Letting the cat out the bag

Ok while the ORG was down I had made a big purchase. That purchase was my bodykit. Yes I know it is off in color a little bit but the car will be repainted when I feel like it. No there is no bumper hood gap either I just had taken pics after getting back from bodyshop and they didn't have hood closed all the way cause they didn't want to break it.

On the bottom are two pics from Autovations Car Show here in MN. Which I had brought home the trophy of BEST NISSAN.


enjoy

I'm not in love with the kit, but at least his max looks original, and it should look pretty good with the big fogs - though I prefer Hella to PIAA personally (from a quality standpoint)....

from the rear and side angles it looks pretty good. the front view is definitely different. the fit around the front of the hood could be a little better. clean car though.

It looks as though even if the hood were latched (pulled down slightly), the gap is not symmetrical to the shape of the grille. Overall, looks nice and original for sure.

definately need a more agressive drop for this body kit. Also I see stillen cares nothing about fitment bc the bumper replacement has never aligned with the hood, but they keep producing it.

I like it. It's different. But my only concern is even with your hood closed, it seems like there's still like an inch gap right in the center of the hood and grill. Another word, it doesn't look flushed. Also, like someone else said here, seems like your car is sitting way too high.. perhaps lower it more (coilovers). Maybe you should slam it , it'll look off the hook.
I wanna see how it looks with those PIAA fogs you got. Post pics with the fogs

Yeah coilovers are next but with only two to three months before fall I am looking for a beater so I can store it for the winter. After last year I just don't want to deal with all the salt. As for the height the back sits lower due to the system I was thinking of switching to teins but decided to wait for the coilovers. If other people don't like it that's there decesion. I hated the stock front and the aero kit wasn't going to help so I got this bumper.

Yep I have talked to him porsonally about the hood and bodykit. We're practically twins just that we have different shoes and color. I will post pics once I the PIAA's and the HID kit for them. triples8sol as for the shifter it's a long story but I like it.
