What should i get first? Body Kit or Wheels?

[karu11]

So here I am, I finally figured out how my car should end up, but I can't decide on order since it'll take time. By next week I can either order the Body Kit and get it installed and painted or get my Wheels...but i can't decide what to get first! My eibachs come in tomorrow so i think wheels, but part of me just wants to get the body kit out of the way too! So I figured i'd ask you all!

or should i just wait two months and do them all at once!

I'm planning on getting Nismo LMx5 18x7.5j +40


and AIT body kit

because you need the wheel look nice and match when you have the new body kit , unless you already make up your mind to put these 2 change together

the car looks funny if you have a nice kit with stock rims, especially if you have the 08 16" rims. go rims first, then kit, you have to do these step by step otherwise you do too many things and once and you'll want to do another mod right away, you have to pace yourself can't wait to see what the kit looks like btw, i really want to see what it looks like on a black coupe

the 3.5se never had 16" rims and the OP has a 3.5se. at first I hated the stock rims but they sort of grew on me and i like them now. I'm keeping my stock rims on my car.

IMHO - always wheels and suspension before body kit. I say concentrate on wheels with a drop first. It'll look complete after you do all the body work, rather than doing all the body work and having the less flashy, more basic stock wheels. If you had an 09+ SE/SR, I'd say body kit first, as for some reason those wheels go further than the 17s on the 08 for me.

NEITHER

Those wheels are awful. Save up some, do some research, and buy nicer wheels. Don't care if they're "Nismo," they are 7.5in wide +40. Sunken FTL.

Don't buy a kit at all. Take the money it would have cost (nearly 2 grand when you add paint costs) and buy some coils.

Done. Low car on nice wheels, will look better than most cars here and on the road. No body kit required.

I wish I never got mine haha

Definately wheels, and those nismos are hideous. If you wanna pick up a of nismos look at the LMGT4 those are some nice wheels and a more aggresive offset is a must

[karu11]

yea LMGT4 is actually what i wanted originally. but the black ones are, apparently a rarity..i can't find the black ones anywhere

[nig1]

yep, pretty much what everyone says.

[pimpinc]

The real question is where'd you get those headlights?

[karu11]

lol same place where dangeris, surman and others got theirs, there was a group buy sometime last year they all joined.

I agree with all this lol just that
