Were you asking me? I have a friend that knows the owner of MOtorex so hehe:)

I might end up getting another bomex bumper but its not as aggressive as the ones that i Have. I wanted to keep my chuki lights and bomex has the bumper the fits to my liking:). Part # UAD-027, look it up at http://www.bomexaero.com

I feel about bomex as I do about Veilside......to many things look the same with slight diffrences.

But it would look nice.

well i checked out that raceonusa.com website and found these. I'm kinda liking this front bumper better then the DRFT one. Also the price they have for the CF hood...I don't know if thats a good thing of it its cause its so checp its gonna crack? Also I think the stock mirrors stick out a bit far also so i'm gonna go with the Bomex side mirrors.

http://www.raceonusa.com/index...D=745

I even like the side skirts and rear bumper that go with that kit. And with a 180sx spoiler I think that would look very nice. My car isn't going to be anything crazy, just the Super Black off the 350Z.i'm gonna have the rear whiper blade shaver, the rear window nozzel, the side reflectors in the rear, and the antenna.

here is the CF hoodhttp://www.raceonusa.com/index...D=211

That's the same setup that's on a 240 I've been looking at buying. It's the UAD-027 front, and I think it has the same side skirts and rear bumber as yours, BomexS13.

Here's a pic:

OK I'VE DONE IT!

I'm donegoing back with the original plan and get the S15 frontTrial S15 front bumpervented CF hood

..now i'm thinking the Trial front bumper along with the Vortex side skirts and rear bumper with the Rotora 3D CF Spoiler/ or/ the 180sx spoiler (haven't decided), and Bomex aero mirros would look KILLER! Might even throw into the mixthe 180sx fender flares. Shave my antenna, rear reflectors, rear windsheild wipers and spray nozzle, mold the rear bumpers and side skirts, thats about it i think. Mold the flares if i do them.Here are pics of the body kit:

Front bumper

Side skirts

Rear bumper

Rotora 3D Spoiler (same as on Rotora drift car)

I'm sure you all know wha the 180sx spoiler looks like, so i did't post a pic.

Bomex Aero mirros

the car when done is going to be black...well thats what i'm think of as color right now. I've also been considering the limited edition Midnight Purple pear OEM nissan color. The purple on bottom, black on top. Also white with black top, leave the engine bay black. Car is orginally black.

Let me know what you all think, and open to suggestions.

Since you've decided on the S15 front. Check out my buddies S13.5 sporting the MSport front

or you can go with Kazama....:ylsuper

Yea, actually I had looked at both of those bumpers. The MSport one I liked but didn't know if my GReddy FMIC would fill up that front mouth or not. I'd look pretty funny big front bumper and then all this space around my intercooler.the second one I do like it, but the vents at the bottom is what throws me off. Wouldn't take much for one of those to just crack from a light brush with the ground or something.

With the Trial front bumper I was going to have those to nostril slots (near the license plate) filled in a smoothed over.

Well, I like how subtle it is. It doesn't say "Look at me" as much as other kits do, which is exactly what I want. And hey, it comes with the car so I'm not complaining...

Yeah, your setup sounds great, except for one thing. (IMO) The Trial front bumber has too much going on, whereas the side skirts and rear are both simple and angular. Not sure if you see what I'm saying, but I think you'd be better off with a front bumber that compliments the sides and rear. Take a look at the rest of the Trial body kit. They have many lines and angles on them that are absent on the more simplistic Vertex body parts.

With that said, I think you would be better off going with either an ings front, or why not the Vertex front? I'd say Vertex all around would be the best choice...

ings "R-Spec" front bumber -

Vertex front bumber -
