ok.. i think i'm going to leave the performance mods alone for now...

I think with that money i could do the following..

1) get a front nismo lip
2)get the clear reflectors since i have a white car.. think it would look good
3)get the VIS wing's side skirts
4)INGS rear bumper
5)gotta have that nismo wing.. why i love it, I have no clue but i gotta have it lol
6)oh.. i love the billet grill... interfooler hahahaha...
This is ofcourse after the rims come in and i'm lowered an inch...and since this saturday i'm getting the windows tinted... that should be a nice touch..

In our cars, all you gotta do is unbolt from the strut tower, and unbolt from the bottom, and the strut comes right out. Its cake compared to some cars.
wow that DOES sound easy..

what about the rear?

There's a spring bucket that sits seperate from the shock.

weakkkk, well those reflectors are less expensive than 06+ anyways I think. Good choice on the clear though. Try evasivemotorsports.com for them, thats where I ended up getting mine.

OK.. just did research on the springs..

So essentially.. i'm taking off the rim/tire..

placing a jack under the spring

loosen and remove the bolt that's closes to the rotor

lower the jack some to relieve tension

loosen the upper bolt NOT on the shock

and then lower the jack all the way, replace spring and go in reverse order?!
