My car is now at the point that if I don't add extremely aggressive aero it will just look incomplete.

I am in need of your help to explore the best aero options for my car. I've obviously seen enough S13's with body kits to make my head explode, but I'd love to get some discussion going on my car's looks and where you'd go from this upgrade juncture.

If you aren't familiar with my 240, it's a White 1989 Coupe with an S13 Silvia front end. I'm already set on getting an APR GT-II Aluminum Wing for performance purposes, and will be building a custom front-splitter after I've chosen the new front bumper.

What I need your help in choosing:

- Front Bumper
- Side Skirts
- Rear Bumper
- CF Hood Style

I'll start with and leave the voting list open as long as you folks keep it on topic .

If this was your car, what would you do?

1. get rid of those goofy fenders you have now.
2. get some basic 30mm wide fenders. A single vent in front is the best. Multiple vents are dumb.
3. Get a very simple kit. "aggressive" kits suck. Origin Stylish or Stream would be ideal. Very simple. Not expensive. Fits fine.
4. A hood... M sports hood or DMAX hood.

thanks.

post pics when done.

This is good advise.

IMO, I say modest kit with 30mm wide fenders. It'll complete it against the proposed wing.

like your originally planned.

paint flares.

race it until it blows up into a million pieces.

i'd do a nice dry carbon hood, if you're serious. Or else just buy a fiberglass hood, vented would be be nice. whatever you get, paint it to match the body. unpainted carbon is for 16 year olds.

I think the car is really clean. Tough call... I'd love to see something really clean, simple, and subtle on it. This is a track car, right? A clean front bumper or lip with a splitter and some oem sides would look perfect IMO. It's almost too clean to put a kit on... I will get hated on for saying that, but that's what I think.

I don't think there is much chance of "doing it different" these days. There are only so many options out there. All of them have been done. Most are done s***ty. Some are done nice.

KA-T Coming SOON I'm F'ing Excited

Lower it.

The Origin Stylish is definitely at the top of my list. Not getting rid of the flares, though hehe. As crazy as it sounds, I just really don't want the over-fender look.

Underbody aero. splitters wings like your originally planned. paint flares. race it until it blows up into a million pieces. i'd do a nice dry carbon hood, if you're serious.

Haha well the underbody aero, splitter, and wings will be going on still. Flares shall be painted, too. Racing, too. Blowing up... I hope not... lol.

Maybe I'm just a newb, but I can't find a dry carbon hood for the s13 silvia. I was really going for a new hood because I need some venting action.

I definitely see where you're coming from. That was my original intent, and still a possibility.

Matt, hit me up with your decisions

Will do.

i would personally leave it as it sits, but if anything i would go with this one, its probably one of the cleanest IMO

Not shabby, but I dunno if that one is what I'm looking for.

You fail at reading.
If you bondo the flares they look like part of the fender rather than a separate piece added. Its called molding them in.

Kind of a bad job, but you get the idea.

Yeah.... then the bondo might crack one day and you get a big fat crack in the bondo AND paint. get it?

You can't bondo something like that. It will crack very easily, keep in mind this is a track car. Those flares are hideous either way, I vote over fenders, lip, skirts and valances. I would have just kept the body stock. OP, I don't know why you did that to your car but eh, whatever floats your boat.

Don't know if that's what you're looking for but it's a good looking kit. Plus it only costs about 1000 for the full kit (plus shipping which I'm sure will be a lot unless you know somebody that can hook you up)

Matt, yours and Broadfield's are my favorite 240s on NICO. Why?, because they're clean and simple. Don't mess with a good thing.

Thanks! My car is definitely not as clean as it was when I bought it... I've been beating the crap out of it for about a year now, and it shows.

No worries. No molding will be done. lol

Well, you have to cut your fenders anyways when you do over-fenders... Either way, the cutting had to be done. The flares on there right now can be removed in 5 minutes, so it's not like it can't be undone if I don't like it.

Overfenders are just very "drifty" IMHO, which isn't a terribly bad thing, but I'm just not that into it .

i hear the dmax hoods have good fitment. i'd probably just buy a fiberglass one of theirs in vented form.

This is what I'm leaning towards. The dry carbon stuff is just silly expensive, and I'm not THAT concerned with the weight up front... the RB will be turning into a 13b for weight savings someday...

Damn, you don't want my hood. Anyone else want my hood? lol

They'll get paint as soon as the rest of the body work is ready. I need to have my roof damage repaired, too.

Hood pins are your friend. I'll throw some in if you buy my hood!

I agree with this man, completely!

OEM!, subtle lip, and OEM sides & rears.

Car is already amazing. Turn the cockpit into a spaceship!

Good luck in whatever you do!

Pics of said hood in thread?

Just because an ugly chick is good at giving head, it doesn't automatically make her good looking.... Broadfield's thought of the day.

Continue on with the weight saving and remove the wheels and brakes too. With a 13b in there it's never really going to move on it's own power.

Meh, you may be jaded from your experience with rotaries. :P Bottom line is:

- I save 350-400lbs.
- If built correctly, I can use the motor for at least 3-4 seasons.
- I can make 400-500 whp with the same amount of torque in a 22xx lbs. car.

It's either the rotary or something similarly light that will be powering the beast...

Haha yeah, it flew up and smacked into my windshield at 120-130 mph. I miss that shiny carbon hood.

Just another reminder that the little stuff matters when you're going fast.

I changed my mind about your hood. Spare parts are always a good idea...

I'd love to buy the hood if the price is right, actually. Shoot me an email with a great offer (talk to Bumnah for an idea, he's pro at striking awesome deals), and I'll send you some dough.

I'll just modify the hood to be vented and allow a slot for the strut tow-hook I'm putting on.
