Advice on body kit selection

I purchased the FEED type II replica front bumper from rotaryextreme.com. Now I need side skirts and rear diffusers. I'm thinking about the new veilside side skirts and rear diffusers. Would this look ok? If not, what would look good with the feed bumper. I kinda like the GTC sideskirts.

I am getting the FEED bumper too(whenever rotaryextreme tells me mine's done). Anyways, I am probably going to get the Apexi sideskirts, nice and simple and clean. But probably won't get them for a while. Also flybye has got the JDM optional FD sideskirts and I think they will look good with the FEED bumper too. They kinda look like the Apexi's almost.

Are you positive that they are there? I just looked at the site and didn't see the 2001 AD skirts and diffusers.

I don't care all that much for the bumper, but I'll be doing the same (Veilside CII) side and rear skirts. I'm going to keep the stock front, but use the Racing Beat Air Dam.





I have a MPEG of someone's FD, down in Texas I believe, that's on the highway with the Veilside side and rear skirts. It's looks so sweet. Too bad the Veilside front looks like *ss.

That combination would look good. Nice and clean.

Thanks, I hope to be able to get the body parts and repaint the car sometime, but I just wrote a big *** check to build a house (darn wife). Now my new hood will still sit in the box for a while... sigh..

I agree with ttpowerd, get what you think looks good since it's your car.

Pan Speed has some nice kits. Also check on R-Magic. They have beautiful kits. It really depends on what you like and how much you are willing to spend. I will go with either the C-West front or the R-magic. I like the Knightsports type 5 as well. What about AB-Flug? I like the front that you chose but I am not a Veilside fan.

I don't mind the Veilside sides (hey, I have a pair that are going on my car...for now), but the rear and front, I really dislike..

but like the other guys say, it's your car.

Hey FlyBye how much did the OEM side skirts set you back? And if you don't mind how much are the OEM rear skirts? Any place to get more pictures like the one you posted? Thanks

later Gun

Which front bumper is that? R-Magic type III? I like it.




EDIT:
On review, a FMIC would not get much airflow from that would it though? Seems like the oil coolers would get enough.

I got lucky and bought the sideskirts for about $600 used. New they are about $1200, but they ARE urethane. The rear mudflaps were sold in the US and can be purchased at any dealer.
