Well, considering I lost everything that I had going for my sedan, it's time to start over. This time I am going to go with a body kit. Before you get all , here let me show you pics. It's a Cwest kit. I am not going with the sideskirts though, because they only come for coupes. I am going to get mugen side skirts. The reason i am doing this, is because I like the cwest front and rear bumper. The front looks stock, with a grill and lip molded to it. And same with the rear looks stock, but with a lip molded w/ vents. I know you all hate kits and what not, but I think the cwest kits are sharp.

For the unfamiliar, here are some pics:

Front:


Sides (pictured on an eg hatch, but are the same for sedan):


Rear:

I want to get the exterior looking right first, stock sedans are ugly, that and I am fine with the y8 for the time being. if I ever come upon an ls or b20 block for a good price ill snatch it up and work on it till it's ready to be dropped in, but I am going to wait until probably next summer to work on that, my current engine dosent even have 100k on it yet, I have no need for a swap.

That kit is nice, but it's basically a lip kit. Defeates the whole purpose of why I liked the cwest kit, that and it's some coin.

hey Bo, whatever floats you boat bro, and at least you picked a nice looking kit. As far as the motor... Im sure its something you ar eplanning to do down the road, but make sure you do things right and learn from otehr people's mistakes.

Advice from me: If you are getting a kit at least find a polyurethane one. its more expensive but it will work out better in the long run for you.
