i really like the way the john deer blitz black looks on s13 coups, but i'm not in for the toatally murdered out look, i'll be keeping the xxr gold rims with the fat chrome lip and such, but i do want to find some tail lights that are brighter red in color(not the Light from the bulb, but the actual plastic to make a nice contrast with the satin blacksomething like this contrast(not a 240, but a skyline of course):

that and front lip/side skirt combos that i can get away with not having a rear bumper lip, or even some sideskirts that i could rock with the stock silvia conversion front bumper.

not looking for super flashy curvy stuff like the veilside kits, maybe the nismo sides. thanks for the input guys

whats the deal with using "murdered out" as an adjective...thanks MTV

as far as aero goes...the JDM factory s13 aero is my favorite, gives you the aero without being bulbus and obnoxious looking...jdm S13 lip, sides, and rear valance wins

(66top set)origin or dmax crystal tail lights available for coupes (top) and hatches (bottom) look the best.

I enjoy using the term "murdered-out" in conversation. Also that R32 is dope.

...the problem with asking for input on what you should do to your car is the overwhelming difference in opinion an dstyle that people have....to each is own...thats why I encourage people to do what they think is cool regardless of what everyone else thinks...not many people in the car scene can make up their own minds about s***...it will always be like that since most people hook up car to impress other people, which is kinda stupid..Not everyone likes my s***, which is fine...becasue its mine, not anyone elses...

OP, just look around and when you see something that speaks to you, youll know...and then do what you likes fool

Get some suspension (coilovers) and a nice set of wheels. None of that XXR garbage unless you're running the 17x9's with at least a 25mm spacer. Here's a vehicle that shows style without being "murdered out." OP, take notes.

It'll be a sad day for S13 owners when that car is considered stylish.

Ugh... you definitely struck a nerve there. MTV and the entertainment industry in general make me sick. Glad you pointed that out lol.

The red s13 is pretty beat...

Performance looks to be that car's saving grace. Looks like some half-cage or roll-bar action going on. Just noticed it was RHD, as well.

the +0 501s are prolly the only thing sport-maxxx have going for them and iirc are discontinued, offset is not that bad but the youll never fit a decent brake up front w/o spacers.

Shiity paint and shiity bodypanels.

The stance and wheels are pretty baller....but on a shiity looking car its all for naught.Id rather have a clean looking car with a decent stance and decent wheels than have a shiity looking car on a mean stance with chrome wheels.....but thats just me.

I own a legit S13 Silvia...I like it...full suspension (like everything), advans, brakes, full bushing set, HKS 2510 turbo, S15 injectors, powerbrace, greddy LM spec i/c, greddy type rs bov, ARC radiator, blah blah blah...looks stock as hell...I need to lower it more, I just but smaller tires on it today so I could get it low low this weekend...Ima dump it as low as shell go...

I took pics of it earlier actually...Ill be right back

Im performance>cosmetics all the way(*looks at his offpink engine..sighs*)

But if im going to drive the car as a daily even 3 days a week, it needs to look presentable.

If my car was a pure track slut....and by track slut i mean full on tandem drifting every weekend, trading paint for fun then yeah, i would let its ugliness persist.But mine isnt so it needs to at the very least have a solid color going (harlequins needn't feel bad i still love you).

The performance over cosmetics excuse can only carry you so far.
