Hey guys... currently have an ongoing sileighty project... I have the OEM K's Aero front bumper, with kouki tails coming soon. Thing is, I want my car to look nice and sleek, but I hate the way gaudy bodykits look on cars without 18x10 wheels and 400+hp and crazy sponsorships. I want to make sure the car is the same level across the bottom. I would prefer a front lip if I could find something other than the bomex one (it sticks out front too much in my opinion)... All the sideskirts I have found bring the car down waaay too far, and dont look OEM at all... Same with the rear bumpers... I hate the way the OEM 240 bumper kinda just protrudes and doesnt look flushed with the rest of the car. Any recommendations for these parts would be great.

Spoiler also, I've considered the Type X, because of the hotness when paired with kouki tails, but Im not sure how well this looks with a silvia front end... Wangan wing is another option, but part of me is turned off by it. Your thoughts and recommendations here will make me happy too.

As for paint, Im currently debating between Deep Marine Blue (blueish purple metallic), Bayside Blue or 350Z blue, and a Ebony Black.

Thanks guys, ready to get this car looking nice and clean for the summer, and would love the good tastes that NICO has to offer.

EDIT:Also, I meant to ask you guys' opinion on this... I currently have the Mesh grill, and I love it... its different than the GTR grill and regular Silvia glass grill. I had to replace the mesh with a black wire mesh for better airflow... the other mesh was a piece of aluminum with circles drilled in it. Anyways, what would you guys think about putting the S14 "Silvia" logo on it... the one with connected silver writing. I know its not a S14 or even really a Silvia, its a Sileighty, but I think this would look really hot and bring the front alive a bit.

this time of day its slow. Also, the kouki body pieces would be good. Just make sure to include all the lip pieces or it won't look good.

The paint, hmmm i dunno. Paint isn't really a public choice.

lol. kouki kit isn't cheap dude. No matter where you get it from. phase2motortrend also sells it. But no one sells the kouki side skirts or tail skirts.

But i think you could get those anywhere.
