Looks nice. What are you going to do with rear fender? It'll be nice if you can make it look like stock just like in attached pic. I know it's a hatch, but fender looks like from the factory. It'll take a lot of work, but worth trying it. BTW, I hope you take off skirts & bumpers and paint them. You will get more detailed and better paint job with no over spray. +1 on spoiler. That's a very good choice.

the other s13 coupe that we are biulding has the rear fenders molded. i don't really like the way it looks.. so i chose the rivet's. all good, and yes we will paint everything seperately.. thanks for the positive feedback...

Looks great, but I think I liked it before the bodykit more. Like if I saw you rolling down the street with the car how it is in the first couple pics, I probably would've carjacked you at gunpoint...with a smile on my face.

I think your bodykit is bit aggressive overall, and that's why some people like it better without it I guess. Is that a Version Select kit? Your car reminds me of this 240 coupe though. It looks killer with VS bodykit and huge rims. I don't know how it's going to look like with Silvia front and aggressive bodykit, but I hope it turns out as you wanted and show us what can be done with a vert. GOOD LUCK!!!

Wow those rims are gigantic. I just dont like kit for some reason. There just too flat for me. I needs to be some curves in there.

Incredible.

Wow, is all I can say.

I can't wait to get pics of mine and yours together, they're looking similar.

I had bought the Origin lip spoiler for mine too, but I returned it - Didn't like the way it fit.

thanks for all of the cool comments..i agree with a few of you guys, it does not look that great with the kit. my painter assured me it will look 100% better after it's all one color. should be painted this week...

hate to redirect this post's topic, but I got a question. Is it not illegal in all (at least it is in NJ) to not have the third brake light? Honestly, I want to remove my spoiler too - but I fear cops will **** on me b/c of the reason I explained.

Anyone know of a legal workaround? For example, I wonder if any companies sell carbon fiber trunks with led lights...or something like that..

I removed mine.

It's not illegal in any state.

Federal Law requires the manufacturer has to BUILD the car with one, but it doesn't have to remain on the car.

I thought that it was part of the inspection process here in Mass... But that may just be checking if it works if its there.

Yeah, but they'll give you a ticket for combing your hair the wrong way in Kalifornia.

Yea in California it is required to have a third brake light on anything built after like 86 or 87. If they know about the year of your car and the third brake lights missing you will get pulled over.

Your car is hot man, the only thing is the new color. Too "Jhon Deere" for me....no offense, brother. Still a hot ride and looking forward to one day see it in person.
