Bullshit.

It looks dope. Starion wheels are sick. You dont need big *** wheels to pull a kit off. As long as you have the right tires and offsets you're golden and it looks like you're spot on. Looks like you spent ALOT of time polishing them as well. I can't wait to hear the **** talk when i gp/overfender my car with 16x8 0 offset sportmaxes..... **** it. We all have different tastes. You sir are right on the money with your car.



Like the others said, it could stand to be a bit lower (like 1" to 1.5" tops) for style but you daily this and dont want to crack the **** out of your aero. I respect that. Others should respect that as well.

Again, LOVE THE CAR.

I am aware of everyone not liking the fact that the car is not slammed

It was slammed when the car just got painted




In all honesty, it is not practical to leave it slammed due to the kit being sooo low, but I sacrificed that factor so I can keep that kit in one piece. I know that the front is higher than the rear, I have not had time yet to raise the rear a bit yet

As for the rims, I am aware that these kits need baller status rims to go, but due to my financial situation, I won't be getting some anytime soon.

Unless I can find some nice wheels when I go back to Japan. Hopefully SSR Viennas or Work Equip 01's

btw I enjoy reading everyone's comments and opinions

Your car looks good as it is. A very very clean driver. People are gonna talk **** no matter what you do. Take comfort in the fact that you have built a really nice fc. I like the kit, i like the starion wheels.

nice build. If the wheel well gap bothers you....try modding corksport overfenders to minimize some of the openness. I wouldnt though, as good as it looks, not worth the little benefit vs. molding, prepping, and reshooting fenders and quarterpanels.

dam thats DK status!!.. his was lower though lmao

Your replica aero looks like it fit pretty dam good though, esp the front, alot have difficulties in that department. I hope you find some Work VSXX when you got back to japan, my favorite wheels, would look sick on ur car.

I know it sucks about raising your car, you feel like your taking away from it when you alter it, but you jus gotta do it. Mine was pretty low when i got it, raised it up some. At least your on coilovers you can always drop it low when needed.

I have a friend who has Version Select *Uras style* kit on his 240sx, he bought it because it looks good, little did he realize he had to raise his car for driving, hence it looked crappy after that.

the front fits very tight, they tried using a heat gun on it, but it didnt work. fits real snug though

yea, if we were just tracking the car only, then i would leave it slammed to the ground.
i love it how in japan, you can rent a storage for your car at the track and take it out whenever u want to track it

Take it however you want.

I like the man's style. A take i'm doing to my own car. 16" low offset wheels with a crazy kit and a wangan style spoiler.

There are alot of ****-styled cars posted that get alot more cred than this guy does which pisses me off.


Back on topic. It looks *****-tastic slammed. I think i'm in love.

Question for ya. Are you even close to hitting anything at full lock with your tire or wheel? How much space between your wheel and lca? Wheel and sway bar? Wheel and bumper?
