Well if you like the kit then you have to decide about price. Those kits are way too flashy for the max tho. I think anything but Stillen or Ionic kits are too much for the car. But to each his own. Your choice really.

Why in the hell do they make R33 and R34 kits for damn Civics, Accorcs, Integs... etc... Can they not just stay with their cars and leave our Nissan bodies to us. But back to the thread, it looks good man, but I hate people who put all the "ricey" stuff into the body and dont have anything under the hood. But I like it, just wouldn't do it to my grocery getter.

there are a couple of people on the forum that has that kit, and it doesn't look bad in my opinion, but most people will tell u to stick with the Stillen lips... but honestly its ur choice, we should have a sticky that says
*note* for body kits 85% will tell u to stick to the Stillen, while the other 15% will tell u to get what u want.

Fiberglass SUCKS, specially for anything in the front of the car lol...
As far as the rear bumper and sides...fiberglass is O.K. cause IMHO ive never seen that rear bumper before (im assumin this is new? lol) But it looks nice, as well as the side skirts, but the front bumper has not changed...and is still looking pretty bad...way to boxy for the max's curves
Get a stillen lip and c if you can get the r33 sides and "evo" rear bumper...i think that would look pretty damn nice...Then again its up 2 you, just givin you some idearz...

If you like it, it's a decent price; especially when compared to the stillen complete body kit (about $900).
Personally, I like the look of the Stillen more like most of the people here, but it all depends on what you want for the price you want.

2.) Lower your car.
Do you really want to see what a bodykit, rims, and no kit looks like on the car? Lower it first, get rims, call it a day

Also, understand the cost and labor that will be needed to paint and install on your car, especially if it needs to be welded on. It seems that you are STILL too eager. Don't spend another dollar on your car for at least 2 months. Browse through all the forums, donate 20 dollars to use the search, and stop trying to throw money into your car if you have no clue what anything is.
I know you're new, and this isn't a bashing, but do not waste money to make your car look like ****.

fiberglass and rocks don't mix. One decent hit at 60 mph with a rock and that front end could end up in a million little peices. Plus, it's really difficult to repair (unless you have the orginal mold). As time goes by, the painted fiberglass tends to "color shift" and ends up looking like a bad match. Make sure the body shop you take it to has a lifetime warranty on the painting not just the labour.
That's about all I know hope that answers your questions.

to do it right you need to let the shop do it. It needs to be fitted, modified if needed, prepped, painted, etc. You COULD attempt yourself but you will regret it. this isnt your typical spray can paint job. If you were closer i could take you to DP (the shop i mentioned before) and teach you the whole process, but its really something to not be done at home

depends on the shop, the type of paint they use, reputation, etc. My biggest suggestion is ask them what type of paint they use. I suggest PPG or Dupont, in that order. Ask to see some of their work, their facilities, etc.
