Thanks. I've seen pictures of your car sparingly on ma240...its looking nice

I've been slackin on the car, going to wash it and take it out this weekend. Hopefully i'll get a chance to snap some new pics

[NERV]

your car looks beautiful! Congrats!

[J ROK]

on point!!!

[Slammed180]

Did you tape it up for the ride home?
You should look into the 3M clear protective film.
Might be worth the investment??

[bboyoracle]

On the ride home I didn't bother. I just didnt want to show up to the meet with a car full of sand and dust (it snowed this past week) Also if it can prevent rock chips so why the hell not.

I thought about getting a clear bra but i've heard some reviews on it and it tends to turn yellow after a while.

[Silverbullet]

what the hell, i expected more pics from the meet... did u roll home right after?

I was watching Watchmen during the hours of the meet haha.

[bboyoracle]

theres a shit ton of pictures on vadriven. Grr I was wondering where you were!

[thesimpleS13]

nice build sir, love it!

[I10cruiser]

it looks so different now then from when you first posted the final product. . maybe im tripping but it looks soooo goood! congrats!

[FunctionFiRst]

I love how it looks, but I think some other wheels would make it POP even more, only cause their really Sedan-ish!

...Still looks different than most cars in here though!

I Dig it!

[95KA-Turbo]

Yeah, I saw this in person yesterday - it looks freaking awesome! I wasn't so sure about it when I saw the first pictures posted, but I can definitely say these more recent pictures capture it better, but it looks even better in person!

[drifter_for_life06]

nice fucking car man. +1

[nieko]

it kinda looks like he ended up slamming it ahah

i think hes tucking tire now no?

nice, pretty good job <3

[Touge Monsta]

Don't mean to jack your thread Waldo Man, but to emphasize how clean the car is these pics should do the car more justice

[Ninjabread]

Man, I LOVE this car because it's so different, and well executed.

A+++

[ZX88]

looks so good.

[roorr0]

you should feel/see the rear inner wheel wells...soo nicely done

once again, nice car waldo

next should be a crazier exhuast - more filling

[HyperLeafBlower]

is it wrong to say that this is my favourite picture of this car? I'm not sure why.

[SBCsx]

Same here haha looks sick

[druthafoo]

I shouldnt have been lazy and not gone to the meet. Gah, your car would be the only reason for me to go.... well the S15's wouldve been nice to see too :P.

[KidSaru]

Lowering your car more made a world of difference. I hated it a while back but now it looks A+

[420sx]

not my cup of tea, i think its ugly. but then its not like this car ever going to the track or anything.

trying to make a vip out of a 240 is like putting supra lights on a civic and molding wide body. it is still a civic.

i am glad YOU like it. thats all that matters.

[airhead]

where did you get the kit from?

I got the kit from Van at OneTonGarage. He's a official distributor for SuperMade products. You can email him at [email protected]

I agree, thats the main reason why I wouldnt get a clear bra.

Thanks people are going to hate regardless of what you do. Especially when it doesnt conform with the norm. I expected it, but no sense in getting all worked up over it. I built the car for myself, and any good comments really out weighs the bad.

Yoshida of SuperMade Japan actually posted it on his blog after I sent him some pictures. Seems like he liked it too, so that meant a lot:

Great job and hopefully later on youll switch out the rims and try something new(some crazzy offset rims if you do, post the picks)

I love my wheels lol! The wheels are a very important part of this build. I've seen some supermade projects with run-of-the-mill wheels and it really kills the car. The Varianza D3S really makes the car stand out and also keeps in with the VIP style that SuperMade aero brings. I'm really grateful that Work Wheels hopped on board with this project.

The Piaa P3000 are very bright and great for driving at night. I don't have any pictures though sorry

[r6_240sx]

Well done man!

Don't get those clear-bra shits. Get it professionally detailed, nice coat of wax and it'll be all you need to prevent from rock chips and keep it looking fresh.

I detail for a living and thats totally incorrect, sorry. Get the car detailed then install a clear bra. Make sure the paint is spot less underneath before the clear bra is installed.

what he said,

my cousin ran into a car that pulled out in front of him, not only did the clear bra held the front fender together in one major piece, upon pealing it off-the freakin paint and surface was perfect!

me and my cousin looked at each other with WTF?

if u like ur car that much, u can clear bra more area than ur blue taping, like mirrors, doors and such.

Getting it spotless requires to get it professionally installed usually in a filtered booth by someone who's certified.

Basically, it cost more than getting bumper repainted. Depending on where he applies the film requires more masking work for detailer so wax doesn't build up on the seem too.

A good clearcoat with a good detail after the clear has fully cured should be all that he needs. Then again I don't know what clearcoat the OP used. I think the main thing is to not freakin tailgate trucks, motorcycles, big rigs and whatnot.
