paint really makes that front end look good. is there anything we can do to eliminate the gap between the fender and the wrap around piece, it all looks like it lines up pretty well.

thank you.

heh...good luck on that...i've seen way too many installs of the skyline front end and this looks similar. the 4th gen fender just curves down where these kits are straight on the wrap around...

yup.. that's what we expected.. a typical design flaw is the wraparound part.

Dexie- That's Rob's job.

I saw this kit in person yesterday....

...and it looks awesome.

The clearance on the lip is full height of my palm with 3 finger gap drop (actually it's more like 2.75 finger drop) with H&R springs. This is what I am gonna use to measure my onramp (basement garage) with Maxspeed springs, which is about the same drop as H&R (at least on mine).

Ange, thanks for waiting for me yesterday. Really appreciate it. I know my math is not perfect, but I would rather overestimate something rather than underestimate it. Now I need to go home and measure that onramp on my apartment garage (and find a credible body shop).

Armand
ps: let me know about the headlamps, I will be in Colorado in the week of the 23rd.

ange has had so many front kits, this kit looks higher than others which is a plus because a lot of us are scared of scraping (or me atleast) and although i know i'll scrape with this, having it higher just lessens the possibilities and dam it looks good man

That's a nice looking kit. Is it made out of polyurethane?

I'm trying to push for abs plastic.

Ardika (Armand) stopped by the warehouse yesterday and tested the ground clearance.. (see his post).

I did some measurements earlier this week and the m-style front is nearly idential in comparison to the Stillen front+ stock ...less than 1/4 inch lower than the Stillen lip + stock.

Wow that looks great! Better than all the other bumper replacement kits out there. And it seems to go decent with the Sarona sides and rear...
