All i can say is im glad they gave me the color i requested :rolleyes



Aero bumper baby, i haven't seen one of these in the U.S. yet. I didnt request it, but hey i'll take it because it is so clean looking, it matches the body lines.

Triple beam projectors, cool.

There are no dents anywhere on any of parts but here in the center of the hood, where it looks like someone beat it with a hammer.

The whole thing is only held on by like 6 screws, but after everything is tightend down it looks like it will line up well.

Oh yeah, and the only reason it looks like its so high off the ground is because there is no motor in the engine bay ;) I have sportlines on there so it should look sick when its all put back together and painted.

Awesome looking dude. If the hood is beyond repair, guess it's time to get a CF one or something. Oh, and that aero bumper (only an option on silvia K's) is one of the most sought after silvia bumpers. I wouldn't complain too much about the color, Jarco hooked you up! I would keep it stock and maybe add a 240 zenki lip on the bottom of that = HOT!

That hood looks beat to S***. Get a CF one. I have a bomex lip for sale but I don't think it will fit the aero bumper. You want it anyway?:D

Im not complaning about the color at all, i think its funny cause my car looks so ghetto right now (JDM tyte ghetto of course). I am really excited about the bumper, as soon as i took off the wraping paper i couldnt belive it. I dont think im going to get a lip for now unless i get sideskirts, because the lines match up really good.

As far as the hood, i might get carbon fiber just because the thing is so damn heavy, (its no easy lifting a big metal panal on the the top of your car without denting/breaking anything. And im lazy :pface )

So what do you guys think: Paint the whole thing white, paint the whole thing black, or paint it white but leave the roof black (strange, cool AND difforent) because i really like the black on white theme the bumper has.

Damn man your car is going to be ridiculously nice when you're done with it. I have no idea how you can afford like EVERY part everyone on NICO wants, pretty much all at the same time. If it's some scam or somethin I want in on it haha :D

Step one: Amass giant pile of money

Step two: Spend giant pile of money all at once fullfilling every herion adiction-like craving for car parts you have had for the last 2 years. :)

krazy skwerel: This was $1100 shipped, which is a pretty good package deal concidering what you get.

blast. step 1 seems to be giving me some trouble....

I dont know if I could handle spending all that much money at once... if I had all the money you must've had (what, must've been like $6 or 7 k), I definetly would be questioning myself... arrugh small and slow takes longer, but at least the pain of money spent isn't so harsh...

Jarco is the best JDM supplier IMO. One of my friends bought an S14 clip back in February and it was beautiful and included all panels, gauge cluster w/true mileage and a bunch of bonus items on the floor. I bought a Fujitsubo exhaust around the same time for my S13 and they offered to throw it on the truck with the clip so I didn't have to pay for shipping. I think the guys name is Tim or Jim that we dealt with. You can't go wrong with those guys.

your probably talking about bill. yeah when they ship out clips, they dont take all the good stuff off. Chances are you'll get every single peice of aftermarket equipment on there unless it is something really expensive.

Let me jsut say to everyone, you get what you pay for, and the buisnesses i have bought from may not be the cheapest, but they are guaranteed to give you your money's worth (http://www.heavythrottle.com, http://www.phase2motortrend.com and http://www.jarcoinc.com is where i buy ALL of my stuff, i have bought from http://www.enjukuracing.com and http://www.jspec.com as well and they have great service).
