Yep, I agree they look like vomit - dont know how in the world they ever made production of such garbage!

 

I'd look in the marketplace for some outright. Could be $200-350 depending on condition for 06+ tails. If I was you, I would get some 03-05s for as cheap as possible (less than $100 for sure) and wait for someone returning to stock. A lot of people will part the tails and want 03-05s to swap in. I didn't blow up the picture when I first checked the post, but it looked like you have brembos! Lucky!!!

Any other plans for it? (besides a shorty antenna)?

 

Thanks for the advise, ill be checking the marketplace throughout the year. Im not planning on buying too much during the year because the cars in storage and i wont have the chance to install much to check if the product is defective or not. I do have LOTS planned for the car though (in addition to stubby antenna). I have made quite the list of ideas for upgrades throughout the past 3 years (as you can well imagine) and so ill be using the resources in this forum to form a decision of what brand to buy for each upgrade. For that list, i can post some of the ideas if your interested and maybe some advise on some of the thoughts? let me know if youve got the time for it lol. Oh and yeah shes got brembos, BOSE and leather seats... made sure to spend my money right!

 

The best choice in tailights would be the 06-08 because they are led. The 03-05 tails would still be an upgrade over the aftermarket ones, but i would just save up a little more for the 06-08s. I believe the 06-08 lights are about $300, give or take, on the marketplace. Just watch the classifieds on the site and wait until a pair pops up for sale.

 

as it sits ive dropped it on Tein S-tech springs, and added some different wheels. wider tires will go on when i wear the ones i have out. Nismo S-Tune exhaust and spoiler were already on the car, added test pipes which really uncorked the exhaust.

shocks probably early next year (75k miles, theyre a little floaty on the highway), bushings as needed (especially compression rod), LSD (quaife possibly). little things until one day i can throw on a turbo or supercharger and better brakes (which i may do long before that anyway!) i dont plan on ever letting the car go, so if i get another car later on it will be my project so rebuilding the engine or upgrading chassis parts will be no big deal.

right now i just enjoy driving it, and when im not driving it i want to be driving it. its just that much fun, even without an LSD!
