of course that kit would look nice, but you have to get it painted also.. the stickers don't look that bad... i plan on getting a similar one... but im doing a full 180sx conversion and getting everything from the rims down to the rear 1/4 panels and the blacktop

just as hard as any other high quality body kit. either take it to a body shop or use fasteners. it should fit like a glove, its a very good kit. one of the best for the 180/240hb.

Another question is do I have to get different turn signal lamps, I can't tell if they are the J-spec or the 91 lights.

no those lamps should fit if you have the '90 "pignose" front bumper with the rectangular lights

yeah, lat is right. the 89-90 turn signals are the ones you'd use. and i dont know if mounting hardware is included. but the front and back should bolt right up. the side skirts are a little different though.

Sorry it took so long to ask another question but i had finals all week. I am seriously leaning towards this body kit and was wondering if a mesh grill would look alright, or is there any other ways to hide the ugly 2 fans? Is there any other sites that sell the kit cheaper? Do I have to weld the new spoiler on and are the side skirts a pain to do? Sorry for all the questions , but it would be helpful in purchasing the kit thanks all, corey

the mesh would hide the fans, but an intercooler would do a better job at hiding them..:D the side skirts can be a pain to put on, it all depends on how you want to do it and the quaility of the kit. and the spoiler should bolt right up using some or all of the stock holes, unless you dont have an SE. then you would need to drill holes for it.

Mesh grill would look good probably, you could get a "replica" kit but they usually fit like **** and generally dont look as good, the spoiler should just bolt on with a few holes drilled into the rear hatch

I am gonna get the GP sports kit which is posted above in the post. Are ther holes in the middle of the trunk from the previous spoiler? What do you mean the style of the side skirts?

If you car was an SE, then it does have 4 holes in the top of the hatch lid. and who were you directing the skirt style question to?

i don't know if mine is an se or not, it has the rubber style spoiler going across the trunk not raised. I was just wondering on the body kit i posted on , how hard do u think the side skirts will be to put on from looking at the picture?

the spoiler is generally a sign of an SE... but it should also say "SE" on the right side in the rear. If you have alloys and a front underspoiler as well, its probably an SE.

It doesn't say se on the rear, but it does have that flat rubber spoiler. How do i patch the holes that will show from the new spoiler?

So I don't need the sr20det for the body kit, i could use mesh right? the sr20det would be cool but i can't afford that too, so i am gonna just go with mesh, or a different body kit.

Do you recommend any other body kits or websites that will fit awsome , don't worry about the price.
