I like oem, clean aftermarket, and aggressive aftermarket. as long as everything else with the car flows like it should, like paint, wheels, ride height.. blah blah. personally i chose vertex because it looked perfect for street and aggressive enough for me . plus no one in my area had it.

Exactly what I was going to say lol. BN kits have looked like complete shit since the 90's. Terrible. There is no point to having a huge flair around the whole entire car. Boring always looks better than "shit". Stock is not boring......broadfield and Damon do a good job at proving that. Just to name a couple. There are numerous things you can do to enhance stock looks without major body panel changes. The only downfall to the aero bumper I see is the small opening for the intercooler. Us guys with massive intercoolers kind of get screwed. I don't like cutting up original pieces but I may have to throw some n-1 ducts in there or something. Got to let that ARC intercooler breathe lol.

I conform to rules, my car isn't in the shape to be posted in this section yet. I don't want to take away from the people posting some really clean rides. Lots of work going on...as you can understand judging by looking at your ride. Not to mention waiting on numerous parts from Japan that sound like they wont be here till the new year . Always something holding up the process. But I will give you my exterior mods so you can picture in your head. This is what I physically own so far that in someway enhances exterior look. All is authentic. S13 Silvia front end Brick Headlights S13 Silvia K's Aero front bumper S13 Silvia K's Aero side skirts S13 Silvia K's Aero rear valences JUN fiberglass s13 silvia hood JUN fiberglass grill Tomei amber corner light covers Tomei headlight intake---not on the street obviously New OEM rear bumper Shaved body line/antenna Silvia trunk lock my wheel collection Super Advan racing Ver. 2 metallic blue Work VS-XX--silver (daoud's old wheels) Blitz type 03----polished (damons old wheels) Super advan SA3R--- silver R32 GTR wheels---don't clear BBK up front R32 Skyline brakes rear, brembo rotors Greddy/Grex Big Brake kit up front (greddy gold), 13 inch 2 piece rotors (greddy gold anodized duralumin centers). Same you see on GarageMak and Top Secret....just not 6 pot lol. ARC intercooler peaking through the front bumper. KTS full titanium exhaust peaking out the back Car will be nissan super black. Simple, Clean, and Classy.

I wasnt trying to start a dick sizing shitfest.
Just saying EVERYONE and they're fucking mom has a aero bumper these days. I mean Im not saying I dont absolutely love it and will end up getting one for my 2tone. I guess Im just annoyed that nobody does anything original. I mean I LOVE the look of all OEM silvia aero, but it seems like people would be trying to have some variation at this point. I mean for newbs to be building stock cars with no real style is kinda sad at this point, since pretty much every option has been laid out in some way. Just start slapping things together. I already know what body pieces Im using for my car and its a combo of OEM and aftermarket. but I have also had since freaking 2002 or so to decide and see what i did and didnt like. As soon as I get all my medical issues and bills out of the way, and get out of this wheelchair, I will build some surprises.

People get bored. I said oem aero for life, got bored then changed it up. LOL @drftx well put.
There's the 4 tiers starting with stock body, then you have oem aero guys. Then there's the vertex style stuff or non agressive origin stuff, which is a huge middle ground. Then you have the BN/D-max type III 50mm over with giant 18 inch dish wheels. I myself am on the 3rd tier, fast approaching the 4th. I've done them all... not well either, I'm not bragging here haha. |

Im doing pretty good bro, starting to regain movement in my legs and regaining bowel control. May seem strange but its a pretty big deal. My current treatment is acupuncture and intensive PT which is costing me about $1400 a week, but it will be worth if I can walk and drive again soon. So since Im stuck in a wheelchair and not really doing shit, expect to see a lot more of me lol. burst gives me wood
