i wouldn't pay almost 2 g's just for a bodykit and it doesn't even look all that great.  but that's just my opinion. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

plus shipping ... plus 300zx headlights ... $2250 ...

Azarael · 01-10-2002, 08:18 PM

You could get an engine swap for that!

Takumi · 01-10-2002, 08:22 PM

Man...that's like...half the price of a turbo kit or the majority of the cost for an SR20DET swap. ####, I can get a JDM Silvia S13 front end for HALF that price. o_o

Plus you gotta paint that kit too and get it installed. Whatever man, it's your money. Just make sure you don't have an expensive kit while rolling on stock wheels. That kit just ain't my taste.

go to groupbuycenter.com, you can get that kit for 15% off.. (thats a LOT). Don't listen to them <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> There's nothing wrong with show before go. I'm getting the veilside front end and side skirts myself (getting Bomex rear and A&A specialties carbon fiber wing). I'd definately recommend getting rims before a kit if youre on stock wheels. I can afford the veilside front and sides right now, but it'd look REALLY dumb coupled with my "15 inch deluxe wheel covers".

Edit: BTW there's no internal mods on my car except a K&N intake, and the only mod i WILL do is exhaust. That is, until i've gotten a kit, paint, seats, and stereo done.

it's all about personal preference I personally am more performance oriented but at the same time I think that kit looks really nice as well.  Heck it's your car do whatcha like.

ka24et · 01-11-2002, 12:15 AM

I don't like combat kits. I think I would get tired of my car looking so "extreme" and would eventually regret all the work and $$$. I've known people who wished they never did this or that to their car. Also the style is (has been) getting outdated, IMHO.

But like wyldchyld said, it's your car and if that makes you smile then go for it.

Archangel · 01-11-2002, 12:29 AM

The kit isn't bad. Its a bit much for me personally, but it you like it, go for it.
Do check group buys, and check around as you may be able to save some $$$.  Also, like some one said above, don't forget to save some money to paint the kit.  There is NOTHING that looks worse than an unpainted body kit on a car.  If you plan on getting an aftermarket spoiler as well, get it at the same time, so you can get everything painted together.
Enjoy it if you get it!

Veilside kits fucking rock! Go for it man. You can get the kit cheaper though if you shop around.

*DSC* · 01-11-2002, 02:14 AM

Those headlights look pretty sweet (I strongly dislike pop-ups...when they are up anyway) I've seen an s13 in person with that kit and I REALLY don't like it. I hope you'll keep shoping around cauz when I saw this car on the road it just looked silly. But then again, if it makes you happy, it really doesn't matter what I do or don't like...does it.
