cheap, ricey body kits

hopefully this will be an awakening for you stop cheaping out. as for the parts you need, source an OEM bumper, and I'd say mugen replica skirts. Keep your stock rear bumper on, dont go with that huge *** sticking out **** you're planning on putting on.

Here's a teg our color with a 92-93 front and rear bumper to give you some inspiration.

that's why you buy polyurethane not fiberglass

No really, do what you want, if you want a skyline bumper for your teg then do it, don't let other people tell you what you should like

oh wait you said "Build my Ride" nevermind then

Those are Mugen, ridiculously hard to find, and ridiculously expensive. I've heard of some going for up to around $1,000. I myself am going with the WW replicas I'm picking up off a local guy for around $40.

I need give the whole car a well rounded look before I start droppin big bucks on parts that will make it stand out.

Here's my car now.

It used to be the color of your car, Jasper Green, but my paint was really messed up, so I roller painted it. It should be going in for a respray of Jasper Green within the next few months or so though

So you have a Nissan bumper on your Honda? Or you went on ebay and ordered the m4d tyt3 jDm body kit?

With $3000 I would get stock body parts for it, have it repainted back to it's original glory and then use the remaining money for a decent set of wheels.

Should be easy to do:

Body panels (junk yard) = $500
Paint Job (nothing over the top, do your own prep work) = $1500
Wheels = $1000

My opinion since I noticed in your other thread that you have already rebuilt the motor.

Or if you prefer performance.....
Throw a bumper on it and boost the snot out of it

For $3000, you could do a lot of different things. if it were me, id get stock bumpers, new mouldings/trim, fresh paint, and probably some OEM wheels in a decent size.

i.e 15, not 17...
