Default Just a little body work

My car has a few minor flaws that bothered me, so i decided to get some work done. I decided to shave the emblems, wiper blade, spoiler and mold a nismo lip to the front bumper. I had a aerosync but everyone and there brother and sister have one so i decided to do things different. I also had some fender work done also and doing a bumper tuck, but actually cutting instead of tucking it. Also gonna do a shinier black and maybe add some flake. The car isnt done yet, but i will post pictures of it when it is.

PROPS..

for fawking doing things the harder, not cheaper and CORRECT way.

ALWAYS.. ALWAYS looks better in the end.

Classic set up on color and wheels too, cant hate.

and now my 2 cents..

06 headlights, painted semi gloss black, repaint the projector itself to match wheel lip and face, and match the door handles to the body paint. black em out.

SICK.

good job on the current work tho fer sure.

Good stuff! can't wait for the final result!...I'm doing the body work on my g35 sedan as well... I'm not too sure if I want to use the stock color code or not... I want a really DEEP black, but I'm stuck as to which color code to go with... What brand paint are you gonna spray? I'm thinking of using PPG shopline plus... What color code are you gonna use?

The door handles are going black for sure! Im gonna do the headlight mod later on. Might tint the taillights. not to sure yet tho. For color, we are thinking a black with gold flake but nothing to major. I dont want a bass boat. On the brand, i will have to get with my guy doing the work on it. I assure its nothing cheap! everything is well done! There will not be much camber ran either.. -3 all around. I dont JUST park the car, i autocross, drag, drift and show it.

Great choices on dropping that overly used front. Great work

Very nice. Can't wait to see completed pics.

Also the reason most people do the Aerosync bumper is because it is polyurethane and is very forgiving against being very low. Instead of most carbon fiber or fiberglass lips. But if your ok with just the molded Nismo lip, more power to you!

Oh i completely understand why people do. I mean i was one of them. They weigh a ton tho and EVERYONE has one. Not hating at all, I dont hate on any car. I just wanted to do things a little different.

I totally understand I sold my Aerosync for a Mine's lip to go with my stock bumper this past year.

Looks like your on the right track, best of luck.
