Default First Pictures of my car on the forum :)

Hey everyone, just got my side skirts finished yesterday and figured i'd throw up some pics for the first time. I did everything myself so far, so yeah, the paint job on the sides isnt great, but that'll come when I get some more cash. Anyways, here goes!

The side skirts are JDM Nismo replica's that I bought off of Buffmanjeff, by the way. Seems like a good fit to me.

*edit* forgot to add that I did the rims, too. I got the idea off of someone else on this forum, look up the "OEM rim modification" thread! Also, the couple discolored/scraped areas on my front bumper were holes/scratches that I got puttied up, going to fix and paint when I have the time sometime this week.











Tell me what you think! Criticism welcomed. I personally am dying to get a dark tint job to make the two tone thing look even better.

I'd paint the wheels completely black and remove the nismo sticker from the door.

The sideskirts look ok from a distance.

Paint the skirts silver, and get the clear corners, and your set. Looks good.

different, i guess...there's just kind of too much going IMO with all the colors(black, red, silver) mixing around.



if you had red brake calipers i think your car might be a danger to people with epilepsy.

Thanks for the reply's, guys!

Yeah, the whole color scheme is a little crazy right now. I hope once I get it tinted, and get the front/rear bumpers and spoiler it'll even things out a little more and look solid.

I guess thats what happens when you can't make up your mind about what color you want your car to be...

****EDIT****

I got the idea for the rims from this post. The guy who did his first got them powder coated. I would have loved to do that myself, but painted them only cost me about 25 bucks Credit to BRAIN Z33.

Welcome, car looks great. Although I agree about removing the nismo sticker on the door though; everything else looks fabulous.

i dont think the stickers flow well with the car, and the sides could be better off painted half and half where the cut off is. I like how you did the mudguard.

Two tone them with the Nismo V1 or V2 as well. Looks good, but does need color.

Not a fan of the wheels either. Keep'em one color.

No offense, but I don't like anything about the car. Graphics, wheels, color scheme.
