Choosing exhaust and body kit

The first stages of my car are coming together and it is time to make a final decision on my exhaust....HKS Dragger or 5zigen Fireball, any open opinions?? Just wanted to ask if you could put any body kit on the CL-S which one would you choose??? I have several options in mind before we send it off to the body shop. Thanks for your help!

Peace out!

Got the HKS too. Pretty happy with them though I wish the can was a little smaller to be less noticable. The sound is perfect since you can't hear it at idle and really gets going at VTEC range. Good luck on your decisions.

oh, well, in that case ... the SEMA CL ... or just the TL ... something plain, simple, out of polyurethane ... if you make a mold, there are probably several hunderd people on here that would order the kit.

I like the way the 5zigen Fireball looks. I have not heard the sound, but they look sweet.

body kits

First exhaust then the body kit (for measuring purposes so that the kit works around the exhaust), as far as the JT Autostyle kit..i may go with that and customize it...the rear valiance is way too large and i dislike the fins so they have to go. The front is round and are cars come to a point so that has to be modified and the side skirts are nothing....i am thinking about the TL front lip but a lil lower too and possibly the TL side skirts, however i would like an air damn on the side skirts so i may alter the TL side or look for one out their and make it fit. The rear is the hardest because the TL and CL are nothing alike in the rear. I want something that houses the exhaust and takes away that bubble back. Some skyline kits look like they might adapt well too...that is why I am looking for suggestions!!Thanks ....
