Is This a good deal?

[NinjaGaiden]

Aero bumper with support
Lights with brackets (square, or projectors)
GTR grill
Fenders (one of them has a dent)
Hood
Side Skirts

for $1300

Also, it is painted two tone, the color I like. In the pictures the paint looks in good condition. This stuff is used, but it is all together, and is exactly what I have been looking for. My friend tried to convince me that its not worth trying to get an aero bumper for $500+ and instead just get a GP sports or M sports body kit. If I were to get a body kit, it would run me over $1k if I got the bumper and side skirts.

With the package I listed above, its pretty much a body kit + a silvia conversion. What do you guys think? Should I go for it?

Cheers!

I think that it is a good deal, especially with #1 the aero bumper #2 the sideskirts #3 the non-projector headlights #4 the gt-r grill.

All of those goodies cost $$$ and a normal silvia conversion can go anywhere from $600-$850 depending on shape of the pannels. These look to be pretty damn clean...just hope for no bondo under all that pretty paint! I would say it is a good deal, but then again I am not an expert...ask Dousan...hehehe :D j/p aaron!

*edit* also, is that including shipping to bay area or no? cuzz shipping can be some serious dough!

I think it's a good deal. JSPEC sells those sideskirts and bumper for ridiculous prices and people buy them.

i'd go for it....

[mistaanime]

nice..price esp that bumper....:D

[NinjaGaiden]

$150 shipping for everything.....I think that is pretty good price, but I'm going down to LA to pick up myself so ~$40 of gas, and then he said shipping the hood alone would be $70.

Thanks for ur inputs. Right now, its 50% chance i'll go for it. I wish I had my own garage. I think I'm going to work something out with my landlord to let me borrow her garage. The conversion shouldnt' take me longer than a month (working only on weekends), right? I'll prob offer her $100 for her garage for a month.

Cheers

a MONTH? if it takes you more than 4 hours, you're moving SLOW. The problem you'll face is finding a home for your old front end!

:werd: if you can install an intake you can swap your front end..;)

and what year is your car?..what condition is your front end in?..can usually get a couple hundred for it in good condition..

[NinjaGaiden]

its a 93 front in very good condition.

I looked at the install manual for silvia conversion, but didnt' know how long it would take. Good to know it will only take me a weekend to do...if i'm really slow :D

[DRFT]

wow seems like a deal cause of the bumper and sides! Really nice condition too! i think i can even see my own reflection on it.

hmm..cool..i'm in the Bay Area too..santa cruz..depending on what car i pick up to replace my destroyed one i would be willing to offer you somethin for your front (money + labor to install silvia front)..might bring the cost of the swap down even more...

[mbmbmb23]

Yep....it's a good deal. I saw that on ebay also. If you break down the parts into indivudual peices, its a good deal....especially if you can pick it up personally.

Go for it!!!

cool. If I can't find a place to store it we can work something out.... just thinkin if I get into an accident, it'll be nice to have a spare front ready to be put on.

Sucks to think that way, but there are people who dont' pay attention when they drive....shit happens.

Yeah, but nobody is bidding on it. prob a lot of money to spend at once, or not a lot of poeple like that set up?

[nokeone]

might wanna snatch that up now sooner rather then later...seeing as the cat's outta the bag about it's location..i could see someone trying to swoop on it...never know..

i'll stay in touch re: the front end..
