Ok I can not make up my mind on what I want to do. So yes I am pretty much asking everyone else what they think. They all look good to me, but point out the flaws or the likes and why you would or wouldn't rock it.

I am doing this because my lip currently is cracked and side skirt got beat up pretty bad. But this is the way it looks. Should I keep this and why or get a new look and why

The origin is very sleek and sexy and would look good with your wheels. With maybe a small spacer in the rear.

alright that helps. at least i know that it will turn more heads with a kit. version select has always been my fav until i came across the origin....then i was stuck but most say the origin. the only prob i have with the origin is the little vents on the front bumper (u can see it in the one pic) im just very picky and not a big air duct fan. especially that one. it seems it serves no purpose. i mean i could get it filled. but really thank you for all of your opinions so far.

The version select is clean as hell, either that or the vertex kit. Both are so clean and smooth

I"m not a fan of body kits, but I think the first version looks damn good on an S14 with proper stance and wheel-to-well relationship, But my conservative a** would fix what you got now, I would feel like "Brett Favre" in this situation. If you got the $$ and proper paint shop then 1st kit is a go

I'd go with the version select. I had the origin and i liked it. but at some angles it would look wayy too aggressive. but at other angles it would look subtle and awesome.

EDIT:: either kit is fine, I like VS but I see why people like origin. honestly wheels are what make the difference.

but you need wheels of that caliber to impress upon viewers.

when i first saw the thread i was like omg not another bodykit thread and was expecting to see some hideous ebay kits. but when i saw the kits you posted i was pleasantly suprised.

i think either way you go would look awesome. they both look pretty similar to me.

I agree with you that they look pretty similar (pics below). I think alot of people are saying the origin because of the quality of the pictures. but all of your opinions are helping

thats what I thought!

they look nice from here... I cant see how youre's line up with the fender, buy agressive wheel fitment is champion.

as long as you've got that going, either kit is fine.... they're both so similiar.

yeah, having a kit without aggressive fitment looks like poop usually.

nothing wrong with the nismo wheels just that the sizes arent usually agressive enough.

to make it more aggressive i could go with a spacer on the back. i just dont want to throw those wheels to someone else. it took me a while to find those

i know how you feel. im not into big wheels and i like my 15" racing harts but the offset was kinda bleh. threw on some 2 inch spacers in the back and some 1.5's up front and its total sex now. well to me they are but thats all that matters.
