Default NISMO Replica vs. Stillen

Hi,

I was wondering which bodykit looked better in your opinion. I was looking at a Full NISMO Replica Body Kit w/ NISMO Replica Wing or a Full Authentic Veilside Body Kit w/ NISMO Replica WIng.

The Stillen is a bit more expensive but is authentic and made of Urethane so it won't crack. With the NISMO Replica, I don't know the quality of the fiberglass but it is at www.spoilers.com.

I would say don't get the stillen front bumper. Get the nismo. Be careful with the replica, some have had bad experiences with fitment.

The sideskirts - both are nice.

Do you people have another reccomendation for the front bumper that is not too different. I like how the Stillen has a small difference from stock unlike Veilside version 2 and 3. The only thing that I don't like is that the hole for the Intake is that it looks wierd. Any bumpers that are not too drastic without a hole in it?

What do you think about going w/ Stillen Rear and Sides, NISMO Wing, and a GReddy Front Lip. Any other front's you guys like.

To me Stillen has always reminded me of some crap looking kit that AutoZone or PepBoys would sell for the ricers. I hate the Stillen product.

I would never go Nismo replica. If you're trying to pimp up a civic, be my guest and put a four tier wing on there. The Z is too classy and too fast for a replica in my opinion. Also, the Stillen looks like garbage as well. If I had to choose, I wouldn't buy either and just save up for a quality kit.

i have a nismo replica wing on the way so ill let you know how it is when its put on (and my *** is fixed from being rear ended)...

as far as the rest of the body kit... i like the front bumpers with the vent for the intake... it kind of creates a ram air set up... there is another one that looks better though.... i forget who makes it...

Well there's someone who likes it. I just like the sideskirts and the rear is ok. The bumper is ok too.

Since there are so many people who don't like it. Cansomeone reccomend me a nice bodykit for a show car since I am making a show car till I am done with it. Then I am going to go performance. Before I start the show car I will have the exhaust, intake and grounding kit, which 2 are already done, installed on my car.

if you are making a show car then it will be best to get custom work done... ie.. custom body kit...

otherwize you just have a car that any rich kid can piece together from a catalog... and there will be nuthing special about it...

just my 2 pence

A custom Body Kit is expensive

I don't want to spend that much money on jsut a body kit and wing. I also want to add Lambo doors and performace gains. Any good body kits out there. I like GReddy's Aero Kit and I also like the Top Secret but it is about $2500. Any good body kits that are not too expensive (Under $2,000)?
