I am very excited about this.

Also congrats on finishing the wheels.

Finally got my new coilovers and back to an acceptable ride height. I have an eastbear rep lip waiting to go on as well.

Real pleased to see another fellow clean Juniper Green owner. Had I kept my hatch wing and stayed 4 lug, our cars would be nearly identical when my car was still Chuki.

Soooo clean my man! Makes me want to stay with white and the chuki front!

I'm thinking about filling in both body lines but I'm just not sure if ill like it or not. Has anyone seen this done? Not just the one either, both.

you take away the body lines of an S13 and you take away what makes the car look so good! its been done, and it always looks terrible. if you want a car with no body lines, sell your 240 and go buy a chevy cobalt.

but, then again, you werent part of the car scene back in the late 90s/early 2000s when people did dumb shit like that left and right... and molded body kits... and under-car neons... and color match interiors... and invader body kits... and color matched tubing in the engine bay

Great point. Some people won't let those times go...

HAHA nice man. Yea I love the Green, I'll eventually get it repainted the same color. I will be getting rid of the wing though sometime soon and going 5 lug to rock baller wheels. And I'll always stay Chuki. Did you swap to a silvia front?

finally you lowered that damn thing. Is the wangan gone for good?

[crzsteveo]

^that red s13 might be the only exception met the guy in VA, pretty cool guy, and I think the spirit rei car deleted the top body lines??

but any ways, 99% of the cars that delete body lines, juts look so out of place and horrible. its like taking a Shelby cobra and squaring the curves of the fenders.

am I the guy from VA? if so, thanks for the compliment, and who are you? And I agree with you, I am not a fan of deleting the body line but that red s13 pulled if off.

the wangan wing is at my fiberglass shop getting new threaded grommets put back in, one of them is trashed. my wing actually uses the OEM spoiler holes with bolts that screw in to keep it secured to the hatch lid.

so, no... my awesome wangan is not gone. i love that wing to death and its just getting a little TLC!

i cant stand rocket bunny or instant gentleman... but for some odd reasons the younger guys love those kits.

I really love the Greddy rocket bunny, super aggressive. But until I have $3k laying around for plastic, I like the simple touch. I do also love the gentleman kit, but on other people's cars. The s13 has natural beauty that only needs ground accents such as lip/skirts/valance. But the wangan wing is so damn big and awkward. I'm planning to shave my stock wing and apply a small lip spoiler similar to a TL-S or M3.

wangan wing came from a very different time of aero than most you younger guys are privy to. i got my first wangan wing back in 04, and thats only cause no one in the US imported them outside of Sam at J-Spec. i paid an outrageous price for the first wangan wing i picked up off ebay that some random imported guy brought over... but ill tell you what, the instant i laid eyes on that wing back in 2002, i feel head over heads in love for it. i dont like the really long ones, my wing is actually quite short and only extends about an inch past the trunk deck. the short ones are REALLY hard to come by. im honestly thinking about making a rep of my wing since its such rare piece now that i would love to preserve and have others purchase to enjoy!

but yeah, the entire point... i come from a very different time of what aero looked good. instant gentleman is an atrocity to ANY S-Chassis as the S-Chassis IS NOT a VIP car, and the RocketBunny kit screams "LOOK AT MY JAPANESE NASCAR!" since the guy who actually developed the RocketBunny kits modeled them specifically after trends in NASCAR aero design. im not saying that all old school aero is awesome... let us not forget the Abflug or Veilside kits... but there was a time in the early and mid 2000s when companies like Vertex and GP Sports nailed S-Chassis aero like no one else has ever been able to come near! now it just really seems like anything new that comes out is just TRYING to be outlandish and weird looking!

I see where you're coming from. I am definitely young and don't know much about that era. Although, to me the gentleman kit looks great without the VIP look. I'll try and get a pic of my buddy's car that has the gentleman kit tomorrow. I think his car executes it well. I understand where you're coming from with your taste in original Japanese (JDM) aero. I personally find a lot of the older styles gaudy/tacky but who am I to say right? Opinions are assholes... Some people, especially here on Zilvia in the interior thread, HATE my interior because I have a Grant steering wheel and a Hurst shift knob. I grew up around muscle so I blend styles a bit. To me it is budget friendly and gets the job done just as well as very expensive options. It also looks good to me. IMO, if you were to get a nice lip to fill out the front, and rear valances, I'd probably think the Wangan looks cool. But on a mostly stock body, it looks out of place. I'm not hating, just statin opinions.

Have you thought about making Kouki side skirt reps? I spoke to Forcewerkz about it but they didn't quite follow through on anything.

i have a lot more s13 stuff planned (kouki stuff is on my list... summer probably), im not doing anything until the aero bumper project is done. i was SUPPOSED to have my prototype this week, well... that didnt happen and im a little more than irritated right now with the people producing it.

Meh, to each his own.

I don't see how two lines makeup the s13.. Red one looks good because of the added door pad I think.
The white one does look too plain..hard to judge without seeing the entire car. Maybe leaving the lower one would help.

I'm not one for body kits and I'm not even sure if ill ever get a kit for my car.
I wasn't modding cars then but I was into them quite a bit, always thought the style was cool, would never own all that shit but was still awesome to see.
