Default Nismo kit updated closeup pictures

Took some more closeup pictures of my nismo kit so you guys can see the quality. Overall not bad, front bumper was great, side skirst one side was pretty decent. Just as long you find a reputable body shop to fix it for you.

car looks good man.. if you have the means get some 19 inch rims and some fatter tires, i think they would compliment the mean look of the body kit much better. still looks good tho!

Default Looking good!

Is it the real Nismo kit? What's wrong with the side skirts? Thanks!

Theres nothing really wrong with the side skirts, I think it didnt fit so well before but they stretched it out to make it fit. As you can see from the pictures they are lined pretty good with not gaps.

no its an imitation kit from bavaria, I got it for 900. The body work can be done at J&S BOdy in West Covina they did a hell of a job and was really good on prices too.

To answer your guys questions I won the kit off of ebay for $900 and I got it installed in J&S for $650, was going to be only $600 but since I paid with CC they charged me tax. To be honest I think I got a helluva deal considering what my total came out to be and the pretty good installation I recieved. The grill came with the kit, I'm probabably going to paint it white myself or silver.

Look for around for bodyshops, my first quote was from a shop that wanted to charge me $1500 to paint because they said if I dont blend the kit then it will look two tone. BULLSHI*T. Don't beleive the crap some guys tell you, use ur own good judgement.

Hey Jabroney, did they need your car the whole time or did they paint it first and then take your car in one day for the final fitment?

How long did it take for the whole thing because I'm getting my Nismo kit put on probably next week...?
