Default updated pix... need opinions

The mods your looking at:

c/f b-pillar and emblem insert sticker things
veilside v1 side skirt addons(a complete ***** to install and makes the car unable to be lifted on a regular 4prong lift)
seibon TT replica front lip
replica nismo rears (I think one looks dented...)
the black tint 15%









I had eyelids (colormatched) on it, but they went to crap, and the veilside side addons look really crappy from up close...I wonder if I should just get whole new sideskirts....

opinions plzzzz thanks

Left Nismo rear looks dented
Sides do not seem to flow
Overall, it's hard to judge the whole package on stock wheels, but seems like you're getting there though. Good luck!

You need to let me do a color matched 06+ headlight for you with some carbon fiber to tie in the rest of your car. I'll even buy those ugly 03-05's off you to make it easier.

lol...yea in the pictures the sideskirt addons looked great...but they are just a pain in the ***.

the nismo's were from punksterz626, i thought they would work...but crap this is just annoying.

guess i'll take em off next chance I get...hell might as well take off the damn rears too...

ugh...owell at least i tried.

as far as wheels go, i'm gana get some p45r's 18x9.5 in a few months, no real need for them now, but that is what i'll be riding on...

thanks for the input

Lightbulb I...

think you've made a strong attempt. I would try to find more of a focal point of the car and move outwards from there. You mentioned you were going to add wheels. That is a great start. I would do this, remove the Veilside wings and refocus the profile. Perhaps you could add this Nismo skirts and fix the dented left rear.

These changes will make a big difference. Good luck with your future moves

^thanks

I am going to remove and sell the sides, just not my taste in person, though they seem to look great on everyone's car except mine, lol. Probably sell the nismo rears too, though they look really good...maybe I'll go back to the guy who painted them and see if he can fix em up...hopefully.

as far as sides go, I can't find a good look without going overboard. I was originally going to get the full vertex kit. after some thought and the area where I live/work it isn't the best of ideas...

I might as well just get rid of it all, leave the front lip (which I wish was more aggressive) and keep the car stock...hell not even put the stock mudguards up either...

Arrow If...

you feel the desire for a body kit however, prefer something understated, have you considered the INGS + 1 LX?

lol.

the ings isn't aggressive enough for my taste, hell the seibon isn't aggressive enough.

I will leave the lip and rears (after I get that one rear fixed) and sell the sides...roll without them for a bit until I figure out what i want...
