Soooo, gonna go get my eyelids installed on saturday, remove my nismo graphics and buff any inconsistent spots from the graphics and prep to install my new graphics, fix my demon eyes (hook up connectors), drop the rear 1/4 of an inch, install my brighter LED reverse lights, and do a detail. Big plans i guess............oh, and here's a REALLY lazy test fit of the eyelids!

So what are you going to replace the graphics with? Just the same ones but new and not sun faded or something?

I'm not a huge fan of the wheels, but it could just be the pictures you took. lol.

Does the car feel a lot diffferent to drive since you gained a hefty amount of weight on each corner?

Weight stayed the same in the rear, front is only heavier by 3 lbs, i do slightly notice it but its been 3 months since i drove it so i'll tell ya later. The graphics i have were custom designed by Instyle Graphics, they made the graphics on the red 370z and i hired their services to do the same to mine. Still trying to come up with a design for the hood which i'll prolly work on this weekend. But no, no more nismo graphics for me. It was great while it lasted but i kinda want to enter the new year with something slightly fresh, especially since i want to recover from winter's disaster this year (sry guys, our winter is really just slightly cool, no humidity, sunny weather with rain every other week)

Well I didn't think they'd be as heavy as the deep dish 19's with all that flash, but you never know. How much do ours weigh anyways? I thought they'd be light considering they're forged and all

OP- looking forward to checking out the new graphics and even more so for seeing the canards on that beast!

Nice touch with the eyelids. Where did you pick them up from? Pre-painted? In for more pictures once installed!

thanks guys!

Just a quick note, these are the evo-r mad eyelids and if ur gonna do it urself, the eyelids are thick themselves so i messed up on the passenger side and ended up having to pry it up and reposition it. All in all, its a good thick eyelid and the paint is very nice. Its not PERFECT fitment as its a bit tight on the passenger side which may be the result of something else which i haven't figured out. but yea, so far so good, now time for graphics on monday....

nice!

you need to get rid of the front plate or get the 'show and go' one cause it's killing the front...
