I guess if you like this type of kit and like to mess with the mounting and all the drlling and everything by that time it simple not worth it.

fiberglass kits can be risky. If it's done right then it's fine, if not, it's complete trash. I'd say go for it if you like it

How are they mounted, i mean, cant u just use a specail adhesive and then fiberglass over the seems. I know the Sarona kits have a completely new front and rear bumper but i cant afford them.

I say do what you feel. We already have plenty of ricers so it's not like you will stand out.

If you want this kit go buy it off of www.redlinemax.com because the ebay ones dont mount up directly and they are a pain to deal with. Youll have uneven gaps everywhere and it will look like ****.

I think it just depends on you tatse but i realy dont think it would really good idea. I would probably throw ona a stillen kist and call it a day. Its simple but yet sophisticated and nice. That kit would just make your car ricey unless if thats what you want.

a lot of people have mixed feelings about the skyline conversion kit... some like it, a LOT hate it... so don't ask this forum for opinions, cause most of it is goin to say they don't like it... so personally its up to u, if u like how the kit looks... then I say go for it, I think its nice cause its a whole lot more different from all those bare stock or those with all those with the stillen lips... so ya... its up to u

i don't think it's really that bad. The rear is especially hideous though. I think the skyline front and sides with a different rear could look tight.

ye and the bumpers are full replacements, everyones saying there hard to install, but there direct replacements. I like the back tho, its tight. For this price i guess i cant go wrong, im gunna try it. Stock max's are just too blahh.

i like the stillen lip kit, but a lot of people do have it. i think that the skyline kit looks pretty damn tight. just do whatever you want. its your car. personally, i dont think its that bad, im gonna look into one in about a year when i have the fundage, but ill prolly go wit the lip kit cuz its more low key.

Its one of those kits where you have to back it up with some kick a.. performance. So its ricey that can spank you down the road, otherwise its just rice, and rice isn't too good by itself

My boy sickmax has this kit. I like it. My favorite part is the grill. The only downside is that you have to make your own front turn signals. Since there is no precut space for the stock ones. It doesn't fit perfectly. The worst part is the rear bumper. This kit can also crack easily. If you are careful it won't. I do like the looks of this kit, I've seen it in person.

wow how do you move the turn signals into the corners, rewire?, i think the car looks awsome as is but i agree it would look much better now that u've moved the signals. Im thinking of going Impreza blue, with CF hood with hood pins, painting the mesh grill white and doing white rims. my car right now is... well lemme show u, lol.

i had a similar kit. it was very hard fitting everything in place and it cracks too easily. you also have to remove your rear reinforcement bar.

this was my car a year ago....


this is my car now...


please reconsider... i regreted mine after a month and after wasting so much money on it.

R32 kit doesnt look that bad, but the side skirts and the rear is just plain oogli IMO.
Get the Ionic sideskirts and the stillen rear kit might look good w/ it. But over all, stillen front lip always look the best, not ricy looking, i mean i see and eat rice almost everyday, so i dont wanna see my car ani more ricy stuff.
