Default Best body kit besides Junction Produce and Wald?? And Other stuff??

I'm trying to plan ahead on my project since I don't wanna constantly change my mind about what to change on my JZ147. Same thing applies with the performance like the catback exhaust, turbo, headers, etc. So any tips, anyone??

Personally I think it would be pretty easy to get a front bumper designed for the 2GS and cut it from the trim line and mould it to the 1st gen. The flow of both cars are very close.

Bleh!! those kits are sooooo outdated and over 50% of them are discontinued. Here is a link to some more modern kits


Vlene
Aimgain
Job Design


But personally I would take a 2GS either Mode Parfume or K-Break front bumper and chop off the bottom half and mould it on

its just the fact that i try to narrow down my search but get frustrated so I decide to ask questions and knowing how much the forums on here really help. had anyone ever consider orders kits from andy's autosport?

All the stuff from andys autosport is cheap knockoff stuff. Look for an authorized distributor. Check the vendor ads. Try l-tuned or memoryfab.com.

the Job design kit is a small kit (not at low to the ground) in general compared to any other kit out there and even smaller then aimgain/vlene even though they are somewhat similar. But IMO, If I was buying a kit, Id chose Vlene, aimgain, then job design or the Kazz type II
