I found a local selling a Front Lip, Skirts, and rear valances for $450 is it worth it?

Also I don't know anything about S13 body pieces so could you tell me will the lip pictured work on a pignose bumper? (I can tell if that is a pignose lip or not)

front lip..

side skirts..

rear valance's...

Thanks for the help!

Hmm I PM'd the guy checking about the lip.

Also how much do the rear valances usually go for? I know some one selling just the side skirts for $200 so If the valances go for less than 200 I'd rather buy the pieces separately and save money.

if they are OEM Nissan for round 250 i think, and round 150-200 for the rear if there OEM, but normally good condition piggy lips are sold for about 100(around the Southeast) so i would just get that....itll look good

if you dont want them... grab them and ill pay for you to ship them for me.....and maybe a lil finders fee

I found a vendor on Zilvia (cruisin google) Selling replica Rear valances for $145 so I'm waiting on them to email me back. I can hold out and find a pignose for cheap if they do have them in stock.

the front bumper honestly looks like the side mount hole was cut..there should be a grill insert that's not there.

and if that's the case, i'm sure the side skirts and rear valances are also fakes.

I'd say the prices are justified.

Pignose lip: ~$50Sideskirts: ~$200Rear Valance: ~$200

the sideskirts and rear valance look legit too... but what do i know

Nothing is better than OEM. If you can get your hands on OEM parts especially all those items in the OP, I'd jump on it. Not sure if those sideskirts are OE, but the rear valences look it.

GOOD eye!

At first they looked OE to me, but upon a further 2nd look, no they don't look oem to me either.

subjective statement that's not entirely true. It all depends on what look you're going for. There are japanese aero companies that have SUPERB fitment. Let not get the stateside aero replicas (aka not so great fitment) out here confused with the high dollar japanese companies.

Front bumper is not what I'd be getting thats just the only pic he had of his lip. From what I've read I've not heard of sideskirts with terrible fitament but I havn't looked into it a great deal. It does seem like a good deal to me I'm waiting to see if that vendor on Zilvia gets back to me tho.

So true.

OEM sideskirts will break very easy. I'd rather get good fiberglass replicas.
