NEED HELP WITH THE SIDE SKIRTS AND REAR BUMPER

[losy180]

Hay guys i got a new bumper and need help deciding on side skirts and rear bumper.

her are some pics of the new bumper



can you put the brand and a picture thanks for all your help

[johnny5]

im not tryin to hate or anything but that front bumper is a lil to busy for me, id say get a door first (it looks scratched and dented, i could be wrong) then worry bout the rear bumper and skirts

[Clawhammer]

You will not be able to pull off that bumper and any other combo of side and rear aero with your injen short ram intake.

I'd worry more about suspension, some wheels, or better yet that rust.

[losy180]

ok i know i have to fix rust and need a pain job but for now i need side skirts

[losy180]

what do u mean i will not be able to pull off that bumper and any other combo of side and rear aero with your injen short ram intake.

[Clawhammer]

Any aero...bodykit...whatever you want to call it...is going to be way too much for a stock car. It will just end up looking tacky as hell. Stock cars with body kits fail, hard.

[heartofaskyline]

its not stock thought, it has wheels and a custom rocker delete

[EnjoiNismo]

Looks like he wants to cover up the dent below the door with the side skirts im asuming?

But oem side skirts.

[shift_240]

just my opinion but id fix the car inside then out. and that bumber is FTL

[Clawhammer]

And custom rear 1/4 delete soon enough...I'd be careful rolling your rear fender lips!

That bumper is not rice. Possiblily the mesh.

what is custom rocker delete? and i need side skirt to close the rust hole and how is the bumper rice ? its a copy of the kouki bumper with vents

[heartofaskyline]

it was a joke directed at the rocker rust, a common problem with northern 240's. and please at least cut the rust out before you put the side skirts on.

[kietdude]

Get 180sx kouki sides and rear valances or the Version Select version IV

[losy180]

i will grind in out and like "Clawhammer" sad to get new rims. whats wrong with the ones i got and i am only 16 and don't have money to spend on wheels and turbos.

[losy180]

thanks for all your help

[ss82480]

Please spend your time and money getting that car looking decent, such as matching paint on fender, or body work before you rice it out with a bumper like that. You are giving us all a bad name.

[nevertheless]

Those wheels are for a honda, Buy some wheels that have a 20+ offset or lower. The last thing we need is another bodykitted 240 with sunken wheels.

My god 240gen sucks. Everyone tell him how his car is s*** as fast as you can.

That bumper looks sweet. What company cuse im trying to find a good fitting type x replica. Get version select type x style sides. I ordered mine saturday. The mesh would look great painted black. Waht color you planning on painting it. and for insipraton

thanks "Hcraig13" for not dissing my car and saying that its crap i got the bumper from speedtech or you can order it from http://www.zolaonline.com and i am going to pain the car candy red. and thanks for the tip about the side skirt and the mesh. i will probably get version select type x style sides and can you tell me how much they were.

thanks

[brizanden]

seriously his car is fine god he wants to make it look decent instead of a s*** job cheap kat. i would say that front + type x aero would look hot. or maybe the canadian ss. Just make sure you get it a dec paint job no flat black job plzzzzand i second that 240 gen is a bigger s*** hole then when i joined

[losy180]

thanks i will get the type x

[tEknoS13]

I for one think that bumper would look great, as long as you get some good wheels to go along with it, get nice sides and rear bumper, fix body damage, and get a decent paint job.

I dont see why people say a stock car fails with a kit. Its just cosmetic stuff, I'm sure people wont be asking "what's under the hood". Plus, there is a whole bunch of people who got nothing but a simple sr swap and get aero as well just because they want the car to look good. I am not a big fan of the oem chuki bumper so I went with a Silvia conversion, which is also OEM but looks 10x better to me.

My advice to you, keep searching for the remaining aero pieces you need and don't get discouraged. I'm sure you will find something that fits well with the front bumper you got. And please, I beg of you, get good fitment wheels when installing rest of aero.

[losy180]

brizanden what do u mean "and i second that 240 gen is a bigger s*** hole then when i joined"

[losy180]

thanks "tEknoS13" i will get better rims as soon as i get the money

[tEknoS13]

I believe he agrees with you about 240 gen being a s***hole the when HE joined

[Hcraig13]

^ Yea i swear not even 6 months ago you could ask a question and get tons of help. Now its just s*** talking and complaining.

But anyways the skirts shipped were around $350 but thats still cheaper by $100 to order real ones missing clips of eghey. You can order oems new but there like $650. I would say get the type x rear valence. You can get that with the version select skirts. or i got mine oem of eghey for $80 shipped but that was an insane good price of ebay. There normally around $200 shipped. Keep it OEM. Nobody does it anymore and it looks the sexiest by far.

And more because im in love.

[Clawhammer]

I wasn't just talking about motor when I said stock. Suspension, motor, etc. I never said he sucked. I never said his car sucked. I gave him serious advice that he will not take and in turn his car will actually suck.

Don't ask a question of opinion and get bent out of shape at the responses. That, at least make sense. But those of you getting butt hurt over our responses to him don't makes sense.

Yeah this place becomes a bigger s*** hole by the day. My monthly post count and dramatically gone down to less than most people in a day for a reason. Unfortunately dumb kids and borderline retards are the cancer of the s-chasis. Our environment is the product of our audience, so don't expect much from teenagers and idiots. Yourselves most likely not excluded.

Hcraig13's advice is good, op. But I do have a question: Do you still have your stock bumper? If so, put it back on until you get the car back in ship shape and you can afford to install all the aero at one time.

Before you even deal with aero though, address the obvious maintanance issues, upgrade your suspension/brakes/wheels & tires. My recommendation is to find wheels sized 17x9+20 (for starters) and drop the car on some decent coilovers.

Before you start haphazardly modding a car, you need to figure out your goals and vision for the car. So go make a plan of attack and make it happen. Planning and doing it right the first time will save you money, but remember the old saying: Gotta Pay To Play! Good luck!

[losy180]

i have coilovers on the car.

and tEknoS13 what do u mean "I believe he agrees with you about 240 gen being a s***hole the when HE joined"
