Car: Not a 240 =) Thinking of getting one again...

Post

Hi guys, first of all, the parts I need to fix my car are:

HeadlightsFront bumperBothside fendersHood

I was originally going to just get some used parts and put it together but the money was tight after the accident I had and I only had liability so I got no money from the insurance company.

Anyways, now that I got some money flow going on, I can start getting some parts. I dont really think I wanna get stock bumper and hood so prob thinking some kind of bumper kit and CF hood and as for the lights, East Bear conversion.

Now my questions are:

1.) Anyone here have done the East bear conversion? or know anyone with it? If so, how do they look in person? I heard that its got bad lightning but it really doesnt bother me much since im in the city and there are lights everywhere =)

2.) CF hood, anyone know of any good quality but decent price for one? I wouldnt mind paying $400 or something but the shipping is whats killing me :( Or... what about fiber glass hoods? how are they? is it just better to get CF?

3.) For the bumper, anyone know of a place to get decent price for a decent looking front bumper body kit? I dont want anything too much like the vader style or anything like that. Just something thats not TOO aggresive.

Thank you in advance.

heres a hood

oem style carbon fiber, i saw them somewhere else for $395 but i cant find it now. imo i wouldnt waste the money on the headlight conversion, its ugly, and like you said its not good lighting...for the bumper, theres alot of websites where you can find a front kit for the 240, but if you get a a/m bumper you better get the whole kit b/c it looks dumb with just a front bumper imo

hehehe... thank you both for the response, however I just looked at the Nightszevyn website and saw that the Silvia front end is only $850, but I dont know... Sileighty doesnt really get me going... maybe it would be difference if i actually saw it in person it would change my mind.
