Need some exterior guidance for the '86 GT-S Coupe

Post by GamblerZ »

With the engine at the machine shop getting cleaned up and reassembled, my son and I are at the stage where we are ready to begin hammering out the body, but the front bumper on this little GT-S is trashed. Originally, we were considering the Trueno look. Now we think a simple body kit (with a mildly aggressive look) might be a better solution than sourcing all the bits and pieces to get that always coveted JDM look. We know there must be some good (and less expensive) alternatives out there, but we just have no way to weed through what is considered as garbage by most, or what is the best bang for the buck look for the Coupe.

What recommendations can you offer? Where is the best place to purchase from? And, can you please attach pics with the respective kits installed on a Coupe, not a Hatch. We are both visual people. ;)

We look forward to your advice and guidance.

Shipping costs to West Texas kill that for me.

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like a J-Blood kit on kouki jdm bumpers and some fender flares

That looks like the CBY Front, Skirts and Flares. The rear spats are J-Blood.
