Its Here!! My S14.5
yup, i finally got her back from the body shop!! I love it. The fenders they made for me are perfect
But let me know what your opinion is, should i get the rest of the kit (GP sports type r kit) first or should i get rims (volk TE37's) first?

On the other hand you can rock some nice rims with no kit and still look good. Then fill in the kit by pair. Bumpers, Sideskirts, Rear valance.

1) get a stock (or stock like bumper)
2) get the rims, then
3) get the kit and put the bumper back on
sound good to anyone?

thanx for your idvice guys, well i just purchased new rear tires today, Falken FK 451's in 245/45zr16's so i might jus have to get the body kit first, i dont think my z rims are too bad at least there not steels or sumthin.
