What body kit do you guys think looks the best on a 97-98? I've almost got the front end finished on mine and I'm thinking of which bumper to get, so if you could post some pics and give me some info on where you got your bumpers.... Thanks,Billy

just picking up a few clues you guys might have dropped on your way...

Can't comment much on the black car becaus e it's difficult to make out the details. Looking just by the sideskirts it's a badly designed kit. I mean, there you have this giant flab of boxy moulding hanging off the side of the car, when the car itself conforms to an oval shape.

It's cheap fiberglass that costs 80 dolalrs to reproduce; it will crack with the slightest touch; it is only suitable for show use; hence, it is rice.

The Drift kit is awful as well. Did the maker become lazy toward the end and forget about a grille? ...I wouldn't waant people to be looking at those pos OEM horns and leaves in my radiator after spending 2k+ on body work. In addition, there's no place to mount the rubber liner under the front end of the hood. This results in a 1" gap. It's cheap fiberglass; you'll manage to magle it up down the road somehow, trusty me. It is rice.

Those clear turn signals are crap. The plastic will fade quickly. One of mine even broke a seal and began to develop condensation. It's cheap, comparable to ARC crap sold on ebay. It is rice.

On top of that, if these bumpers do not allow you to use the factory absorber, they will ruin upon the slightest bump or minor accident. You can only use them to park your car and take pictures of it. It is rice.

the OEM aero package from nissan is not rice. They were designed to market the car, to make it look appealing; not to make a quick buck off little ricer kids. As for pics...you know what to do.

rfiberglass is aalright interms of quality. theres a difference between cheaply made and high quality.

i also dont like clear corners at all

i prefer jdm kouki body parts. skirts, bumper, grill, rear valence, spoiler etc.. but thats pretty expensive to do. and if it isnt painted or if any of the parts are missing itll look goofy to me.
