You need a big *** FMIC in that front airdam. And a nice turbo charger to hook up to it.Looks good.

Im going turbo regardless. Im not done building my motor yet, but for now, i have just about all the bolt ons (except header), and a 75 shot. my current front facia is busted up from an accident, so I would like some opinions of what i should have the outside of the car look like

this is what the car currently looks like

well the ibi kit is horrendous, i don't understand why anyone has bought it. The kaminari is a good quailty and also good looking. I don't know what that second front is, but it's also horrible. If anything, go with a vis front and sides.

I say get the rest of the car painted, change the rims, and then think about it. I'm always up for a little lip or something, but what you've got would look fine if it all matched.

I agree with nametakennow. Just paint the car black or White with the Volk Rims form top serect that would be cool.

I don't see how you haven't heard of the vis kit. It's probably my favorite kit for a 1st gen. That was the kit I would have put on my altima when I had it if I were to get a kit. But if I were you, go with a stock front, with a strada bb front lip, se side skirts, and keep the rear you have. Then paint the entire car black with some nice gunmetal/black rims. Get some 95-97 stock tails. Those clear/red look ricer. Also, auto-manual swap.

paint it a deep glossy black and the tailights wouldn't be bad on it.

I personally would get a nice lip for it and not be in fear of parking space islands all my life...

Go back to stock. That first picture you posted, I almost shat myself. Talk about unpleasant.
