Bodykit...thoughts.

[BadMojo]

So, my dad has been gracious enough to help me get my 240SX repainted this spring (ie. he'll through in some money) since his quest for a Corvette fell through.

Since I'm getting a repaint, I've been considering the S13 bodykit sold by PDM-Racing (sideskirts, rear valance) along with their front underspoiler.

Any thoughts on the look and quaility of these pieces?

I'd also like to get my hands on this wing (GP Sports 3 piece) but can't find it...any thoughts on this?

I like the color of the fastback in that pic you posted. Very interesting, its like a dark metallic olive (i'm so deprived of color with my white car)

Anyhow, what about the wangan wing that PDM has? Don't like it? I do like the wing in that pic though.. very flush. I envy you, my car wants a paint job too. I like the stuff from PDM, good choice!

Thats pretty clean. I dont like the fog lights though. Maybe if the others were clear as well it would look better.

I don't really like the Wangan...too big for me. Looks like a surf board back there.

It was very cool of my dad to offer to help pay for a paint job. I'll stick with the OE red paint to save money, get the stupid black stripe removed and then go with a mild body kit.

Hell, I'll have my credit cards paid off by then. I'll just charge ****.

Looks good. Clean, doesn't look too big or fake or RICE. That spoiler is pretty nice, too--and I hate spoilers.

any ideas on whether or not the 180sx type X spoiler will fit on a coupe? i luv that spoiler

[scepter]

do you guys know if anyone makes poly urathane body kits for a s13? i've been looking and all i see is fiber glass :\

[[Zero-S]]

If you get a fiberglass one (*cough*knockoff*cough*), it can be modified. I don't know what it would look like on a coupe tho.

[BadMojo]

So, you guys think this looks decent from the front?



Unfortunately, the whole body kit itself isn't expensive but shipping from Canada is a real *****.

The under spoiler and the side skirts I like, but I'm not sure what the rear valance is. The rear in the pictures looks like a normal S13 to me...am I missing something?

As to the GP Sports Spoiler...I found a price for one today. It's almost $500 excluding shipping across the country.

Anyone know of a good knock-off of that GP Sports spoiler?

oh yea, like the GP SPorts spoiler.

Everyone has their oppinions on stuff and mine is if it's not functional, leave it off. If it wont improve your drivability or decrease track times don't get it. More than likely all a bodykit will do is add weight and have a neglegable improvement on drag coef. In some cases it can make that drag worse.

That body kit doesn't look too bad though. That spoiler has to go and that front clip now looks a mile tall.

But like I said at the beginning. It's just my oppinion and shouldn't matter what you do with your car. I was just adding in my .02 since you asked.
