I like the paint and bumper. If it were mine I would get rid of the carbon fiber stuff, that lady hanging off your tow hook and get different wheels.

!Zar! · 12-05-2011, 02:37 PM

And get rid of those foglights.

And buy kakume headlights.

mxracerjason · 12-05-2011, 02:42 PM

Livin the Nissan life

Fearell · 12-05-2011, 02:59 PM

Sorry BRO. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I was just telling you what I liked/didn't like on your car. However, it is YOUR car so feel free to do whatever ricey things you wish.

holemilk00 · 12-05-2011, 03:08 PM

So did you shave your trunk keyhole and put a Nissan emblem there?
Also what offsets are you running? No spacers?

mxracerjason · 12-05-2011, 03:14 PM

The emblem was an after thought and it's over the hole. Do'nt know offset, there are no spacers. Ordered to fit a 300ZX TT

Your car is clean, but it's not the end all be all of 2 tone cars. I only say that because you post like it is. I don't like the carbon fiber either. And I'm pretty sure that more than 00.1% don't like it as well. Just because someone doesn't like what you have done with your car doesn't mean you have to get all defensive and butthurt. All that matters is what YOU think of it at the end of the day. And vs-xx's are a dime a dozen in Japan. They go for $250-500 USD per set in mild/normal offsets (like your wheels) all day long. Just a heads up.

Carbon fiber is not making your car look new. Nobody is going to mistake your car for 2012 Ferrari. Not to mention, two tones screams 80's era. So that again, is not helping.

As for your VS-XX, they aren't anything to brag about since their sizing sucks.

I had vs-xx for a hot minute. Threw them in the dumpster a few weeks later.

And you only wear Vans? Sorry to hear that bro.

But I do like your paint. Shit's freshhhhhhhhh

Your car is very clean. Doesn't mean it's everyone's style. The carbon fiber lip just doesn't flow with the lines of the bumper in my eyes. I would replace the headlights with a set of bricks. I also prefer the standard grills instead of the fog lights. I like VS-XX, but I don't like your sizing, front is sunk in more than rear. I'm guessing 8" wide in front?

I was thinknig of getting a metal scrape plate thingy to put under the lip

!Zar! · 12-06-2011, 10:46 AM

Yeah, make a skid plate for it or something.

I figure urethane is made to be scraped.

soreballz · 12-06-2011, 10:55 AM

Scraping lips never hurt anything. It's when you charge a dip real hard and smash the lip that you need to worry.

So you have to be a frame tech, body man, painter, builder of custom cars spanning 30+ years or Chip Foose?

Just got off the phone with ol Chippy. He wanted me to tell you this.

axiomatik · 12-06-2011, 02:18 PM

That's right, I forgot Chip Foose hangs a stripper doll from the bumper of all his creations. Signature styling element.

If you don't care about everyone's opinion why do you keep this argument going? And what gives someone with 30 years experience more right to modifying a 20 year old car than the typical 20-something year old who messes with these cars. I hate using these terms but maybe the reason why everyone is making all these "negative" comments is because regardless of how clean your car is the "stance" and "fitment" and other miscellaneous do-dads that it has come from the standpoint of someone 10 years out of the era that these cars belong in. I mean my dad built a pretty cool lookin 67 mustang but if I gave him my car to go to town on it proly wouldn't look very good regardless of how clean it was.

its not about whats on your car, its about how it all works together,
the cars 20 years old, carbon fiber in natural shapes doesnt work,
a stripper hanging from the muffler looks trailer trashy
as for the wheels, i cant really complain lol
