as i 100% agree with you, depends on the cars purpose. if he has plans to drift i would not suggest a legit kit.

I've heard nothing but good things about rocketz, unless you count the knock off hating richmond residents with rich uncles buying $7200 wheel sets for their (insert car here) from overseas

realisticlly, if you like the kit, go for it, if you have problems fitting it, you'll see why you paid 1/5 of the price of the buddy club authentic kit that timpo posted 3 pages back.

opinions are like assholes, the gay ones take dicks. so do what you want, get the fair priced rocketz kit and make your car look different than every other shitty S13 out there (and I say that as a proud shitty S13 owner)

double post my bad

i say their stuff is hit or miss. i had a customer come in with a 2000 celica and they had the replica veilside front bumper cover and it fit like an ebay item... but on the other hand ive seen their stuff fit pretty decent.

you and i are doing the same :thumbsup: i'm assuming your "720" quote was from nissanparts. All i need is side skirt and front bumper.

Everybody's going Kouki. I would too, if I still had one.

Yeah. Keep telling yourself that bro. :lol:

Holy crap who cares! The guy needs a new bumper anyway, who cares if it's JDM, replica, OEM, AERO, fake, real, CF, poly, fiberglass. It's just a bunch of plastic pieces, come on people.

And what do you care if his car is fast or slow. Who are you to dictate how fast his car is supposed to be vs what his car looks like? Shit, it's like we've stepped back into the fast and furious 2000's here!

This.
At least I ain't one of those people that have mommy and daddy buy them their car (Skyline for example), slap an N sign on it and crash it trying to make a left turn.

My ride is fast enough for me.
:accepted:

Will do :D

BTW, I don't plan on spending so much money on my 240..since I plan on saving up for a 350z in the future and possibly using my 240 as a beater..lol

jpark 04-11-2012 11:58 PM

all this argument over rep parts, i thought i was on hondatech or s2ki for a second :lol

TjAlmeida 04-12-2012 12:03 AM

as long as you don't put a huge wing on it then i would say go for the body kit and a half decent white paint job.

Don't mind people hating. Just buy whatever you like. Otherwise, you're just buying stuff that looks good to others, but not necessarily to you.

The real question is, what do *you* want to buy?

I just need to fix the body up and get a new paint job and call it a day. Like I said, I ain't looking to spend a lot of dough on this ride. Just enough to make it look decent for the summer. I'm removing the gay spoiler anyways.

Did someone call me?

Ironic that this thread pops up...

I ordered a lip for my car and they sent me the wrong item last week, let alone not even for the right car. The return shipping is gonna be too much so im shit out of luck and gonna have to take a hit on it, selling this cheap to try and recover my losses let me know if you're interested. I pm'd you as well.

Rocketz has a hotroad front bumper. Oddly enough.

rJZx 04-12-2012 08:26 PM

^Going to assume its a replica of a replica :troll:

SpuGen 04-12-2012 08:55 PM

Probably.

But also probably easier to get this shady ass bumper to fit, than finding legit Hot Road.
Except it wont look right without the Hot Road Sides.
Shitty.
