2 suggestions... get some lowering springs to drop that wheel gap a bit, and PLEASE ditch those tail lights for some stockers. otherwise i think it looks good.

EDIT: and get a set of 97-99 stock headlights

scratch that, you need 95-96 stock headlights since you got the 2Ga front bumper.

I really like the color and the hood though, very nice paint too

Yeah I thought everyone would say that(taillights and headlights and bodykit)but I got the headlights because of the projector and halo with the totaly open inside and they don't offer them in 95-96 models.
The body kit is faired in except for the nose piece(would a newer stock nose piece look wierd with these sides and rear?Probably huh.

The tailights are probably going back to stock>new pieces of shit leaking and fogging up!

But I do like the body kit because no one in my area has it.

The only reason I haven't lowered it is beacuse I'm waiting for Tein to release the motorized coilovers here in the states.

Any other suggestions, Improvements?

The paint is Mercedes Benz Bahama Blue pearl metallic.

Yea, I know I really can't afford to buy new rims and such because I'm in college and my car is constantly breaking down, but some bigger rims would probably look better on a kitted car such as yours. It looks good either way though.

Tail lights go back to stock, paint the mirrors to match the car, should have gotten the black housing headlights instead of chrome, and get gunmetal rims. Just my opinion.

People with stock bodies just hate people with body kits thats all. I like both but if I had started all over I prob. would have not gotten a body kit either, gets very old very fast....

Not too bad. It's not my favorite kit but ehh. I would change to the stock tails with a painted center. I love the way the red looks with blue for some reason.

Dude, did you paint your rear tirewells too?? I don't know if that looks good. But on another note, its pretty nice for being a kitted car ;-)

Posted by rucr8z2, Jun-06-05 02:06 PM
No the exhaust is not stock it's 2.5" Dynomax stainless tuner catback system with a stainless testpipe after the downpipe

The wheelwells have overspray in them> I have to tear into them and repaint the wells and suspension components. Then put my innerliners back in.

Cool,AGGRESSION get up with me, I was thinking of going up to Richmond and checking out Team Absolute this weekend, but I know more about your club.....

Car looks good. Man I can't believe how many people have that damn kit now. I've had mine for like a freaking year and a half. I had to wait for ever to get mine from Japan. Tip on the tail lights, if you don't wanna cahnge them, then paint the middle piece the car color, I did that and it looks way cleaner. I also ahve a green car and the black chrome altezzas. I have a vis gt 2 carbon hood, make sure you put a lot of heat shielding under the hood. The hoods will crack from the heat above your turbo and manifold area. I see you have the heat shield, I'm picking up one of those next. I have to get my hood fixed now cause it's all cracked in the middle. When you go on the freeway, watch your hood, it will wobble and shake like a bitch. Put hood pins on! As soon as I hit 80 the first time and had thoughts of my hood flying up like tommy boy, i put them on.

The only negative I can say about the car are the mirrors. Chrome isn't doing for me. To each their own. I have the m-3 lighted (turn signals) mirrors painted my car color and they look pretty bad-ass.

Are you gonna pull out dual cans on the back? I thought about it, but the weight it will add, and now real power performance, didn't make too much sense to me.

dude, if you want those type of headlights AS 95-96, its simple. Just put those suckers in the oven and remove the lens, NOW use your old 95-96 lens and attach them on the projectors and WALLA, you now have 95-96 projectors as you so wanted them originally & not to mention you will no longer have a headlight GAP!

look at my sig, can you tell my headlights are 95-96 with a 97-99 lens? no, you cant.

Actually I'm looking for a new front nose piece any suggestions?
Now the sides are molded and so is the rear so what would look good on the front?
I'm getting a 99 stock front and maybe some other one(r34) cause I've got about 2 quarts of paint left and I want to use the Bomex for show only cause it sticks out like a sumabitch and I'm afraid I will hit everything.

Yeah the sides window covers are made by Auto Vent Shade

Those nose pieces ar choice but isn't anyone coming out with anything new?Everything is the next Blitz because no one makes anything new!

Do you think a stock nose piece(99gsx)with a lip would look decent with these sides and rear?anyone care to photoshop one?

Blue is definately the color of choice!

Those are made by AVS (correct me if I'm wrong). If you go to their site you see a whole bunch of stuff, made to overlay parts of various cars.

Thanks and I didn't realize that the bomex stuck out so far!
Bodykits are cool and all but they kinda get old after a while so I'm planning on swapping out the nose piece.

I've also got my original mirrors painted to match I'm planning to put on.
