I am worried people will get the wrong impression- im fairly new to the 240sx world, and i love performance as much as the next guy, but recently ive had a craving for asthetics. that and the fact that my car has a "hit me" sign on it somewhere i still havent found. in the process of fixing all my body damage, i decided to just go all out with a body kit. And with the body kit i couldnt keep the stock wheels, so i am adding some 5zigen fn01rc's to it also. I have just the basics of performance so far, but nothing too impressive- tell me what you think of what i have so far.. and i look forward to my future 240 life.

i know a body kit seems gaudy at times, but its just a damage solution- anyway let me know what you guys think.

RAWR, can't vote, because I'm on the same boat as you. Have some body damage and instead of just spending money to get the OEM bumper, I figure I'd get a body kit and rims, but instead I decided to get the SR20DET. I mean I've been driving around with the damage for over a year, so what's a little more? I mean I can't see the damage from the driver's seat. But GL with what you decide to do.

as long as its a clean bodykit theres no problem but think about something with how much ur going to spend and a body kit, putting it on, painting it, buying the kit, u can be turbo'd... its not like ur 240 is ugly stock with a drop my 93 is burgendy color which i hate it has stock rims it has a dent in the back bottom fender not a big deal but it has an sr under the hood wouldnt u rather do engine work before u go crazy putting a body kit? some rims would be nice then engine work unless if ur body damage is bad dont worry about it

BV LCA's?

yea right. i don't think BV even makes LCA's, and even if they did, do you know how much they are? SPL sells them, Over $1200 for all four. And would you even know what to do with them if you had them?

Do your upgrades in stages. not like a little bit for each area of the car. motor stuff, suspension stuff, chassis stuff, exterior stuff, etc.
