240SX Body Kits

Post by **Wakkolio** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

btw snakeyes do you have the invoice number from vis, just so if i order from them they would know what i want.

Thanks

i paid $515 all together, which to me is a great price given the bumper cost 48,000yen. depending on the yen rate it may change. but i'm pretty sure if you just tell them u want the Flash body kit from G-Coporation they'll know what u're talking about because they just got done with mine. I'm going down there sometime this week to pick it up, hopefully tomorrow if i can get off work early enough. i'm still a bit worried since i heard that VIS is pretty good at getting really close knock-offs, which i heard after i ordered with them, but i was assured that they were ordering the kit from japan, sure took long enough to get here!!! i'll put up another message once i actually get the bumper in my hands and put it up on the car

could you inform us on the estimates for painting the body kit and for installing it? i have a kaminari that i want to put on but i would like to know a ballpark figure for painting and installing. thanks.

Thanks snakeyes let me know how the kit is. $515 is not bad at all considering that i was about to place my order for a full bomex kit at 1400.

I actually went with a full Msport kit to begin with, just a 180 kit, but my brother talked me into doing the sil80 since i had half the pieces for it anyways, so my entire kit cost me around 1,300 when u think about it, plus i have a 180 front bumper that i have no use for either

Post by **Snakeyes39** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

alright, i just picked up the bumper. it looks pretty authentic to me, if it's a knock-off it's a damn good one, hahaha i really doubt that it is. still haven't been able to fit it to the car because i gotta cut some of it for the IC to fit. if u're interested in just about any bumper from japan, i'm pretty sure they'll be able to order it. best thing about it is they don't charge u a shipping fee. but it'll take somewhere like 6 to 7 weeks to get in. instead of my bumper, why not get this 180 one, i haven't seen anyone in the states use this

i kinda like the way they use the S14 signals instead

do you have an s13 or s14 snake eyes?

Post by **Snakeyes39** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

i have an 180, but i had half of the s13 face when i got to the states and i just decided to grab the rest of it to make a sil80

Post by **Jookmasta** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

and you have the same 180 bumper from the link above thats on that red car? and your not using that bumper?

Post by **Snakeyes39** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

no, i actually have this Msport one just sitting around that i'm not using. i just thought it'd be nice to share that bumper with u guys cuz i think it's one of the best i've seen and i doubt anyone in the states has it

http://www.autoimaging.com/d-s...g.jpgthat's the one i got, and i haven't seen anyone here with this one either

Post by **Wakkolio** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

I would get that 180sx bumper but like you i have all the parts already minus the bumper for a projector conversion. Thanks for the info. How long did it take you to get your kit ?

Thanks

Snakeyes: Just want to make sure about one more thing. Is the front a full bumper or just a lip?

Thanks

Post by **Snakeyes39** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

it's a full front bumper and it took around 7 weeks to get in, are u planning on getting the same one???

Post by **Jookmasta** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

are u gonna sell that msport one?

Post by **Snakeyes39** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

i'm still debating that right now, i'll have to get back to u on that one alright

Post by **Jookmasta** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

ok. let me know

Post by **91s13hatch** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

you should call up speed alliance.. they just got a new shipment of VERTEX kits in and they are selling fairly cheap.

i ordered my Vertex sides and rear bumper from them and it was like $1285 i believe. thats like 200 bucks cheaper than autoimaging.com ..you should check that out, its more expensive but its worth it.

also, they told me it would be 5-7 days for shipping, thats all.

Post by **Snakeyes39** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

man, that's a lot for just sides and rear. that's usually the price for the entire kit

Post by **mjc2380** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

any one know where to get the headlight kit to replace the flip ups with regular style not strawberry face just like the veilsides

Post by **Snakeyes39** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

i know jspec sells the eastbear style ones...http://jspec.com/eastbears13.html

and then there's another japanese group it might be called all round or something like that, they sell them and they also sell new kits for the sleepy headlight style, which i haven't seen in the states yet. i'll see if i can't find that website...

Has anyone ever seen this body kit in person. I need a new front end and am going to be doing the Silvia Conversion and I knda like this kit. Not as ricey as some but yet still aggressive. Does anyone know of the quality of the Veilside kits or are they junk. ( I see too many Honda boys with their crappy fitting kits around town) Any help would be great

if i had the cash to spend i wouldn't mind going veilside, but then i think it's a little too flashy for me though. but yes veilside is a very respected company.

i have a 98 and was wondering wat to do with my stock lights when i get a body kit. are there any kits that use the stock turn signals, if not where do i get the JDM and how much are they. Also what would i do wit my fog lights just disconnect them?

Post by **smokdoutinpismo** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

i know they dont make crap. there one of japan's "great" car tuners. i'm a fan and just because they shoulded up in fast and furious alot dont doubt the powers that be.

Post by **goshoryuken** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

The last link http://www.importfan.com/produ...=3230 is a link to a rear bumper for a toyota supra . . . you should take that one out.

this is by far my favourite

URAS FRP Type 1 AERO

Hey, Ab-Flug makes a head-light conversion for the S13/180sx that's also like the Eastbear. It's called the Grim Head-light kit. Expensive as hell though, ($1k plus). Just if you wanted to be different then the Eastbear-wearers...

Post by **goshoryuken** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

It looks a lot better than the east bear lights and it's of higher quality. If it costs more . .it's usually because there's more work put into it which gives you higher quality. Those grim head lights are the ones I want on my 240 after all the motor work is done. Hope they still make em by then :-O

Post by **dr!ft** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:21 pm

Check here for the Ab-Flug stuff...
