That's garbage dude. Piece together your own kit and rent a welder to do your downpipe etc. Spend $ on a decent turbo, wastegate, and ecu tune, but wait for good deals and you will come out less than that junk with name brand parts where it matters. You can get away with an ebay turbo manifold and s13 intercooler kit though.

Looks pretty nasty; its also on the inner panel, which is no bueno. You'll have to cut it, weld and, well, looks like youre gonna need a wide body, unless you can find the entire section and someone who wont charge you more than 1-2 grand in labor...

Yeah, I'd recommend cutting out the rust and then weld that section shut, give is a good coat of rustoleum or whatever can of spray paint you got and get some mild over fenders. Way cheaper route than to replace that quarter panel and wheel well lining... and whatever else is effected.

Do you guys recommend certain overfenders beyond others? I was looking at Chargespeed or Origin -- those are the only two I could really find though. I'll probably go that route instead then.
Thanks for the input...I'll post pictures once I acquire some as soon as I can.

Are these the ones you're talking about? I've been trying to find LEGIT M-sport ones, but I can't seem to locate them. I heard Chargespeed was also decent from what I've read...and may go that route if I can't find any better. This does look like it would solve my problem and allow for wider wheels at the same time. MIGHT AS WELL.

No, those are knock offs, requires a lot of sanding and a bit of bondo to smooth out the surface. Check out Version:Select, 50mm overfenders, but will def meet the needs if you go super wide tires.
Version:Select is pricey, but very little work required for a smooth surface and installation. I know of only 3-4 genuine complete S14 kits from the actual Version:Select company that were purchased and used on cars here in the US, one of them being my friend in the Bay Area.
Here is a list of certified dealers of Version:Select =
