Default Body Kit/Turbo Opinions

What are your guys' favorite body kits? and just pretend money is not a factor.

Also, how much is a nice mediocre turbo, nothing way expensive, nothing crappy. Anyone know?:eh:

Mediocre means Below Average so its close to being crappy

I'd go for a JDM TYPE R INTEGRA Conversion Kit.

Why not reverse it and say that you want a turbo, and that money is of no concern, and get a mediocre bodykit. :thumbup:

Here's an amazingly simple and logical idea:

Forget about the body kit. Use the money you would have spent on it to pay for a GOOD turbo setup.

JDM ITR Front-end with full C-west kit looks pretty dizzope IMO...

There is no such thing as a decent turbo that is not way expensive yet not way crappy. I think Greddy is your best bet....but again, I think you have your priorities mixed up. Just spend money on a nice kit for now (since that seems important for your needs) and save up for a GOOD turbo set-up. No point in going half-assed on the engine when you're willing to spend $$$ for a non-functional body-kit.

A complete turbo kit, all brand new parts -- including a clutch and all the necessary fuel system upgrades and ecu (Standalone) crap is going to run you a little over 5gs.

That's EVERYTHING though. (I priced it out when I almost did it). I mean, everything. Hondata ECU, RC Engineering Injectors, Drag Gen 3 kit, all the guages, lines, fuel pump, oil pan, clutch, upgraded wastegate, EVERYTHING to make the car 100% relaible at 7-9psi on stock internals.
