Flame paint on nose, draw the attention away from any imperfections that way.

I would paint a non factory color, given the chance....

I've always liked Laguna Seca blue, aka BMW smurf blue.

I put on the spoiler today and the deck lid wont stay up so i called nissan to see if they had some stronger shocks for the deck lid, would you believe those damn things cost me $260. Man whats up with the high prices, do any of you guys have the stronger one to hold up the deck lid, and if so how much did you pay. here is some more pics of a days work.

There was a member on these boards selling hatch struts a while back. They were suppose to be stronger than stock to accommodate the extra weight from a wing.
