What color is your car? I've seen quite a few rides with this color and it looks really sharp!

looks pretty good. side skirts don't seem to match, but it might just be that they are at a different angle. gotta love the color, though! and if you can get your old rims back on, that would look even better.

Well, I sold the old rims for 400$ w/ tires to a buddy of mine from work, which crashed his car 1 day later.. lol.. that sux for him...the entire kit matches perfectly. For the gentleman that asked, the car is PEBBLE BEIGE...These pics were taken after a rainstorm so the bottom of the doors were kinda muddy, that's where the difference in color comes in. I also just installed a Spec Stage 1 clutch and a Fidanza flywheel so I wanted to go with stocks because I want to see how it runs.. Im still breaking it in. Im currently at 300 miles on it. I want to get to 400 before I push it hard...My next thing is the interior.. Im getting leather. like my shift/ebrake boots. Its going to be sick but I need to recuperate some $$$ first...


Allegedly, this will help me shift smoother in the winter.. We'll see!!!

I have to say, I don't really like the beige color . However, on going back to stock wheels. I think the car looks much better with those. As for the kit, While most of the time I associate bodykits with , that car looks sporty while at the same time classy, probably because of the color. So all things considered, I would say it's quite the improvement from the before to the after pics. Well done.

I just love the fact that it is so roomy but yet powerful. I have spanked plenty of cars.. I am not turbo nor supercharged but I have everything else pretty much done... CAI, Ypipe, HighFlow cat, greddy sp2.. all this, along with my b&m and my new clutch have turned it into a monster!!!

i think me meant looks wise, which i agree and disagree at the same time. the stillen front, which is what ionic copied is nice, but is more rounded than the rest of their kit. i think their kit matches the 97 up better, and i agree with vip, should just upgraded while you were at it

96max.. your car looks 1000x better now then it did before.... could u shed some light on those side skirts, do they just basically add on over the exisiting stock ones?

where would be a good place to buy that front lip, its def. cleaner then the stillen, the stillen has those 2 air vents/slits in the front and the ends of the lip arent smooth

you are thinking of the 97-99 lip... the ionic lip is pratically identical to the 95-96 stillen lip..

+1 on the beige maxis. car looks way better now w/ stock rims... a drop would be nice. Im not a fan of kits, but i would def. consider just that lip.

could u shed some light on those side skirts, do they just basically add on over the exisiting stock ones or is there something to take out, then fit on the new sides?

the only thing you have to take off is the rear mud flap looking thing. Other than that, they fit right on.. I just had them put on with lots of rivets..

i love it.... i'm glad to see u stayed with the 95-96 front bumper cover, one suggestion would be to put 97-99 headlights on it.

what kinda headlights are they... Hid?

do nj cops bother you without your front plate

I'm curious on how much it cost you to get the lip kit painted. was there much fading on the rest of the car/hard to match the paint? it doesn't seem that the pebble beige color would show much fade, but not entirely sure. thanks

The cops dont' bother me about the plate. It is on the windshield. On the other side of the windshield is a nice and shiny FOP shield.

My uncle owns a shop.. Im sure he can paint them for other people for about 200$ or so.. Depending on what I tell him... Hook him up or don't hook him up... lol.. the car matches perfectly. It is easy to match any color. Most of the matching is done w/ the clear coating not the paint itself. He has been doing body work for 30 years...
