giving everyone a break from the half and half job, here is my 240. its paint used to be marron, with OEM foam spoiler, and no OEM lip spoiler. now it includes a new *free* wing i picked up, a $30 OEM lip spoiler, a do-it-myself custom OEM hood, $5 a piece trim rings on my steelies.
all together, from red to black, shit to hit... $700

Hey man, car looks good, but I don't think I would leave the picture of your license plate up.   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

as for the hood i dont think its even carbon fiber and i dont know how safe that would be when it rains...but it does look good, how did you do it?

damn people, pay attention. He only answered those questions in like, the initial post, 3 responses prior.

Is that a carbon fiber hood? : a do-it-myself custom OEM hood

are those watanabe's wheels? : $5 a piece trim rings on my steelies.

KiDyNomiTe · 10-11-2002, 10:09 PM

Is that the Saleen Mustang Spoiler (at least I think it was Saleen). IIRC someone with a red Fastback had that spoiler, I think his liscence plate was JDM Rice or sumin like that, or am I mixing up to fastbacks here.

boxmod · 10-11-2002, 10:12 PM

*if u would happen to do it exactly in my dimensions/placement of vent*
then the rain is no biggie...the hood opening is right at the mouth of the fan shroud so it gives the engine a nice mist during rain when motor is running and when sitting, just drips of plastic fan blades. once i get elec fan it wont touch a thing dripping in, driving rain will still mist obviously. $60 for hood, 20 for materials to cut/bondo/fiberglass it. directions are here:

the wing:: i looked at a car parked next to me at school and it confirmed my belief... its off an older body trans-am, (firebird). some of them have center brake light some dont.

Tyler Durdan · 10-12-2002, 02:28 AM

oops.

boxmod · 10-12-2002, 10:27 AM

are you ok? this is totally a different person let alone a different car..... the half job was a 1via (american coupe) and mine is the 180sx body (american fastback)....

Tyler Durdan · 10-12-2002, 04:11 PM

Sorry, I thought it was the same car...just repainted.

Car looks good though.

Nerfdude · 10-13-2002, 03:27 PM

nice looking car, but... what's up with the black x's across your tails? is that electrical tape?

5leeper · 10-13-2002, 07:50 PM

nice job... does the hood actually make any differance in cooling???

some racers tape their headlights to prevent them from shattering during a race... as far as the rears i have no idea... some one correct me if i'm wrong, but thats just my exp.

You're thinking of the wrong person. That's Richard's car with the carbon hood, Clearcorners lights, kouki-style bumper and taillights, and Mustang spoiler. I think he got rid of it.

boxmod · 10-14-2002, 07:04 AM

those Xs on my tails are indeed electrical tape... it is to keep the lights from shattering. the reason for my tailights is more style(i dont plan on hitting the back end with anything). its part of jap drift styles i pick up from vids/mags over the years. the Xs were one of my first mods.
