Dude. That is very nice Lawrence. VERY nice. You make me want to get a kit for my 96 so badly.

Okay, I'm not sure if I'm seeing this correctly, but are the side skirts molded onto your car? It looks pretty seamless.

Looks good, but are your rear sideskirts different? Looks like they've been cut off slightly.

Those are Ionic 2-piece rears.

Looking good! just keep your eye on double-sided taped areas for a bit. I noticed mine coming undone after a week. Of course it had to rain everyday after i put the kit on.

Very nice Nismo! The Ionic rears blend with the Stillen sides and front very well.

Thanks everyone for the complements

Stan- It took Wally and I about 10 minutes to put on each side on with the tape but I had to drill holes to screw the tops down to the car so add another 10 minutes. I also love the wingless, clean look so no wing for me....until that type2 comes out then maybe

I could use some advice... my car is neptune blue and I recently got my bodykit painted but the colors don't match. Kinda disappointed and rather than repainting it i'm thinking about selling the kit. What do you guys think I should do. *SIGH.*

the point is I don't feel like dropping more money into this but I feel as though it is a waste to sell the kit. This is my dilemma. Help me out guys.

Well if it looks bad and you don't want to spend anymore on it, I guess you don't really have any other choice but to sell it. Unless you want to take it off now and try repainting it later when you feel like it.

Have your painter redo the job the right way...have them compare the fade and adjust the mix to compensate for the age of your stock paint.

yeahhh, shouldn't the person who painted it in the first place paint the thing again free of charge?...its their fault that it doesn't match.....or they should at least give you your money back

I dont really like how the 97-99 stillen rears look. To me they seem to just wrap around the corner and stop in the middle of nowhere like theres a piece missing in the middle. I do admit that the stillen rears match up better though but I just dont like them

NISMO808 - Your painter should repaint the whole thing free of charge. you paid him to match and paint them and he failed to do his job
