Maybe a facory Si sides and rear lip or maybe someone else has some suggs. lmk, by the way the car currently sits as follows- R-34 front, Blackwidow sides, Blackwidow rear, and a invader cf hood- all frow VIS. Also I'm cosidering replacing the R34 front w/ either a R33 or a C-west. Help me out, not sure what way to go!!

id go with oem stuff like you said... si sides, and you dont even need to really have a rear lip, i think they make the rear look to low IMO...

Sounds good if you go with the OEM parts....but hey, it's your car, your choice. If you already got the kit, keep it. So much money went into buying it and painting, might as well use it. Til it cracks or you can actually find someone to sell it to, then change it. But hey, it's just my opinion. Either way, you can't go wrong.

why the heck is everyone now jumping onto the "clean, stock, oem, JDM" look?......... I mean I betcha that if this same thread existed 3-4 years ago & his car was bone stock..... you would see a ***** load of people telling him to get a kit, rims, projectors, hood ect....


Hey bro don't change you car if like it. I mean I know you much like that kit or else you would of never gotten it. Don't do it to make people happy or else you'll see that your car will go through so many damn apperance themes and what not.


I don't like the kit that much but still nice.

thanks to all that has replied, I'm not asking to please everyone I'm just not sure. On paper I loved the kit but know that its on the car it doesn't hit me as much, plus these damn speed bumps on my road are slowly rubbing away the bottom of mypass. sideskirt. So I think I might do the clean lip look for tha daily grind, and on special occas. stick the kit on it's only couple a dozen screws anyway, and in a way your right it is my car and it does make me happy, but as we all know others opinions do matter alot hinse forth the frases - ricer-jdm- sleeper-and so on. So any responses are appreciated.
