here's a link to the other thread that had the sidemarkers and the inside of the engine bay.
this is before i had the nismo kit and the stereo done...so, the car has just the springs on it. also, the front has the other grill on it (which i am selling if anyone wants!!).
enjoy!

ares....contact zluva!!
he just had a bunch of LED's put in the stock reflector. Holes drilled. LED's installed (i think it was silicon and something used...to keep it water tight). and they were all connected to the same wire. all in all...it was a great job...and they add a little touch to the car....even though i wish they were aluminum reflectors with LED's in them. maybe i'll have to have a set of those as well!! and a set of the z4 lookalike side emblem LEDs (not the ones with the 3 little LED's in the z. the one that has the LED's around the whole side emblem! those are sweet!

djkern, sweet looking ride. If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy your NISMO kit and where did you get it painted? Did you have the same shop that painted your plastic parts inside your engine bay paint the kit, and how much did they charge to do it?
This is the next step for my ride . . . a NISMO rear wing and a sweet looking engine bay.

I know most of people recommand Alpine over Kenwood for sound quality. But I think this X969/x869 looks better. (I know it is a CD player, sound quality should always the 1st pirority). And this HU cost all most the as same as a Alpine 9815 too. So do you suggest I go for Alpine other kenwood X869/x969?
BTW, is any problem with your X969's motorized pandel open and close with the deck kit you have? is it Metra Kit? thanks

yeah, the kenwood looks better with the two faces that flip down and out....but, i'm gonna go for some quality. this stereo is great...it really hasn't been a problem...just some minor annoying stuff...but, you have many more options with the alpine unit. nothing wrong with the motors or anything. more like problems with it shutting off on its own, erasing the preset channels on it's own...doing annoying crap like that. i've had it looked at...and it's installed perfectly. nothing wrong at all. i think i just got a lemon! haha.
Alpine CDA-9815 - $500 retail
Alpine CDA-7998 - $800 retail
Kenwood Excelon KDC-X969 - $600 retail
Kenwood Excelon KDC-X869 - $480 retail
yes, there are many places online to get these for less money (just make sure you go for ones that aren't refurbished!)
but, check out this alpine...it's incredible!

for what i'm putting in the car...i'd rather have the quality. this is going to be one sick set up! i'll post pics when the whole thing is done. i'm anxious to get it started...but, i gotta wait till it's off the road!

anyway, it's a great stereo...i have no complaints. it's got a lot of features and functions. the alpine just has more.
i would have sold you mine if it was 100%.

i think the shop that did the final sanding and touch-up and painting had to heat up a few places since it all shifted a tad when it was shipped. but, he said it wasn't too tough of a job
