Rear valances wouldn't hurt either.

as stated above...coilovers, wheels, and rear valances would make your car look much better. the rear valances arent a must but it would help a lot

Don't do it. Get rid of them and buy right ones. What you have are for hatchback. You need side skirts from silvia aero version. Line flows better with them and you won't regret after you get rear valances.

And buy my rear valances.

^ Im pretty sure the actual silvia ones are a lot harder to find; at least it was for me, especially in the condition those look to be.

Like I mentioned, it took me a long time to find my oem skirts, and I did want the oem silvia ones, but ended up settling for a set of 180sx chukis in uber pristine condition.

btw, your cars looking nice.. keep up the good work!

I've sold 2 pairs of silvia aero side skirts and believe or not, both buyers already had hatchback chuki side skirts on their s13. They realized later and bought silvia aero side skirts from me. At least you guys know what you are buying, but before people thought all s13 side skirts were same.

I just checked your thread. These valances won't do any good. You need something that stands out more. s13 aero valances are too subtle for your car. They won't do any good on OP's car either. I think s13 OEM rear valances look good only with aero side skirts.

EDIT: Trying to stay on topic.

skirts look good. your sidewalls look to be too short, though.

The sidewalls looks short? I don't get it.

I love how Rota Grids looks on coupes. The new paint job looks so yummy! Your car looks lower now. Did you get springs/coilover?

That's what I thought you meant too, but was confused because usually people run less sidewall than that with aftermarket wheels.

ok, i know what you mean now.iI think hes talking about how it would fil the well better. yea, i agree, but the rims came with the tires so ill just have to deal with it. Im kinda wishing i had 17 x 9's now. but i want the same rim. maybe just in the rear?

honestly the whole thing realy comes together in a flat parking. lot looks alot better and lower from my eye view form what it looks like on camera.

umm, well, i used to have another 240 i bought for parts. got it for 400$ becuase i wanted the 5spd setup in it. It also had some coilovers in it. So i thought "why not". I can at least lower the car. ittle look a million times better. Rode pretty dam rough becuase the front dampners are leaking and there ksports... and the previous guy who owned the car tightened the shiit out of the preload on the springs.

After about 8 times adjusting the hieght, preload, dampening settings and the right tire pressure. It got pretty tollerable. so now i can still ge tout of my drive way, I should totally post a pic of it so you guys saying it shoudl be lower, will understand why its not any lower.

The Freeway is not very fun over 65 on wavy freeways. the car doing this fakin bouncing s*** from the front and rear. which again is ksports fualt. Im gonna have to get some better coilovers or switch to a lowering spring and strut combo when I can afford it.
