i think you mean wretches, dry wretches.

Ive got a complete kit here including the rear valance panels, the skirts look pretty good with a full kit.

I wasn't saying I like them I was just pointing them out. Part's like these are rare here and now.....especially if there original BBS and in mint condition.....

in my opinion

Do you know what, When I first got this car I came from the Import scene, so 180zx's, Silvia's, Supra's,Skyline's etc... So Natrally I looked around for body kit's for it to make it look 'better'(Japlish) Then as time has grown on me so has the original look's of this car.

I do not ever plan to change anything execpt maybe if I can find this rare front bar that I saw once....but that's it, I love the original style and look's of these little beast's just lowered with a bit of lip, they look awsome.....

To steal the pic from carshine again.

I dont think it looks that bad complete. Its when you only see bits of it that it looks weird and out of place.

Yeah, I got a set of those from the wrecker last week, effectively for free as I bought a few things. That, a Zender 3-piece rear valance, a Kamei rear spoiler, a BBS rear spoiler and a Motorsport front bar/spoiler.

Greg where did you go to purchase all those bits??.......

PJ: I just noticed that too, I wonder what driveline he has.....5 lug = bigger brakes = bigger HP.....Anyone know anything bout this car at all??

And I have to agree and say that the kit does look nice all together, to drive a 320 with just the skirt's would be just plane ricer style...

It doesnt have a 5 stud pattern, you have been fooled by the design of the wheels. Turn the brightness up on your monitor and you will see the shine of only 4 wheel bolts.

I was fooled by those wheels as well. I didn't know they were 4-bolt until Hatter said something.

I scored all those bits at Pick-a-Part in Kilsyth and cleaned 'em out.

lol... you have a good pick a part out your way then!

I have a Kamei rear spoiler I scored at U-Pull-It but I've never spotted any other e21 body kit bits there!

It's amazing what you find sometimes... I missed out on a full set of Bilstein suspension with eibach springs earlier this year because I didn't have the tools to get them off with me, and when I came back they were gone!

I get lucky occasionally, not very often. The funny thing is last week they just got two E21s, both done up as JPS, both originally orange. No good mechanicals, just cosmetics.
