new aero for the 240, OPINONS????

I got the final pieces for the 240 so now she's ready for paint. I was debating for a while whether to get the JDM rear valences or a complete replacement rear bumper. After looking around at several bumpers I didn't quite find one that would match with the subtle styling of the JDM sideskirts. So I finally decided on the JDM rear valences. Plus everythings and OEM prduct and I don't have to deal with fiberglass. Enjoy, opinions welcome:biggrin:

I like the style a lot . . . but it looks like everything sticks out of the car a bit much - like the parts need to be molded into the body with fiberglass to get a clean look.

Maybe it's just the bright white color that makes them "pop" out more -it'll look much better when painted I'm sure.

the rear kind of looks unfinished since the valence only covers the sides.

I love the headlights (the whole front end for that matter) and I like how those rims make the tires look fat but I don't think the skirts or the valences flow very well with the rest of the car. XdisengageX stated my thoughts about how they kinda "pop" off the car as if they don't really belong. They might look better with a darker color though, maybe a dark silver/light gunmetal.

A flush-mount spoiler would finish off the rear. I've seen the rear valences just like that and it looks great.

One thing you're missing is lippage on the rims. C'mon, you're driving a 240... USE THOSE WHEELWELLS!!!!!

The sides and the front parts look good but I think the rear valance needs to be molded just on the very rear portion...it ends to abruptly imo...other than that very nice!

I saw a white 240 kitted last night driving, and it had some sort of wrap around rear lip that looked great.

If memory serves correct you were running a greddy kit on the ka24de so why the switch to sr20? Before any of you sr20 fanboys jump in, I want to hear his reason.

^I know why.


*psst* Because all my friends with KA-Ts worry about their motors constantly and you could put 87 in mine, run it all day on a dyno, and bring it back to me with a full tank of chlorox and I wouldn't worry one bit.

after a little consideration I decided to send the zenki valences back. Instead I am going to go with the kouki valences and rear bumper. Much better transition and doesn't look as awkward to me.

Quick chop with new valences and bumper and painted lip.

^Such a good decision! I didn't recommend those because I didn't know what they were called but that will look 100 times better. Great call!
