Hey guys, just got my Brickyard back from a long summer of parts hunting. Clean and simple is the name of the game for me.
Its now dropped on Swift Spec-R's, rocking some Nismo LMGT4's, and has a new '08 front end done right! (front bumper, reflectors, 3 front grille pieces, tow cover, radiator shields, full fender liners, etc, all directly from Nissan to make it mount up correctly and look like it came on the car from the factory) Is this the first Brickyard with an OEM 06-08 front? I'm very pleased with the way it turned out!
Enjoy the pics!

Thanks!
Maybe a small spacer for the front if I can find a great deal on one, 15mm max. 06 bug style headlights I'm personally not a fan of, but I will clear out mine one of these days.
and I'm not even thinking about more of a drop, honestly I was thinking of selling these springs for some Tein S-techs because the ones I have now make the car almost un-drivable. I need boards to get into my driveway and my rear tires rub on any little bump.
There's actually slits cut into the sidewalls of my brand new tires now because of it, not sure how safe that is. I think its mainly because the spring rates are lower than the stock springs so they compress more than they use to. It rides real nice but may not be practical. I haven't had a chance to get in the car since I got it back so I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet about that. The fenders were supposed to get rolled this weekend but at last minute I was called out of town.

Brickyard is purple on cloudy days, its the natural combination of red and black. The only way to appreciate the color is in direct sunlight. I can't tell you how many compliments I've gotten on it, or how many "Is that a factory color? Wow I like it" comments I've had from people walking by on a nice day. Just thank god it doesn't turn brown in some lighting like Interlagos Fire.

hehe, IF is a sick color, but I just can't get over the dull brown it sometimes gets! I'd probably still get one if I could get it with a non-revup motor, I do like the effect it has in most lighting.

Lookin good man, still haven't gotten rid of the chromies though I see. What offsets are you with those wheels, any rubbing? Btw, what color lugs do you have? I see in your sig you have the Rays.
Also, I have some clear bumper lenses sitting around if you want em. Cant use them anymore with my 08 front.

offset as of tomorrow is 19x9.5 +8 19x10.5 +13. And thanks for the offer on the clear lenses but i actually prefer the ones i have now.
