i dont understand why you would get springs and wheels first? if you get the kit on then find out the hieght and everythign then you can select the right springs to drop the right amount correct? vis versa if you got the kit on second.. how would they adjust it for cleareance? thats what i dont understand... i would figure springs/wheels second would be easier to fix the problem

^some people see the car incomplete with a bodykit and stock rims. I went with the bodykit, cuz it is cheaper than the rims I want... I really wanted to mod.

Yeah that is one reason I got the kit, for good wheels you are going to spend more. But I will probably have wheels by this summer. Hopefully.

i went with my suspension first before anything, mine is fully adjustable anyway so all that would never matter to me, my wheels are coming next, and body kit (if i decide to go with one) comes last.

I decided to go blue, so I would stand out. I was thinking about putting mirrored underneath, then the color matches perfect. I still might add it if am able to add after the blue is already on. The tint guy says I would have a high probably of getting a ticket because it is illegal due to not being able to see into the windows.

dude... i'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this one.

Its a classy, clean, URETHANE, kit.

Anyone know if this is the EXACT same kit as the one from streetconcept Tsunami? especially since you said you got yours from nopionline, which is called the nopiT2000?

Same manufacturer? I'm extremely interested because you mention that the kit fits pretty good without any major modification, which is always a nightmare.

man, you are lucky to have found the Tsunami sideskirts. Couldn't find them for Snowfl8k's 8, so ended up going with the Tsunami front and Ings+1 sides and rear. Loved the Tsunami sides. Good looking 8.

And for those who didn't know, Tsunami hasn't made a rear. Check out Show'ndrift for some pics of a clean 8 in red, and some links to dealers that have the kit.

No side markers is better than fricken clear corners any day. When was it that clear corners came to be popular, oh it had to be the early 90's...so last century.

i like that body kit a lot, looks like a clean *** install, the scissor doors dont fit the 8 well but it looks like a good job so i give you props for that, my only beef is that blue tint, too ricey for me but whatever floats your boat.
