Even more of my body kit and front end conversion

Every thing is finished now, except I need to get a good grille and also either eyelids or the OEM rubber pieces for above the headlights

The pictures below with the sideskirts on are when the sideskirts are not yet bolted down...they are just in place with the door holding them in

I am especially happy with how the bumper sits relative to the headlights....very little gap between the headlights and bumper (no sag)

Hahah we are just straight Nissan

My grandma has a 1999 Altima, my mom has the Murano, we used to have a Maxima in 2004

My dad drives the sentra for now, ever since i stole the S14 from him

It had over 170,000 miles on it so i took it off his hands....

I am trying to get him in the game with a 300ZX or something

Yeah so it's version select....ran me $1000 plus shipping for the bumpers, sideskirts, and fenders

All of it is fiberglass reinforced plastic

I have never worked with ANY body kits before, so I can't honestly compared

In general, I am quite pleased with the fitment

Everything lines up (on the outside) as well as I could expect.

There are a few spots that I needed to dremmel the crap out of..

Example...where the corner lights go into the fenders, I had to dremmel that

Basically, the outside looks great, but to make it fit that well took hours and hours of work......didn't come with any pre-drilled holes (maybe i was out of my mind to think that it would)

Putting it on myself was tough, bc its hard to hold something in place, and then blindly drill etc, hoping it lines up.

All in all, it feels quite sturdy once it is bolted down correctly.

I am afraid every time i hit a bump, it is gonna crack now!!! Hahah my suspension is absurdly stiff.....

looking good, and not having predrilled holes is a blessing, the fitment looks great as well. good luck!
