Do you guys think it would be ok to mix and match diffrent parts from diffrent companys?

Such as:
the Nismo front bumper
the ings side skirts
and another companys rear (I havent found a simple rear end I like so far)

Yea or nay?

Im not sugesting the body kit combo I have in my original post, but just wondering if it is acceptable to mix and match any body kits (under the exception that matching it so it looks good).

halle berry?

Id hit it...


The only simple rear I have seen is the central20 one...

 

The question still remains:

Of course it'd be ok.... gotta do that sometimes... I wouldn't use the Ings+1 front, but the sides and rear are pretty nice. =) The rear may be a little overdone, but still good... CWEST rear skirts are interesting... paint 'em though.

 

Hmmm is there any importers for that Central20 rear? I wish I knew how to read japanese...those web sites give me such a headache

 

use the altavista.com translator

 

WHOA! I am ever in your debt! Wow never knew that excisted it makes my life so much easier now I dont have to learn Japanese...and I was pondering it too!

 

No prob duck, just pasing it on like it was pased to me.

Back to the question, 1 for yes, mix and I am still wanting more opinions.

BTW, why did this get moved to the mod section?

It has just as much right as the 3 or more body kit threads on the gen section right now. Oh well.

 

Japanparts.com should be able to get it for you.

 

what spoiler is that on the white z?

 

looks like they added a few new pieces/photos to their site... http://www.central20.co.jp/news.htm

 

What I want to do is go with the Nismo side skirts, rear diffuser, and wing and get the CF Top Secret front diffuser. SO MUCH $$$ though!

 

Dr Bonz, Im not to crazy about the Nismo rear, but I like the rest... was just wondering if it is unaccaptable to mix kits... and i guess it isnt.

VQ, do you know, or know who I could get in contact of for the price of Advan modle 6's from Strictly Z?

18x9 & 18x10

Btw mixing and matching body kits is fine and dandy as long as the lines on the whole thing match and or you like the look, its all about you and how you feel about it. You bought your car for you after all right? What I find odd is that there isnt many custom import car builders like there is street and hot rod builders. Not many guys you can go to and take a drawing of what you want and have them build it for you. Might be a nice business venture

 

Oh course I would make the line match!

Yea, I now see that it is fine to Mix it up a little bit.

Does anyone have suggestions for a good combo of body kits?

Nismo Front
Ings sides
Central 20 back?

-Shoots

 

Wow, the Japanese just go CRAZY on their body kits...

Check out this front end for the Central 20 kit... The backend looks great, but the front looks like a total Celica knockoff... (although I would like to see more companies figuring out how to integrate foglights in to their aftermarket front ends). . .

Also, in terms of your original post, I would strongly reccomend not mixing and matching kits... wings are fine, they are basically up to your discretion. But with the kits, certain arcs and forms appear throughout a well designed kit, which won't be continued when you mix up different brands. Of course - its all in the eye of the beholder. But I wouldn't do ANYTHING until I saw the kits that I was going to try to mix and match, up close & personal (actually I feel the same way about even doing a single brand kit, you gotta see a kit in person to get the sense of scale and shape)...

Anyways, good luck!

 

I personally like the Nismo side skirts and the stock front bumper with Veilside front lip.

I am still undecided about the rear under spoilers. So far, for me, the Veilside looks the best but I am not in love with it. The Central 20 is interesting but I think the lines don't match with the Nismo side skirts.
