Oppinions on My new Paint and Kit

[240sxOwner]

I just wanted to ask some fellow 240 and nissan owners what you thought of my new look for the 240. It is a coupe and i have never seen another coupe with a kit in person. It is a Erebuni shogun 605 kit, JSP Mini Scorpion Spoiler, JDM(R32) Mirrors, and focal F5 17" rims for exterior. It has Viper Red Paint and Silver Front Grill. Just let me know what you think. It can't be but so bad since erebuni is going to use my pics to promote sales of the kit on their website. Should I get a fiberglass hood since they give me 1/2 off? Anyway Just click on the website button, and go to the second page. Thanks Guys, -Mark

cool, but it looks like it has some trouble fitting, and get some new mesh, or get rid of it would be my suggestion.

You asked so here it is. First of all if you like it, don't pay any attention to what people think. everyone has their own picture of what looks good.

That is prolly one of the ugliest kits you could have picked. it looks like it was installed and painted ok. the spoiler? meh, it could be worse. and finally your rims are ugly. Overall it isn't the best 240 I've seen but it does look kinda clean. I'm just not a big fan of that kit. sorry if that's too brutal, but you asked.

Im not a huge fan of the chromie wiper blades. The kit looks ok. No chance I would put it on mine, but if you were driving past me, I would probably stop and take a gander.

I like it... maybe a little much with the front part but the sides give it a nice look. And the spoiler is nice, not too much. Best of all though, the paint job

[ucfz31s13]

blah...I'm not to found of the 2f2f looking body kits, but yours doesnt look to bad. It all flows together decently, but I would do something w/ the mesh up front. Makes it look too cheap. Might have picked some different rims, but overall car looks nice! Good job.

I must admit, I'm not a big fan of the body style. As Eklectrik said, everyone has a different idea of what looks good. My taste runs a bit more to the conservative.

The paint job is excellent. How much was it?

I think it looks great except for the chrome wiper blades and the big chrome grill

good work though

First of all i appreciate your honesty and i know that everyone has there own oppinions of what looks good. The rims i have always wanted and they are very rare. The grill is silver and i just like the way silver and red look together. The wiper blades lol were a last resort, i couldn't find any black ones that fit. The kit is actually made for the hatch and it was modified, and a friend of mine did all of the work for 850 including all of the shaving. Thanks

I didnt want to offend ... I personally love chrome , I just think that black would look alot sleaker and meaner on your car.

Well, I'm not a bodykit fan (I like em' stock as can be but fast as can be ) but that looks OK as far as body kits go...the front is umm...unique, but the sideskirts arent too bad and the wing isnt outrageous. I've seen the rims before, I didn't know they were rare...I'm glad you like them, they are just a bit too flashy for me. But hey, if you like it...it's tastefully done so thats cool, enjoy!

My .02:

Chrome whiper = bad. you car is an awesome color, Maybe a red wiper? Or god forbid black.

The mesh looks bad in silver. Spray it or remove it.

The kit and paint look good in fit & finish. I dislike the front bumper, but the rest is OK. it would look better with a lowered car.

The rims arent my speed, but they sure are different looking. Not your simple spokers.

You dont have to take any of my advice, its your car. Definatly a good job so far. Congrats on the new kit and ebruni hookup.

Its nice, I woulda done the motor first IMHO, but like someone else has already siad, who cares what anyone else thinks......

great ride!

[team23rulz]

where do I go to see it? I just went to http://www.erebunicorp.org, but i didn't see a viper red car on there...

[Cyberkreig]

click his website button.

[team23rulz]

lol...oops...guess i read the post too fast! I'm not a fan of that body kit, but it looks nice!

[SmithSR]

Looks are subjective, and I dislike just about all aftermarket body kits, so it's hard for me to say anything good about your car. Especially after seeing your wipers. The wheels are nice and cheap. Focals have a very high failure rate, even if they are of a one piece pressure cast design... in case you didn't know. My shop has had to replace under the manufacturer's warranty MANY faulty/pinhole leaking/chrome peeling Focals.

It looks like the work was skillfully done, but you definitely turned your car into a theft/vandalism target...if it wasn't already. Good luck to you though, it looks like you're into 240's, and that ain't bad.

[WongFeiHung]

The design of that body kit doesnt really flow with the angular design of the s13 coupe. It'd look a tad better on the fastback, but it looks like a clean install.

For the money, I would have invested in a silvia front end conversion and have something clean, unique, and true to the design theme of the car...

Love the paint, though, S13 coupes look awesome in red.

[iliketocrash]

I think the kit looks rather nice. Its a bit flashy for my tastes but it looks well done. I think the people who are calling your car ugly are being waaaay too picky. I've seen a lot worse. I think the spoiler flows fairly well with the body lines and the fact that its rather low is a plus. Also, the fact its not a huge aluminum spoiler is another plus. The chrome windshield wipers are no big deal, at least you didn't do the "single wiper" conversion. I have to admit that the car does look a bit awkward in the rear end section due to the coupe's boxy rear end but it still doesn't look horrible. As for the paint job, it looks kick ***. Overall i think even though its not the greatest looking car in the world, its still growing on me the more i look at it. Great job. :ylsuper

[slw240sx]

call me crazy but i like it ! the bumper is a bit aggresive for my tastes but i kinda like it ! i think my FMIC would make it look even better! i may just have to order one of these kits. i like the side skirts and rear alot .

[JJ240]

Its tough to find a kit that looks good on an S13 coupe. Most kits go for a round sleek look whereas the S13 coupe has a more square and angled look to the top and rear. The cars lines clash with the round body kit and angled stock lines IMO.

[Radian]

I'd have to say it isn't really to my tastes, but atleast the work was done well. You will get ZERO respect if you have a primer grey body kit put on with wood screws.Um, yeah, ditch those ghetto-chrome wipers for sure!

[Meantime]

Paint looks cool, front bumper is a little bit too extroverted for me.

I prefer to be low-key, the only kit I would ever consider is the JDM Type X conversion, but that is way, way off in the future.

[240sxOwner]

Thanks for the honest oppinions so far, but like i said the chrome/ actually silver wipers were last resort. I think red would clash with the paint and look a litle tacky. I will try to find some black ones later today. As for engine work i am swapping in an RB25DET in january and the bumper was the best option for a FMIC. I doubt many people want the kit, but if enough want it i might be able to get a group deal from erebuni. Keep the oppinions coming, by the way is anyone in here in Va?
