo nice.:D

I personally wouldn't pay that much, but it might just be me. They discontinued them anyway, or only making a certain amount more . Something about to keep them more rare, pretty good idea if you think about it. My brother is planning on getting the tail lights. i'd get them too but im getting coupe.....

Actually.. the kit is $3K now. It's also really, really nice IMO. And $3k isn't too much to spend on a kit, cuz a lot of the JDM kits cost near that (Du-Luck, ect.)

It's not bad, but it's not that great either. It's a bit too cartoony (if that's even the right word) for me. I'm really not liking the front end, especially the turn signals.

Yeah its really Extreme but I mean youll need to find some big azz shoes to fit in those fenders. Its $$$ but I mean people will ask you what kind of car is that its a NisFerrari <--Cheesy. But guys even though this is off topic I need a 240 in VA everybody please ask a friend or relative to sell one not needed. Thank you

That is the kit that I have been dreaming to own. But the problem with that is it DOES look like a completely diff. car. Too me it looks like a RX7 in the front and god damn ferrari in the rear...
either way its bad ass. Im trying to go with the lightly exterior modded sleeper style. Something like the Eastbear s14A kit....Electron blue pearl with silver/black spoke rims...

Actually that body kits scoops, are functional.....
The rear scoop allows air to flow behind the wheels, cooling down your brakes, for better stopping....
The front air damn is perfect for an intercooler, lets plenty of air in plus gives air to the radiator, plus you can have tubes running to the front brakes cooling those down also..
The front fender scoop, seems to be more for show but it may let the hotness escape from the braking....
I personally like that kit.. If it wasn't so much money i'd buy it.... I love how the qauter panels and doors look....MM sexy

its really sleek looking
although it doesnt look like an s13 anymore
if they made a widebody kit like than for the s14- if i had the $
i'd try to get one

Alirght, even if the scoops are functional I still don't like that kit. Especially if you were gonna use the car for a daily driver...I mean c'mon....you really think some ppl are gonna keep their keys away from that? Well they won't here...
Also, if it's a daily driver what would you do if someone bumped into you....not really worth it to completely change your car then have to go and buy a "limited" replacement.....
But everyone has their own preference I guess.:rolleyes:

I used to really HATE that kit made the car look like a toy.
now I think it is still not that bad but i hate it less. It makes the 240 look too concept carish and totally ruins the original look of the 240
I am also one that does not like extreme kits

you know, after some consideration, i'm pretty confident i could make my OWN ferarri tails.... just take off the stock tails, set em up, and layer over 'em with fiberglass... pop off the fiberglass, cut some holes and buy some lights and bam! ferarri lights!

I love that kit, but it costs too much. I have been talking to jacquemond for months, but they just won't drop there price enough for me to buy it. I can buy a kit that will make my car look just as good for one fourth of the amount and spend the rest of the money of other parts for my car. Basically it is the kit I would prefer to have, but they just want way too much money for them so I have dicided against the kit and I would reccomend the same to you. You could spend a grand on any other kit and still have 3 to 4 grand to spend on other parts for your car. Personally I am going to spend the other money on my engine.
