Opinions... 180sx Body Kit???

Ok, so I'm thinking about changing the aero on my S13, but I'm still undecided. Here's a pic of my car currently (Origin Stream kit)...

Here are the other kit's I'm thinking about. The first is just a different front bumper. The second is a different kit all together.

I really like #2, but part of me thinks it looks too...smiley...

So I chopped my fog lights into it to see how it looked, then I chopped the JDM S14 Kouki bumper lights into it.
Here it is with my fogs...

Re: Opinions... 180sx Body Kit???

I can't decide. That's why I'm looking for thoughts. So you like the origin kit you quoted better than the one that's on the car now (stylish > stream)? Just curious. I really can't decide.

Re: Opinions... 180sx Body Kit???

That's kinda the way I'm leaning I think. I really like that kit, but I think unless there's something in the side vents, it looks like a big smile... It just bugs me. I like it with the S14 lights, but it bums me out cause I won't be able to use my current fogs. (bad@$$ FET hyper gold bright as $h!t)

Re: Opinions... 180sx Body Kit???

Just leave it with the Origin Stream Kit. The front bumper on #1 seems a little bit cleaner though, so if I had to vote, it would be #1 over #2.

This is Works9 aero not Super Made. Super Made cars used to use Works9 aero before they made their own. I have always like Works9.

Re: Opinions... 180sx Body Kit???

Wow, no big deal man. Just an opinion question. This car isn't a drift car. I want it to be a hybrid all around nice car. Wheel fitment is a big part of the VIP scene, and I think I've got that covered. I was just curious which kit people with the VIP mindset preferred more. The car will have some VIP flair, such as wheel fitment/stance, puddle lights, interior accent lights, etc. Just a personal opinion question for the VIP crowd. There aren't really any VIP kits for the 240 other than the Instant Gentleman kit, and I'm just not a huge fan of the 180sx version of that kit.

Re: Opinions... 180sx Body Kit???

Brian keep the current kit, #2 does look like a big smilie. And if you got another kit your fogs wouldn't look right, and man I know your car 2 miles away by your fogs there the sex. All up to you though man, your car could make it look good but it looks good now.

Put that cake in the motor :tickedoff:

Re: Opinions... 180sx Body Kit???

If you are looking for a more VIP inspired kit, I would look at the BN Sports kits. Too bad I can't seem to find a picture of them that the car isnt covered in ugly stickers.

BN Sports Type-3

If you can imagine them without the stickers, and the yellow, the kits are actually pretty sweet.

yeah, but not Vip, or even Vip inspired.

I really like that BNSports blister S14 they've been showing over here in the ads recently

Re: Opinions... 180sx Body Kit???

Yeah, I know that kit is Works 9. I just can't decide what to do. I have seen the 326 car, and I'm just not a huge fan of that kit for some reason. I don't know what it is about it, although it has grown on me a bit since I saw it the first time.

BTW, SiMz... who are you? You're obviously from around here... I love the fogs too. I may still be able to use them if I did the Works 9 kit with the S14 lights. They don't go all the way across the opening, so the fogs may still fit beside them, I just don't know if it would look dumb.

Re: Opinions... 180sx Body Kit???

I say keep your current kit.

The stream selection hasn't even been out that long. haha.

What makes you want to change kits. Looking for something more subtle?

If you must keep the fog lights. Have you thought about fitting them where the kouki position lights are?

Because some of those pics with the fog lights, position lights, turn signals and, headlights will make the front end look cluttered imo.
