The Nissan Silvia S13 Widebody Kit, Explained

Every S13 widebody search ends up at the same question: which body is your car? The S13 came as the Silvia coupe, chassis code PS13, and as the 180SX hatchback, RPS13, which Americans bought as the 240SX fastback alongside a 240SX coupe. Widebody kits are made for one body or the other, and the coupe and hatch kits do not swap. The name that dominates the searches is Rocket Bunny, the kit line from TRA Kyoto that is now sold under the Pandem name. Pandem's own shop lists four generations of S13 kit: V1 at $3,350, V2 at $3,360, V3 for the PS13 coupe with Japanese headlights at $4,700, and a newer V4. US resellers price them close to that. ShopJDM lists the Pandem x Rocket Bunny V1 for the hatch at $2,920, the V2 for the coupe at $3,030, the V4 coupe kit at $4,105, and the V3 hatch kit in carbon at $5,650. GReddy, the US distributor, sells the full RPS13 kit for $4,500. Not every Rocket Bunny S13 part is a widebody, though. GReddy's PS13 V1 aero kit, at $1,890, is bumpers and side skirts, and it does not widen the arches. Origin Labo is the other big name, and its approach is different: bolt-on overfenders sold front and rear in widths from 20 mm to 75 mm per side, so you choose exactly how wide to go. Replica kits fill the bottom of the market, such as a Rocket Bunny V3-style kit listed at $1,188 with half paid up front.

Silvia S13 Widebody Kit: The Cost Breakdown

Price an S13 widebody in three tiers. The cheapest is Origin Labo-style overfenders: Nengun lists Origin Labo's front +55 mm fenders at about $166–$173 and the rear +75 mm at about $188–$196, in unpainted FRP. They bolt or rivet over trimmed factory arches, which suits a drift car that will be crashed and repaired. The middle tier is a full genuine Pandem or Rocket Bunny kit at roughly $2,900–$4,700 for FRP, or about $5,650 for carbon, plus shipping, which on a full kit is not small. The top tier is the same kit with professional fitting and paint, and on a 30-plus-year-old S13 that often includes rust repair in the arches and sills before anything is cut. Plan on $3,000–$6,000 of bodywork and paint on top of the kit, which is our estimate, so a finished Pandem S13 lands around $7,000–$12,000 before wheels. Replica kits look cheap but need more fitting time, and some sellers take half the money up front with long waits. Wheels and suspension decide whether the arches look filled. Wide S13 builds usually run deep 15–18 inch wheels at very low offsets on the 4x114.3 pattern of most S13s, or convert to 5-lug hubs for more choice. Coilovers with adjustable height and camber are close to mandatory. Last, check what you are cutting. Clean, uncut S13s are getting rarer and pricier, so many owners pick bolt-on overfenders that come off, rather than cutting the factory arches for a full kit.
