240sx shaved and molded all together check it out.

Seriously i think you are doing a good job. With the green glass you are using for that body kit to crack you almost have to crash the car or bottom out real hard.

enough said. its not gonna crack. most of u that are saying that probably have never messed with fiber hair or glass.

Actually i used to be a body work man. And if you actually read my post you will find out i said that the only way it will crack is if you crash or bottom out.

But i would have taken it down to metal and used the real thick fiberglass. And glass the top of that.

[snowyred180]

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware this was 2001.

[93 Chuki FB]

why the f*** do people with the worst taste always get the best platforms to start with? i mean that WAS one of last remaining 240's that had not been molested, and u come along and rape it for hours on end destroying one of the last great things left on this earth. Why couldn't it have been a civic

[White Comet]

dude dont come off so violated. its not like he molested a 69 camaro. you can still get an s13 for under $2k, its not crazy rare

[turbonxsx]

damn i cant think of one bodykit that looks even remotely good on the S13 other then the Jap Spec triple beams front end, but that's my opinion so keep keeping on and if you learn from this that's more important then anything else...

[Hoffman5982]

You should have left it like this.

[poultry180sx]

no updates cause i went on vacation . so its the end of the world cause i destroyed a 240. wow. all i have to say it it will look good when its painted u guys didnt see the red one???

[poultry180sx]

the car was not perfect by the way, you all cant see by the pics but there was dings and dents all over the car lol . chill the f*** out peoples

[NismoS13Ks]

it doesnt look bad. ive seen worse. im sure once its painted it will look good. keep up the good work man.

[astang]

there's been much worse, like molding vader kits and such. this one should look decent after paint. I'm curious as to how the sideskirts look after paint.

[splintercell]

personally i would have got a better looking kit, but its your dime

i personally have a Version Select Type 1 widebody kit. my body guy molded everything, but the front bumper. he used the best products out there injected auto body spray foam into rear quarters to keep them solid. ive put 8-10k miles on my car a year for the last 3 yrs and no cracking. i do not trailer my car nor do i drift, but i do drive it hard especially on 95 and backroads...

ive recently cut off front fenders and got rid of fiberglass front bumper. i plan on DD this car this year so i wanted something more reliable. i bought new metal fenders and full 180sx front end from Nissan dealership. the only part of car molded is the rear now and she is still solid!

[poultry180sx]

wow that looks good. yeah i dont think its gonna crack either. i only have this bumper cause it was cheap as hell, but i changed it and hardly anybody has it that way. i have that same wing too, just not carbon fiber. newest update

[breadbox]

I'd go back to pic #1 and lower it, and up the suspension.

Nice amount of work put in tho. Like Greg said, you will learn about flexing when you drive it hard.

[wingFeather]

LIKE

[poultry180sx]

flex it when i drive it hard lol. lots of people have molded kits. im not the first. wow

[shortmorgan]

Wow I didn't even notice the orange one before.. That's super nice buddy.. The thing with not molding the front is really versitile, because when or if you wanna do motor swaps or any sort of front end repair you can take it off easily.. :ugeek:

[poultry180sx]

thats true.

update

[motorsndesigns1307]

lots of work trust me i know i had to use bondo-hair on mine too so i know how much time and effort into it...
word of advice though the left fender in the front needs to be sanded down a little bit more and maybe more bondo and then again sand it down some more so its straighter , its wavy and will definately show up in the paint....
and what one of the guys said about the glue for the pieces is true too ...if you prep it right it will have less of a chance of cracking

where you have the bondohair with the sideskirt it makes it easier if you went over it with bondo after you sand down the bondo hair a little...makes it easier to get it straight like you want it.

take a look at my post to see mine just so you dont think im just tlakin

[poultry180sx]

o yeah i know theres waves in it right now i just primered it to see what it looked like.

[hatedinthemind]

Good job man. I like this because its different. Dont worry about all the people that are bashing you. There just mad because they think you destroyed a 240sx. Whocares its a 240sx there not that great unless you put alot of money into them.

[centralflZ]

any updates yet?

[C3Sierra_S2000]

Props to you for doing what you like with your own car. Lots of people forget that you build it like you want it. If everyone followed the trend then all the cars would be similar. I personally have never liked molded in bumpers and skirts but like I said its not mine. I do have to join the others in saying that it will crack. Its not a maybe its a definite. You can use panel adhesive on the kit which will greatly diminish movement of the kit but you will still get cracking. These cars are made to flex and will do so if driven at all. You also need to realize that fiberglass and metal expand and contract differently in heat and cold. If done properly, as in using the panel adhesive, it will last longer before it cracks but it will never prevent it. It just always seemed a waste to me to put nice paint on a car when you know the body work is going to fail over time. Not trying to hate on ya, just trying to inform you. Good luck with your build. Looking forward to seeing it with paint.

[poultry180sx]

durrr its gonna crack eventually . not anytime soon. of course in like 5 years or so. all body kits crack also. you only know what you are talking about if u have done it before.

[bllabong89]

good luck man. its your car so don't let the haters get under your skin. I heard s*** from alot of my friends just for buying a body kit so let the haters hate as they say.lol. There was a sick a** s14 with an rb26 in modified i think. He had a molded kit and I'm sure people were talkin s*** on him but look at his car and then the peoples who were hatin. good luck man and I will be following this
