wide body conversion

whats up guys. im new to the site and i need some info. ive been racing hondas and acuras for about 4 or 5 years now. i just bought a 94 240sx. im trying find a s14 or s15 conversion for it and get a full wide body kit that will fit it. where is the best place to get these from. (mainly the wide body). im going full drift look and performance. please help me out asap. im going to convert it before anyone sees it...

Planning on really drifting, or just the look? If its just the look, your best bet is a site like www.raretrick.com or some other site that can special order wide body parts. There is sites like GTP that sells their copies of the JDM widebody kits but they are fake, but if you dont care, thats a good place too.

If you plan on really drifting, i wouldnt do any body modifications at all as you will end up hitting something during drift sessions. Even pros lose their bumpers and stuff, and they drift on tracks.

no the thing is that you WILL get messed up, its not really a matter of if. If you hit a bump mid drift, your tire at full lock will come up into the fender and crack it, your front bumper will crack its front lip. I had a buddy with fiberglass fenders and front bumper, he took them off a week later because he had cracked them all and had to zip tie the whole thing together. It will happen, and its really expensive unless you are sponsored.

hahaha yeah no one scared me off. im right here. and yes i love my honda and ill always have a honda. and actually my civic looks almost exactly like that one except that the moldings are painted, i have a mugen lip, cf hood, cf wing, and cf vis mirrors. i also have an accord sir h22 motor swap with a soon to be added vortec sc...
now back to the 240, i understand that body kits will get trashed but thats what i want. if anyone can tell me where i can find the wide body for it i would much appreciate it. i came on here to try to get some help and talk to people that enjoy the sport not to dog anyone so lets all be cool...
peace ,
