3rd gen body kits

Ok...My dad has a '90 max and one day messing with him I told he should get a body kit..I had found a couple pics of them and he saw one kit that he really liked but he liked the hood with the scoop in the middle of it the most. Dont ask me why, he just did.
Anyway do any of you guys know of a place where I can find him a hood and maybe a body kit at a great price????
funny thing is he doesnt wanna do anything performance wise (doesnt want to lessen his gas mileage or make it louder, as he has a 150 mile round trip commute)
Thanks

Well....

Which body kit was it he liked? Check the for sale or group buy forum for Grnd Fx kits for good prices. Erbuni has some "universal" stuff I believe, like hood scoops and stuff. BTW, tell your dad that performance modifications do not lower gas mileage, they increase it. The main reason most people get crapy gas mileage after installing mods (such as an intake and/or muffler) is becuase they sit all day parked or at red lights reving their engines becuase they like the way it sounds, then they stomp the gas to beat the Chevy Astro van beside them when the light turns green. That's what decreases mpg.

Thanks...the mileage thing he still thinks back to when he was young and moding mid '60 domestic muscle cars where adding speed killed their mileage. He also said he wouldnt spend the money on an engine mod for only a mile or two gain in mileage.
I'll keep an eye out in the buy forumns and stuff for kits.

The following link was one he liked.. http://www.groundeffects.com/ge/nissmax89.htm
as for the one with the pic of the hood beats me where it went to!!
thanks again

There you go....

That link is the one for Erebuni. Click on the Universal Accessories and there's the scoops I was talking about.

a mile or two increase per gallon will add up...espically if you drive the car alot. the mods will pay for themselves.
