The question is the offset on the wheels. They are custom Volk GTC 20" with a -7 offset. I had to have custom hub centric spacers made for the car. They are 1" in the front and 1.5" in the rear to push the wheels even with the kit. The question I get all the time, do the wheels rub. The answer, no. The stock rear quarters are cut up very high so the rear wheels can go up into the wheel wells. Since the front are replacement fenders, the wheels can go up inside as well. I have Tenabe springs and adjustable gas shocks on the car. Still rides nice. No vibrations even at 80 mph.

Well, I guess clean doesn't get it done at HIN. Politics as usual. Not sponsored and no shop affiliation = 3rd overall in 2dr mild.

I thought I would take Hottest Mild Nissan category, but I guess not.

First show, I am very happy with the results.

I guess I need to add a few stickers and get a more rice type look.

Any suggestions?

Heeeey Bull!

Congrats on the results at HIN and I think it's better to have a clean car than get a trophy because your car looks like rice

Can't wait to see the car in person one of these days!

I saw the car at HIN night shift and it looked friggin sweet, even though the lighting sucked cause I got there so late. Therefore, no pics.

I'm actually surprised you didn't win the nissan category, but like you said it's the first show the car's been to so you did very respectable for the first showing. Congrats on the trophy!


I think your car would totally own these shows with a few finishing touches, here are some that I would personally look at if it were my car. I think all of these would finish off the whole package well while keeping the car extra clean.

- 2006 headlights painted to match charcoal top
- Endless BBK, gold or blue calipers.
- Black Racing Seats (Bride Gias, Sparco Milano, etc)
- Takata, Shroth, or Sparco racing harnesses
- Harness bar or Roll Cage
- In-dash dvd screen, custom fiberglass sub enclosure in the back.
- Paint matched center console or CF interior
- Engine bay accents (maybe even some tasteful LED lighting for these HIN-type shows)

Thanks for the advice Craig. I will be searching for some sponsors to help with the above items.

Cole:

Nice to see you here. Thanks for the post. I saw your car and gave your brother in law a hard time. I was sorry to hear that you didn't take anything. Politics, aren't they great!

Love the body kit. Looks like the body shop did a good job. I would have chose a brighter color. LOL Good Job.

damn... i would go with different wheels to rid of the spacers and get a lower offset. I have a 18x10.5 -26 on my 240, your TS widebody could probably do the same. Your car is seriously hot, really diggin the color scheme.
