[pollitoboy]

type X:


OR NISMOStyle;


and this is how my car sits currently!!

thatnks guys

[badbob2121]

i would go type x... but its your car, and totally your personal preference

[laxands13]

I'm with bob, type x is sexy. That nismo bumper doesn't flow IMO.

[SoCal-S13]

type x ftw. and plz buy oem. not aftermarket kit. they just dont look the same. oem ∞> aftermarket

[SX APPEAL]

Neither, Nismo looks funny and the type x is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO played out on these cars. I swear every other car in the "best looking" S13s thread has the type x bumper, don't they make any other tasteful body kits at all for these cars?

no. body/aero kits look stupid. stay with the chuki/pignose. or buy a honda. plenty of kits for those.

[SX APPEAL]

Fair enough, and I know its just the lingo we use but I still refuse to call them "aero" kits. There's nothing "aero" about them, just for looks.

How is an OEM bumper "played out" exactly?

Screw the Nismo, go Type-x.

they are "played out" because they were not offered in the US. and these half a** aftermarket replicas people buy that dont clear correctly and need to be "fitted" are the reason it is "played out". and when you drive around in a 180 thats exactly what it is every time you get in it, even if you just wanna go buy some milk its an obnoxious looking japanese rice burner with a huge wing and flashy gay looking bumpers with "PULL ME OVER" written all over it. it can never blend in and just be a car. its like a Ferrari F430 vs a Mercedes SL65. Have you ever driven by an F430 and not noticed it? f*** no, but I can guarantee youve driven by the 650hp Mercedes on the freeway and not even seen it. The Mercedes can eat the Ferrari for breakfast in a race, but it can also just be a normal car and blend in when you dont feel like Michael Schumacher.

I'm not sure what the badly fitting body kits have to do with the type-x.
But if Type-x is considered "played out" due to the fact it is not offered in the US, then your S15 seats are played out, all 180sx/Silvia sideskirts are played out, all JDM valences are played out, and all JDM spoilers are played out.
And if it's for the fact that a lot of people have done it then...

Chuki with pignose/homedepot/xenon lip are played out
Pignose with a lip is played out
Silvia/Sileighty conversions are played out
S14 kouki conversions are played out
And etc...
Everything has been done a billion times and people will say that they are played out.

Who cares.
If it looks good, more people will put it on their cars, people need to stop worrying about that stuff and go with what looks good, or we'll end up with ugly cars.

I was waiting for that one...

Like I said, do what you want. I didn't think I'd be personally attacking the whole S13 community by sharing an opinion

[Razi]

You weren't. Calm yourself. :P

[pollitoboy]

yo razi how u blow ur motor?

[Razi]

I never blew up my motor, haha.
The headgasket leaked once though.

[Crazyirish]

If you get a type-x front(my personal favorite for a hatch), ditch the side skirts you have. Type-x is best if you do it all around.

[mixeds14]

go with the type x, it seems to flow a bit better with the rest of it than the other one...
