I know you may or may not like Leds (other wise know as NEONS but leds take less power) I want a good underbody kit and I am getting another 240 that is white, I wanted blue to be the undercar color, and have blue racing strips.

I cant decide on what would look the best, since I wanted blue but its illegal to have on the street.Which color for under car kit?

Uber neons are one thing, but "racing" stripes are a whole 'nother. Please, stick with the lights to impress the high schoolers and whatnot, but no stripage. =\

im not doing it to impress the high schoolers (im out of high school by the way.) I like the look of racing strips and the led's. If I didnt I wouldnt buy them.

I'm not trying to be a d!ck but i'm goin with seva, racing stripes are simply not for a 240, i'm not a big fan of LEDS or neons or anything alike (by the way, up here in PA any underbody kits are illegal, u sure only blue is illegal in SC?) but red LEDs be ok, white and red are cool, but please, no stripes.

oh no I was jsut saying I wanted blue but they are illegal. The only lights illegal here are red and blue, you can have them on if they are not that color but you cant be able to see the bulbs.

carbon fiber hood unpainted along with a carbon fiber trunk unpainted as well? Not as cheap as some racing stripes, but nowhere near as cheesy.

^ To add on to his idea, paint the roof and A-pillars black or a color that matches the carbon fiber well. Personally, I think it looks awesome, but have a look for yourself...

Blue leds. I am not much on carbon fiber. Mostly, I am not much for paying for a carbon fiber hood. :) I am sorta a cheap bastard. So, I say do the ram air mod to your hood, like in the how to section of 240sx.org. It looked pretty good, and didn't look too hard, nor too expensive.

Just a thought.

Racing stripes don't belong on a 240. Matter of fact, they don't belong on any car except something like Vipers that came with them etc. As far as LED's, I won't go into my rant about those. The inventor should be shot.....several times.....at close range. I say put your money elsewhere.

Just curious (somewhat off-topic) but does anyone have pictures of a black S13 with a carbon fiber hood? I'm interested in seeing if I like the combo.

Gracias. :)

I am not a big fan of carbon fiber unpainted...you could say I kinda hate it in certain chassis.... and I thought the same about racing stripes 'till I saw them well done:

Well, if you look in the second pic, it clearly states "jdmrice.com". Try going there for info. :pface

The flares are from PJ Bonifacio Pain & Auto Body, located in the City of Industry, California. Supposedly, he does amazing body work on cars and is quite skilled in what he does. And just for the hell of it, here's the most recent version of that car...



Not a fan of the color...

In my opinion, nothing is rice as long as it'll blow your mind performance wise. You can have the biggest non-functional wing and all the LEDs in the world, but if you run 11 and less in the quarter mile you got my approval.
