Thoughts on this body kit?

240SX 89-94 GPS Z1 style side skirts 2/3D

And have any of you bought from rocketz? they're located in Richmond. Might pick up the whole kit tomorrow, as i plan on painting my car white. My car currently looks like this



89 240sx

You get what you pay for. They're good guys there though. I've bought from them multiple times. It's convenient not having to wait for "ebay quality" items

Would suggest not getting any bodykits by manufactures that have an X or a Z in their name.

Also, looking at their website it looks like this might have potential given that you plan to swap your rims out too
