Welcome.

Paint color doesn't match and it looks goofy, you wanted my opinion there ya go. Save up and get yourself a decent paint job and some wheels/coils.

Its awesome your looking all that up yourself. Im tired of people coming on here asking what WE think they should do to their cars. Definitely looks better, seems like your on the right track.

30 dollars?!?! You ***hole!! Ive been looking for a chuki bumper for like a year lol and nissan wants $500. The junkyards around here rarely see s13's, and when they do, they only have parts on them for the first couple hours. Lucky son of a b****.....Good job though. Doesn't look perfect, but like you said its hella better than it was.

Need bumper extension pieces to make it look right, but not bad man... Don't worry about one color, most of the forty's on here are multi-colored...
