what body kit is this
I have looked at countless body kits for our cars and I have not been fond of most of them. I came across this one the other day while just looking at 3rd gen pics and I gotta say I really like it. Does anyone know what kit it is or where i can buy it from

Re: what body kit is this
That doesn't look like a kit at all....But more of a cut-up stock nose.

Re: what body kit is this
I would agree but a stock bumper cover does not allow room for the blinkers that are in that bumper. I'm probably wrong and its just a modded stock bumper cover with drift rash lol.

Re: what body kit is this
I saw it and thought "Nissan Silvia"
I like the styling though.

Re: what body kit is this
ohh man, what made you like that one? It looks like a home-made hack job to me. It also looks like the license plate is mounted right on the radiator, which can't help its performance.

Re: what body kit is this
EDIT: CrazyHawaiian's Car
I have come to be very fond of our stock GFX, if anything I plan to go to a 90-92 front lip and am removing the side skirts, door skirt and rear bumper skirts. Its the look I want, low up front and kicking *** in the rear.

Re: what body kit is this
LOL, those are 88-98 chevy truck projectors in the headlight openings. I would say that is a modded stock bumper cover. +drift-rash.
If you really think about it, it only makes sense to go this route if you are drifting. I have seen many video clips where their custom bumper covers are knocked off and crushed in the first turn. That can get expensive, but if you go that route, you can get your covers from the local scrapyard and they dont even have to be in good shape.

Re: what body kit is this
That's CrazyHawaiian's car. He's a member here. He drifts. I'm not sure why he cut the nose up the way he did, I presume it has to do with the front spoiler causing problems on his power slides.
I haven't seen him post in forever. You could PM him. He was working on HID's at one point, so that's probably why he went with the truck lights. There were no kits back when he was talking about it and he was one of the pioneers on this site.

Re: what body kit is this
Yea I would just pm him but he hasn't been on since October so I don't think I would have much luck there. Thank you guys for the helpful info though.

Re: what body kit is this
I wish I didn't bash the car now, because Crazyhawaiian is a good guy. I guess it serves its purpose for him when drifting... but as an overall style, i don't find it appealing.

Re: what body kit is this
I like it because that bumper really stands out, and it's a sweet drift look. Say what you want about looking Jap, rice, etc., I don't think it's all that bad compared to some other cars. Do a youtube search to see what I mean.
In drifting terms, that car is quite awesome.

Re: what body kit is this
Big thanks to CrazyHawaiian his weight jack thread was great. I'm not feeling the looks of his car.
It looks like he just cut the bumper where the crease is, and took some of the ground effects as well for the general look.
There might be logic too this as well. We all know are cars have a hard time getting air to the radiator without the front air dam. Imagine getting air in there when your sideways for prolonged periods of time. Cutting out that lower section would solve the problem.
