Yashio Factory or BN Sports??
Hey guys...I'm finishing off my body work. My last piece is the hood and I can't decide which one to use. Tell me what u all think.
BN Sports (FRP) or Yashio Factory (CF)? I love the looks of both, but can't decide. Any experiences with either? Oh yea, I'm using a full CWest kit with MSports fender front and rear... |

yashio factory 1, bn sports 2. hmm...sounds like both are good options though.
My car will be cobalt blue. If I go YF I'll keep it CF and get the matching pillars (where the door and rear windows meet). If I go BN it'll be color matched (obviously). Both will be running about $1000.00 shipped. Any other opinions?

My stock KA24DE won't be backing up the bold looks.
I'm more interested in some 17's with phat ass tires to fill in my nasty fender gap. The only problem with that is lack of offsets offered by 17's. 18's come in varieties of offsets and widths, which are more ideal for my setup. Yet, i'm hard headed as hell and want 17' anyway! haha... I still want to spin this suckers. Do you know of any 17's that go deep (17 x 9/10 with low offset)?

It's gettin chopped up in the body shop as we speak...So i'm not sure how it looks at da moment.
Other than that: Brembo brakes, MM pads, goodridge lines, stock KA24DE, K&N drop in, Blitz NUR cat back, and various suspension components (STB, TR, etc)...

well, my personal preference is: CF > Fiberglass
but the BN sports looks nicer than the yashio factory. if the BN came in CF, i'd definitely get that. the BN appears great for top mount.. where are you getting the hoods at? what importer? |

If you are going to spend so much on exterior, why C-West? Whyyyyyyy? If you're going all hardcore, you should have went BN all the way around. You can't find low offset 17's? Serious? Find someone who sells Work or Speed Star wheels and get them from Japan, any size you want. I mean, you are spending thousands, might as well spend a few more thousand on nice wheels. Or you can get FN01RC 17x9 +15 and put 15mm spacers to match the fenders but that wouldn't be as cool as having a nice set of 17x9 +0 front, 18x10 +10 rear. If you go hardcore on one thing, might as well go hardcore on it all.

C-West is nice, but the wing blows ass. C-West is wind tested , don't know what other ones are? But you probably won't ever put it to use.

I've always liked the cwest kit on s13's...
I saw a pic of a white s13 from HIN with the c-west kit.. I think it was Chris from Speed Alliance's car?? that thing was hot.. kouki wing, and 5zigen Typhoons, and some crazy hood.

wow, my thread got a lot of replies...haha. thats pretty cool.
but anyways, i want to stick with the Full CWest kit all the way. It's just my taste I guess. To fill the fender space, more than likely I'll be hittin up either: SSR Type C (Gold) 17 x 9.5 (+15) Front SSR Type C (Gold) 18 x 10.5 (+15) Rear 5Zigen FN01RC (Bronze) 17 x 9.5 (+15) Front 5Zigen FN01RC (Bronze) 18 x 10.5 (+12) Rear I firmly, absolutely, do not believe in the use of WHEEL SPACERS!!! haha... Maybe I'm weird but I have this belief that it throws the mechanics of your suspension off. It's just so generic-like to slap a piece of metal between your wheel and hub. Doesn't appeal to me. O well... sideview: I'm going to ImportFan.com for these hoods. (I know, I know - ImportFan/GTP sux ass). But, they are currently the "Official BN Sports distributor in the US." So for this I'll make an exception. I'm still torn between these 2 hoods. I like carbon and I also like FRP. Which one would be more useful wit the use of an SR20 with a FMIC? Any cooling advantages of either?
