Can you tell me who can do that? I also have s14 front seats and I thought I have to cover all of them w/leather or something to match. Are your s14 front seats leather? If not, what are you going to do with the patterns in the middle. Don't forget to do door trim and rear interior trim too.

Whatever you get, make sure they fit well. If I were you, I would take time and get OEM aero bumper, side skirts and rear valances. Haven't seen anyone has them on the vert w/silvia front. With SR, that'll make very close real K's vert and it would be awsome.

it all sounds nice but the fact of the matter is that i dont want to pay 500 for a bumper.. the parts fro s13 are just insane i remember when sideskirts were 150 in good condition now there like $300. damm the drift craze

the 3 kits that i have listed are 700 shiped for it all

but there is still that part of me that want all the oem stuff minus the bumper i can get the frp one..

frp aero replica $250 shipped

I've seen that bumper before. You will be somewhat disappointed with the quality of FRP copy, but good bodyshop can make a huge difference. Yeah, that'll be a good idea if you just get FRP aero front bumper and OEM skirts & valances. You know how they'll look. I didn't know a pair of side skirts was $150 back in the day. I'm one of those poor souls who paid $300+ for the OEM side skirts and I waited about 1 year to get my hands on a pair in mint condition. It seemed like forever. Anyways, good luck with your body kit hunt. s13 looks definitely better with some good quality body kits especially subtle ones. I really want to see aero version on a vert.

I have some goodies for my vert this year. Just took some pics of them.

1. WR coolant reservoir tankI've waited forever and finally got it yesterday. Fitment was not as good as OEM plastic(had to bend the bracket a tad bit), but looks nice and it won't crack or fade to yellow. They just threw in seatbelt pads for free, so don't flame me.

2. R33 e-brake calesI've collecting parts for complete z32 brake conversion.

3. Instrument panel clear coverI have a little bug inside of instrument panel(don't know how it got there) and cover is scratched up badly, so I got a new cover. It was on national back order, so I waited for a month to get it from Japan. This is something that's been bugging me from the day one and I'm glad that I don't have to look at that little bug anymore.

4. S15 Helical DifferentialIt's been my dream to ditch open diff and get this one. Got it on eBay and paid for cheapest s&h(via Ship) and got it 6 weeks later.

WOW... Merry Freaking Christmas!!!!It's gonna be a whole new car! Can't wait to see all those goodies installed.

As for me... I'm going to finish installing my new KYB AGX and Eibach sportline combo... Then I am going to see about fixing my coolant hoses that have sprung a leak and removing my thermostat. Wish it was as easy as it sounds... I think I have to pull the whole intake manifold to do that.. So I need to get a new intake manifold gasket for christmas...

Where did you find them and how much? I'm asking cuz they are completely out of production. Even in Japan, you can't get a full set.

The guy that is doing it for me runs an upholstery shop here locally. He said he could match the fabric really really close. And no I don't have leather. I am going to get him to do the door trim and the rear inserts as well. But I may just have the top and the carpet installed before christmas cause of funds. Could you tell me where you got your Instrument panel clear cover. I need one very bad. If you could let me know the website/store you got it from and how much it costs that would be great. I don't care if I have to wait a month or two for it...just knowing a new one was on the way would be great

That's very good to know. I thought only way to match all of them was going for leather. I'll check local upholstery shops and see what they have. It's hot in TX, so I prefer cloth seats.

I got it from http://www.courtesyparts.com, but Midway parts who's NICO sponsor should be able to get it for you too. Midway parts is running special all the time for NICO users, so you better check with them. I think I paid $35 or somthing like that. I'll give you the part number tonight.

I got them used but in excellent condition - from a guy either here or on Zilvia (too tired to remember). $40 shipped for the full set. I put the fronts on tonight; they look nice. The rears require bolts, so I gotta go to the hardware store to find some stainless metric stuff.

That's a good deal. They are good for looks and protecting paint job on the lower body. Actually, you need these gromets and bolts for to install rear ones. Gromets will snap into retangle shaped holes.You should be able to get them from dealership. You also need to use little bit of double sided tape. For each side(rear), you will need 2 gromets, 3 bolts and 1 clip which is for the bottom one. If you don't care, you can use stuff from a hardware store.

unfortunatley due to my finances i am unable to get all the things i had planned for her this year or even the next year(couldn't even get freaking rims). just had a baby and had some unfortunate things happen this year that have forced me to reach into my savings and borrow money here and there. but i know that this coming year will be better and i'll give Greg and the rest of you a run for your money run for the best looking vert . besides , hearing my daughter crack up all the time makes it all worth while.
