Nice kit and body work, but no seat belt pillars and the flat boot cover kinda ruins the body line.
It's just too flat and dull looking IMO.
I would have kept the pillars, top and original boot cover.

Hmmm. I have a completely opposite opinion - HATE HATE HATE the way verts look with goofy seatbelt bumps, and I would not use the bloated ugly OEM top cover if you paid me cash money. I think both ruin the smooth look of the car - which I love. IMO this kit is fantastic.

^ Agreed.

If I had kept my 'vert, I was going to switch out the kit to this style (minus the monster flares).

Not a fan of the big sticker on the spoiler, but TEHO.

No offense, but it looks like he's driving around in a bath tub.
I'm all for the simple body line, but it's just too simple.

BTW, the guy from Rocket Bunny designs OEM body kits, and this is his latest creation.
Check them out if you haven't seen them.

Bathtub point taken. :biggrin: From some angles the fender flairs do odd visual things. I just really love the design of the front and rear bumpers though.

If I did not already have a PDM front lip and OEM rear valences sitting here for my paint job this spring, I would be buying parts of this kit for sure.

I'm still a big fan of this kit, which would have been the next mod to my vert had I kept it:

This is Instant Gentlemen kit by Super Made.
I have Super Made s13 coupe spoiler, but their quality is just terrible.
A lot of body work is required to make it look good.
I assume the bumpers are in similar quality.
On the other hand, Rocket Bunny kits fit well.

Agreed. I loved the way the pillars looked on my car, but those door panels were un-salvageable. it does look kinda weird without the convertible top there too.

I consider my seat belt pillars as one of a kind. I don't know any other cars has them except Cavalier but Cavalier vert is even harder to run into than 240 vert. Most people never seen seat belt pillars. I have a pair of brand new s13 door panels just in case though.

I loooooveeee the rocket bunny kit, but I'm not a huge fan of the fender flares on the vert. It's a really high quality kit. My fiance ran over a HUGE raccoon at 80mph and only cracked the bumper a little in the middle. But what I really want to know is... does anyone know how I can get or make that flat boot? That thing is sweet!

I found them highly ugly and they created the largest blind spot I've ever had in a vehicle with no top. Going to body mounted seatbelts was the best thing I ever did on my vert. To each their own, of course, but I'll be fine without my skull crackers.

Now the flat boot is a bit much. The factory boot gives a good hump on the silhouette, but I know what they were going for; a flat, protrusionless profile while deleting the rear seat.

You apparently needed to be taller, cause I've never thought the pillars were a blind spot.

5'10", not short, but not tall either. The driver side one just always happened to be right next to my skull, even regardless of the seat I was running; S13 or S14.

I like the style, I may actually look into it for my car.
