So about 2 weeks ago, one of our 240sx moderators, MagikDragon got in touch with me about looking at a body kit that he wanted. It was an Ings kit for his s13 and the seller was unwilling to ship. Well it turns out that the seller lived about 2 1/2 hours south of me, so we worked a deal and yesterday myself and my girlfriend, NSR240sxe, hit the road to go pick it up.

We took one of the Ford Focus' knowing that was our best bet to fit a body kit in.

So we hit the road in the focus...

And hit some construction

And ran into some rain...

Then it got darker and rained some more

While driving we enjoyed some Red Bull, a candy bar, and tiny bits of Doritos after Steph stepped on the bag

Look! Its an unbroken chip!

The body kit pick up crew

Oh yeah....and it rained even harder

Spotted a kitted kia with an exhaust that had like 20 crush bends in an attempt to make it center exit

Oh.....what is this? A brewery?

Finally into Columbus

So we met the guy at the Walmart and loaded the kit into the car. Didn't snap pics of loading it into the car as we were occupied with trying to make it fit. Who woulda thunk that an s13 rear bumper and side skirts would be so damn big?

Steph didn't have much in the way of leg room on the way back. She says Sean is gonna owe her a drink in Carlisle

I took a bite out of the directions when the kit was being difficult at fitting in the car

So we got it in the car, and Steph had an expensive headrest on the way home



By now it was like 8pm so we were gonna grab some dinner. Came across one of these in a very hispanic neighborhood. I think we were the only english speaking people there when we went in

But there was a hobby shop in the shopping center behind it and I snagged this

A couple hours later we got home and unloaded the kit and put it in my garage. Here's a couple pics of it.Its real

And here's what it would look like on an s13, Sean got just the rear and sides since he has an s15 front on his hatch.

We had fun, and it was an enjoyable time all around (even with Steph having no leg room ) MagikDragon will get his kit at Carlisle as I'm just tossing it in the car trailer with the Z.

Thanks for looking!

Jerry you are the Man.

Steph Thanks for being such a good sport and I can't wait to meet you both at Carlisle.

Too bad there was no more room left at the ramada, so we are at the Hampton, but close enough they are all on the same street.

That trip looked like so much fun.

Thanks again guys!

Looks like a fun trip. I remember making a big road trip from south Florida to Nashville, TN once. We were helping REALLY good family friends move. Ride there was fun, the ride back was boring.

What happend to the other pictures?
