I can get another kit, I dont want a "hit or miss" kit haha. I understand all kits need a slight adjustment here or there but I dont want to shell out $1500 to fit a $300 kit and it still look like crap.

duraflex is hit or miss. I have a duraflex kit and the skirts fit amazing, the front bumper fits ok, and the rear is soooooooo fucking far away from fitting. I picked up this kit just to see how it looked, and I'm going a different route. One of my friends got the duraflex copy rear fenders (copies of origin fenders)for his s13 coupe and they actually fit better than the authentic origin fenders that were already on his car.
Ive moved past Charged, I just like the looks of others that have good reported fitment. Thanks!

I saw that, thats so strange. Why do they not have rear bumpers? What if they got rear ended? Sucks for that person.

Taste thing! No rear bumper vs rear bumper is just like rap vs metal.. I say that you definitely should go with authentic kit! My dad bought duraflex kit for his JZA80 and it had a medium- fitment. Parts did fit, but not well. He did a lot work to get a proper fitment to front bumper and sideskirts. How about BN Sports kit? I have not tried to find authentic one so I don't are they easy to get, but you should give it a look!

By authentic you mean the origin, shine auto, or 180sx look? Or something else?

I mean that you should say no to knockoffs if possible. Knockoff will never be good as authentic. I think GT-R Garage sells BN Sports body kits if you want to check them out!

I literally block sanded and primed my Xtreme Demonsion fenders 3 times before they were even considerable to paint. This doesn't include the amount of bondo and fiberglass that were needed to make them "okay" to fit on the car. I can say that if i were a professional body shop, the cost to mend these fenders in man hours far exceeds the cost of buying quality fiberglass to begin with.
If you want fiber that will forever look trash, wavy, poor fitting, disposable in a single event. Go ahead and buy cheap aero, fleabay bay stuff. But honestly wreck them in your first event because after that you fell victim to the game.

I bought a 1991 Nissan 240SX Hatch 5 Speed today.
She has 178k Miles.
She is getting rebuilt from the bottom up next week.
She is going to be my toot to college car.
Eventually an engine swap but for now NA unless you have suggestions.
She has had one owner, an elderly lady, who sold me the car.
It sat for 5 years.
Possible slave cylinder out, pedal goes to the floor but doesn't return.
Stock compression is 9.5:1 but if I decide to boost later I could right or should I drop to 9:1. I'll be NA for awhile.

Compression Test:
Cylinder 1 = 120psi
Cylinder 2 = 40 psi
Cylinder 3 = 110 psi
Cylinder 4 = 120 psi

I'm not getting the extreme dimensions kit. I'm going Shine Auto with DMax front and rear fenders.
