I ended up going with V2 kit from Strafe. Couldn't afford authentic

Third. How much did Fantasy quote you on the paint match?
I've had my V2 kit on for a few days and I want it painted ASAP!
It's going to be anywhere from 2-5K. I asked max price so I could get funds 3-months prior to doing paint and he said 5K max. I am hope it's somewhere in the 3.5 area though. I am also getting other things fixed besides only paint. So that will go into the price as well.

you're close. don't blow it with silly led's.
Yes, you do make a good point. I dislike those amber ones. Silver/clear were OK, but I thought these would look good...

If the front side-markers don't turn out good with the lights then I will get rid of them for sure. I dunno about canards, not really a fan of them.

Maybe someday. If I was going for a change I would get some Volks that are all black. I wish these GT-S's were just a chrome lip. Not the whole inside. Oh well.

Love the front, hate the rear. Maybe you should custom fit a Voltex diffuser on the rear?


If not and your trying to copy the stock Nismo look are you going to get a Nismo number plate?


If so what number?

I've priced them out too and got a nice low price deal on a full kit. PM me and I will share.

Voltex diffuser...I am not a fan. Haha, I never thought about doing the number plate. Probably not. I didn't even know you could get one but if for some reason down the road I did...I would get 0007.

looks good Goose, i recommend shaving the reflectors, removing the grill in the center, and filling the hamburger indent for a nice cleaner look.

Wouldn't any Nismo driver be posing as his car since it's boosted?

Twinsies turbos > Nismo anyday


Unless the GTM in your sig stands for something else?

Yea I am not a fan either, but I have decided that this rear bumper was the reason it was created.



Seriously, check the lines. It would be the wickedest V3 rear ever.

^^^^ The MCR Nismo's are pure sex! I plan to have the only redline in the states, unless someone else beats me to it. I've been slacking off latley! But I am working on it.

+1 I personally dislike the canards.

I have a V3 bumper and looked at them for some time now but in the back of my head they feel like bolt on trash. Same feeling I get from fake fender vents just much less intense on the canards, but the feeling is there.
