ok, my front and rear bumpers are messed up, and i have a knock in my quarterpanel that could be covered with a sideskirt, so im gonna buy a body kit instead of fixing my busted stuff. good idea huh :p anyway I am trying to get the cheapest thing that still fits / dosent look like piss. anyway here is what i have come up with

The front bumper and sideskirts of this bomex kit

but with the holes filled in like this

and on the rear bumper, i am not sure what i am going to do yet. Bomex only has the rear little attachment pieces and i need a full bumper replacment. I am thinking maybe a nismo ripoff rear bumper from vis. What do you guys think?

also, does this plan sound good, or should i save up for a hipposleek or maybe an uras kit? i love the look of this one and i think this one is cool too

lemmie know what you guys think, also please let me know if you know a place with good prices!

The last one looks like it's wearing a dress. You sure you don't want to just fix your current bumper? Also, the 97 sideskirts look good, check those out. Consider the inconvenience of having your car so low to the ground. Like hitting curbs and stuff.

Importfan.com has a lot of different kits, mirrors everythign a drifter/ricer well any style anyone is looking for. Pretty cheap prices for their knock offs of name brand kits. Has Any body bought their GTP blue class kits, I'm curious since their cheap ($199) for a front bumper If they fit well or it they need heavy body work for them to look clean. If you looking for rice this is a purty lil kit

I really like this BN kit well sorta it been growin on me what do you guys think One last picture and question what do you think of this rear bumper

on the green kit, i hope your joking. that bn sports kit looks 'ok' but no way i would pay that much for it. that last bumper looks terrible.

what do you guys think? should i go for that bomex kit and fill the holes, or save up and get the hipposleek?

i like the first one. cant go wrong with bomex imo. or the HS.

every pic in MECPinstallers post hurts my eyes or my stomach.

S14 owners just wish they could have the pignose.

nobody wishes they could have the pignose ;] but i would go for that white uras kit, imo that is the best looking kit for the s14. also you might wanna check out gp sports, but they are pretty pricey.

How bad is your quarterpanel damage? Covering it up with a body kit and filling the gap with putty or something like that doesn't sound like a good idea. However, I'm probably picturing worse damage than you really have.

Have you considered the "angry eyes" facelift with a NISMO front lip spoiler? Damn, if I had an S14, that's what I would do. In any case, good luck!!

I like the purple kit on that s14b. I tend to like the look of the angry eyes over the regular s14 tho.

Dont listen to me, i drive s13 =P

I like this one from ?chargespeed?, the square-ish-ness works for me

This one from ?autopassion NZ? Is too "swoopy" for my taste.http://www.autopassion.co.nz/i...%20SX(v).jpg

:D :D :D -that lime green fang kit that MECP posted is a auto s14 here in vegas. Never seen it in person but I see it on quite a bit of car shows covered by this las vegas site. It certainly grabs your attention though haha
