I was just thinking earlier and wondered Should I keep my Kaminari lip kit or should I go 180sx kouki??? Your opinion would be very appreciated.

What you guys think?

I'd say definitely keep it. Looks pretty good, possibly apart from the front from certain angles, and I've not seen one like that in quite a long time.

Yuck. Too much lip in the front and rear, to plain on the sides...

I'd say go with 180 stock equipment.

This is what I want to do eventually. The only angle I really like my lip at is the front....

You, my friend, have an unhealthy obsession with vacuum cleaners.

Please attempt to find a lip that doesn't stick out like a Jewish nose.

now there's a lip you don't see often. i'd keep it just for the sake of being the only one with it. the 180 front would be more aesthetically pleasing but i say use what you have now as it is already painted and on the car. as suggested above, work on getting kouki sideskirts if anything.

I think the kit is too much.

I also think that you should build your car for YOU and no one else. Put whatever you want on it, it's yours. Dont ask people what you should put on there or what looks good.

I want to paint it anyways because its off white and I want pure white. LoL I really didn't like the kit when I first got the car. A matter of fact I hated it. But I think the only reason I dont mind it now is because I have had it for a year and a half. I love the idea of 180sx kouki. Do it subaru black, and slam it.

Keep the Lip....Get the Kouki sideskirts.....Personally I would change those rims.....Go with a Obsidian Black (Infiniti color) and have the Painter add a Micro Sequence flake....Very Eye catching especially in the bright sun, Subaru Black is just a little boring That's just my opinion....... Oh and a definate YES on your dream car look as far as that Wing on the back is concerned Very nice The slope rear deck is just not that appealing 4 me anyway....But as the one person said..."It's your concept...You are the one that looks at it everyday, Do what you think looks good....But remember when people see you in that car they see your style and artistic flavor!!![/[IMG][/IMG]U]

Man I have no clue. I would have to wait till I get A new kit myself before I sell my lip because there is nothing left of my stock bumper.... I had to make room for a 29x12x3.5 intercooler.

My vote goes that you should keep your current aero and spend the money on wheels. Looks good other than the wheels IMO. But hey, it's your car.

It's better than NO wing,,,,still like the one pictured on your black dream car the best....It looks like JET Fins very Bitchin...As for the wing on there now, as I said before the slope wingless trunk deck just looks unfinished. So something to me is better than nothing Again this is only my personal style and Taste....But it is looking tastier than it looked in previous pix. "~_~"

I think the car looks great with that kit. I would change the wheels, but keep the kit, it's nice.

OP, the lip is not what is making you question the love u have for the car.

I think it is the wheel size. With bigger wheels that would fill the wheel well and then bigger tires i think you would like the look you have A LOT better.

not as much as 18"s all around but like 18's back and 17's front and enough tire to fill up that well. It will raise the car and at the same time lower it. I cant explain it. But i think it looks great, That black car is sick too though Good Luck when getting to that part. That looks like something you would see at night crawling closer and closer to you on the highway in your rear view mirror " New Challenger approaches". You know like when you are playing a game and someone puts tokens in and presses start? "new challenger"? no? no one gets what i am getting at?

Cool.....

car looks great. i love the clean look. with some bigger wheels and a roll and pull on stock fenders, it will look bitchin.

if you decide to change the look though, i will buy your sideskirts.where did you get them? are they oem 180sx?

I'm not gonna lie dude. I don't like that lip at all. The lip doesn't flow well with the boxy lines that the pignose has. Honestly, out of all the aftermarket pignose lips I've ever seen (i.e. early HyperRev 180sx mags), the OE one looks the BEST. Otherwise, get a different bumper that has lines that don't look confused.
