what YOUR favorite body kit... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*exitspeed* · 03-22-2003, 06:50 PM

personally I like that one off a kind wide body kit

But I like a couple of the bomex kits too. I think the 240 is one of the best looking cars for body kits.

AKADriver · 03-22-2003, 07:30 PM

For a popup-headlight S13, stock kouki 180SX... Actually, I like the aftermarket versions that use zenki turn signals.

For a fixed-headlight S13 (Silvia), there are a couple companies that make front bumpers that look like stock Silvia aero bumpers except they have a taller center opening and a bit of a front lip. I like those.

For a zenki S14, Nismo.

For a kouki S14, stock Silvia aero.

Most body kit manufacturers try too hard, they design stuff with the intent to create a unique style... but if all you're doing is changing bumpers and side skirts, you really can't create something unique, so it ends up being jumbled and busy-looking. Body kits that take a factory design and tweak it a bit (bigger openings, deeper lips, etc) are best.

SimpleS14 · 03-22-2003, 07:40 PM

Hmm...its tough....but I like this one....

Jim96SC2 · 03-22-2003, 07:48 PM

Hotroad or Ikeya Formula!

KiDyNomiTe · 03-22-2003, 07:55 PM

I love all C-Wests, also for kouki S14s the Ings are pretty nice, for 95-96 s14s I really love the stock look with no spoiler and a greddy lip.

Then for a little more wild kit I kinda like the one in the pic attached.

1997-1998 C-West Cwestin kit. The best fit I have ever seen for a fibrglass kit. Intercooler helps

Umm... the front ends are identical. Unless you are talking about the Silvia front end. In that case, try looking at the Vertex Silvia bumper.... I bet it is similar.

*weirdstyles.net* · 03-23-2003, 05:16 PM

the URAS s-14 is shweet as a mofo, but I am a huge fan of the INGS s14 and mcs14. (Did you notice the sig?)

180 would HAVE to be"

For the 180sx I'd go with the G-Grow complete kit or the East-Bear lip and side-skirts.

What about the Gp sports rear bumper. I think it is pretty nice.

Personally, I love the look of the stock Zenki s13. Pignose Owns

AKADriver · 03-24-2003, 10:49 AM

Actually, so do I. With the lip, especially.

Damn '91-'93 and Silvia front end people taking our lips!

240Driver39 · 03-24-2003, 04:59 PM

I personally just like the 91-94 front with the black front lip spoiler that the SE and LE got, looks good imo
