Took a Dremel to my front bumper =P - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

BlazedGlory · 04-17-2005, 06:45 PM

Some almost-good updated pictures of my S13:

As you can see I took a dremel tool to my front bumper lol. I should do custom body work =P

I'll try and get some good pictures some day. But then you'd be able to see how crappy the paint is...

Also, note that I did the Mercedes sidemarker thing and some clear turn signals in the front, but after I realized how bright and crappy they all looked being so, well, bright, I got some smoke spray paint and tinted them all out. I believe it was Testors "window tint" for model cars and stuff...

I just recently got the car - it actually has some KYB AGX struts and I think eibach springs... I need to get a full setup though. So many things to do, so little money =P

well now we're totally into sub-stereotypes aren't we?
stereotypically japanese asians are not cheap... but I can definitely tell you "stereotypically", which asians ARE...

What IC is that for the S13?

nismo2491 · 04-18-2005, 02:58 PM

is it me or does that remind you a lot of a 97-99 2g eclipse w/ a front mount...

**ThatGuy** · 04-18-2005, 05:15 PM

Best looking "hacked" stock bumper, in my opinion, is this one from JSpec's Project S13 II.

Aero Bumper with enlarged opening for IC, and Bomex Lip. Pure Sex!

Actually I have no idea. I recently got the car with most of the things already done. It looks like custom piping, and I'm not really sure what core it is at all. Is there any way I could find out by measuring it or something?

JKim0901 · 04-20-2005, 01:20 AM

heres my crappy as attempt to feed more air to my intercooler

Rusker · 04-20-2005, 10:36 AM

Now just paint the edges black again. I think I can see a hint of yellow. Sorry, I'm anal about that kind of stuff.

Looks good though!

JKim0901, anymore pics of your car!? Looks nice! I'm also rocking the white pignose. lol

Nah son. Definitely got to be EmperorMike's S13 with the pignose (has a silvia front now though)...

And my old bumper was totally second best.

MakotoS13 · 04-22-2005, 04:43 PM

-to know where you got your smoked amber lights

and

- to remove your foglights with a sawzall.

yes you do see yellow. I'm not too worried about it because the car really needs a paintjob anyway (difficult to tell from the pictures)...

I don't know why everybody is against foglights. So I'm not helping with the smoked lights bish =P

J/K Anyway - I did the mercedes sidemarker install on the front and rear using the tutorial on this site. At the same time I got some clear front signals. After installing all of that I realized that it all really looked like ashhole... So I busted out the ol' noggin' and went to a hobby store and got some model paint. It was Testors "window tint" or something like that for model cars. Then just coat it to your desire.

Please everybody note that I was the first to do this though
