Body Kits - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Kreator · 03-21-2002, 10:10 PM

I've got several body kits that i like, but i can't choose which ones are better. Personally i like the Fang body kit (http://www.mechasports.com/msr_cat....ont.jpg), Omega, Bomex, Stalker and C-WestIN (http://www.wholesalehyperformance.co...Xkitspage.html). The C-WestIN i prolly like the most, but the price bites. If you guys have one of those on your car. Please help me out. How does it look in real life? Does it fit nicely? Any misplaced parts? Also, what is the distance between the ground and the body kit's lower end? I want to go low, but don't want to scratch on every single bump  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> I have stock springs (and i'm gonna keep them) so if you have lower springs, please include that. Thanks.

i wouldnt go with erebuni.  thanks for not suggesting it.  i had a bomex kit for my s13 in my garage and those kits are quality and i think they make the best kits.  i think the fang kit is nice if you want a car that will definitely get attention, but their are other kits that are much cleaner and accentuate the 240sx. its all personal choice/budget.

WHATEVER YOU DO DONT GET THE FANG KIT <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

TQ180sx/sil80 · 03-22-2002, 04:26 AM

i personally would clown on the fang kit if i ever saw it in real life. i like the japanese style kits that people in the states don't really see too often. i ended up with the MsSport D-Style kit for my 180, doubt anyone has seen it. C-West makes the best kits i feel, but the price is a bit too much for me to. but i actually saw that grey front bumper for the S-14 on sale at a used place here in japan for 15,000 yen, which is alyl more than 100 bucks, i just wish it were for the 180 and i woulda bought it on sight. like the other guy said, pick whatever u feel fits u best, if u would like some sights with some japanese kits on em i'll see what i can do

TQ180sx/sil80 · 03-22-2002, 04:28 AM

actually, check out http://www.takakaira.com  they have plenty of kits on that sight

mrdirty · 03-22-2002, 05:43 AM

Tak's site is difficult to navigate...or i'm retarded <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'>

What's with the pop-ups? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

TQ180sx/sil80 · 03-22-2002, 06:01 AM

i don't get any pop-ups, and here's the site with the kits.....
http://www.takakaira.com/aerokits/aerokitindex.php3
just click on the manufacturer and then click on each company on the left side, and the cars they make kits for are right there

samiam · 03-22-2002, 08:45 AM

You MuSt Be ReTaRded....that site is easy to get around I like it.......anyways! Go w/ the C-West kit that's the one I'd get.

Now what did you do that for? Now i have another 10-20 bodykits to choose from  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> j/k Thanx for the site. I actually found a body kit i like most of all

Trial S14 (it's high off the groundand it's ona a black s14...  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I heard that there are some minor differences....

XylathaneGTR · 03-22-2002, 01:11 PM

Fang = Rice/Show Car. if thatsd what your going for, Pure Show, then get that kit (but still, get soemthing else.)

CWest is SDE (So damn Expensive) cause of the Quality...very very high quality.  Very nice products those guys have.  Same with bomex.
The Zeal kit sucks for a FMIC, As it doesn't have very much airflow like the other kits do.

TQ180sx/sil80 · 03-22-2002, 04:02 PM

i wouldn't go with a kit just because it's the cheapest. i'm pretty sure that the kits will match up right, i'm hoping it does cuz i got a japanese kit for myself and sent it to the states, just haven't been able to throw it on yet  http://www.abroad-limited-company.co.jp/newpage2.html#wise1   the orange one on the top is the one i got for 120,000yen, which was about 950 bucks at the time. i could post some more japanese sites with kits, but i don't think they'll do much good cuz most don't ship overseas other than the ones u guys know about

JSR · 03-22-2002, 05:38 PM

I only have one suggestion...TARGET....  I think that is the ONLY choice for you 95-98 240sx owners.  The kit is not TOO bold but is still VERY aggressive to me atleast.

240sxracer · 03-22-2002, 07:32 PM

whats wrong with erebuni kits?(i was thinking of getting the shogun style 395 kit)
im looking for a b-kit too

Kreator · 03-22-2002, 09:24 PM

TQ180sx/sil80, since u imported it from japan... how much was shipping from japan to US? Just trying to figure out total cost

XylathaneGTR · 03-23-2002, 12:23 AM

Kreator.  Go to here and then click on shipping...u can find out the cost in yen...

btw? when was 120,000 yen 950 bucks?  Up here, 140,000 is like 1,500... damn canadian money <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

The ereubuni kit, that real damn ricey one...Its for a show car...

TQ180sx/sil80 · 03-23-2002, 01:07 AM

the shipping was FREE, i had a friend in the military who got sent back to the states, i just gave him the kit and the military shipped it free for him as household goods  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

i bought my kit about 6 months ago, the yen rate was 121, i wish i woulda held off, the rate was 131 awhile ago.

xNotoriousGQx · 03-23-2002, 10:07 AM

I should be receiving my CWEST kit next week for my 97. I'll let you know the fit.  I heard it fits better than stock.  The kit is designed for and used for circuit racing...it actually helps your car at high speed. The coolest thing about the Cwest kit is that it comes with a full replacement rear bumper (not many does) and it's really strong.  The price will put a dent on your wallet but I think it will be all woth it.

KiNG · 03-23-2002, 12:11 PM

hmmm
personally i think the trust kit loox the best (its just a bottom lip right?) but yah, i guess that would account for the price. personally i like the whole jdm/make ur kit look like an accented stock bumper set etc that sorta thing. i guess, personally, i would try to find a kit that really flowed well with the body of the car, dont make ur own curves/lines, the car already has plenty, its a real looker already even plain stock, u dont need to worry about that. main thing that i dislike about almost all stock cars are their lack of "being one with the ground" so to speak, they often go out when going down the front of a bumper, then back in as it reaches the bottom (getting an undesireable passenger car look) so just get a kit or lip set that goes well with the lines and makes it seem like it stays out straight to the bottom of the bumper/side step/whatever (sort of like a nascar for example although that's not what im goin for). i dunno about the wing of the trust kit... it loox a bit strange i think, doesnt really match. but yah, that's my whole take on it.

if that didnt make any sense (it might not have hehe) then take the Rx7 for example. the normal one already loox very sporty, but have u seen the A-Spec kits? omg... they look SWEET. it still loox like it could be a stock car though, u almost cant tell theres a kit there at all. i think that should clarify things.

remember, u wanna make ur car look good, not show off ur kit.

Kreator · 03-23-2002, 03:56 PM

xNotoriousGQx, when you got the kit, could u also tell me the clearence between the kit and the ground? Cuz i like the look of it myself except i don't want it to be too low. As for the shipping, how much does it approximately weigh? Just don't want to guess way of...

Two40 SX · 03-23-2002, 08:57 PM

Bomex's quality is great. I have a friend with a Bomex front. We we're going down this hill with a huge bump at the bottom, he didn't notice it and we hit it. All the front end did was smash together, and then it inflated itself again. Only damage was scratched paint.

Bomex=good.

p.s. I think the Do-Luck body kit is smooth.
