Hey everyone, i'm thinking of buying a body kit for my s2 r33 gtst but can't decide which one. I kinda like the veilside bodykit are there any others around? if you were to buy a body kit which look will you go for?

I'm after something that will make the car look tuff..so to speak

Cheers

Veilside is nice, you just have to pick the right one and have a nice set of wheels.

But seriously tho, if you get a Veilside kit, you car has to modded pretty tuff to live up to its perfomance name, other wise its just rice IMO.

Nismo Factory bodykit can top off the car nicely.

Or get the Nismo Front lip for S2 GTS-T and R33 GTR side-skirts.

I think we (I'll do it one day, I promise) need to create a thread with all the different types of kits that are available for the 33 for people to reference instead of a whole heap of threads about what kit is the best, as obviously it's personal taste.

i've got a veilside kit, i used to like it, now i really don't like it, especially the front bar. probably going to change the front bar to do-luck when i get some cash.

but seriously, get what you think looks good, everyone has different taste

I've had some serious dramas with bodykits! Wasted so much money in the process, started with a 'Suborn' bar back in the day when i first got my car - stupid choice that was! Poorly made and cracked and wonky and looked shite, then went to the Veilside put on by Jetspeed - another stupid choice! The bar was so poorly made and didn't match up at all. Not only did it look bad, the quality was shocking and left and right weren't even the same dimensions :-p I used to like the look of the veilside but as said above you need a tuff car to pull it off.

So after a few years, I finally came to the greatest decision i've ever made!.....COMPLETE CUSTOM KIT! It's the only way, i recommend it to everybody if you have the time and cash and design ideas. You gotta know what you want and take it to someone that can make it work. Freddy from Topstage did my whole thing www.topstage.com.au

the best is the factory kit imho

your car will never look as good as the product promo photos you are looking at in japan

you wont be prepared to pay for the $$$ so youll just get cheap copies which wont line up, have gaps etc

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
