na im not turbo'd or anything, i just think it'll look cool until i can afford to get into the power mod game, only reason im even lookin at this is because how cheap the guy wants them for

I'm not a fan of that one either, but the price is pretty god damn good. If I was you, I would just buy it from the guy and throw the full kit on eBay or craigslist for more money than you bought it for. I'm sure some noob will pay at least twice as much for it as you did :lol:

ouch on that last comment TheMack. J/k

We have those lip kits cause of the quality. i drove down to Long beach a year ago and checked out sideskirts for 20 bucks. Looks like the ones in your image. They dont fit at all. Short about half an inch and they tried to stretch it on and scratched my car. Fitment is whack sometimes.

The bumper looks ok. thats the R34 front people use to have. The sideskirts will hang super low.

The reason why we stick to the OEM TRD Kit is because of the material its made out of. If your drop driving around with that body kit all I can say is bye bye. Image

I really can't figure out if I like the looks of that. I think it throws me off because there is so much mesh, but if done right like that one it might look sweet...
