Great set of wheels!!!

 

As are yours!! I couldn't believe we got the same wheels. Great minds think alike.

 

So my car was backed into a few months ago. I didn't bother fixing it until now.

Bumper had previous damage (lip) from original owner hitting a cone at auto-x. Truck that backed into me had a trailer hitch which pierced a hole in my bumper.




Insurance paid for a new bumper. Here is a pic fresh out of the booth. Still needs to be wet-sanded as you can see from the pic.


Decided to get the old bumper repaired and have the reflectors and emblem hole molded and I am going to be adding canards (not MCR because i'm not that rich) actually the V2 canards fit. Similar to this (not my car). I know its not going to be everyone's cup of tea but that's why its my car. And I will have the brand new bumper to put back on if I decide to sell it.



Next on the agenda is head lights. Decided to:
Black out the housings
Ironman mod
STi-R lens
Gunmetal shroud (paint to match lip)
Painted red cutoff. Here is a sample only shows when lights are off.

 

Figured since my new wheels are going to be heavier I might as well counter-balance the loss of performance with much better tires (made sense in my mind). So I got 255/35 285/35 RE11's (can also see my brand new bumper in the background).

Nice looking tires...

 

mounted yet?

 

Not yet. Too cold and we just got 2' of snow. Not till probably march.

 

nice choice, congrats, can't wait to see on

been tugging at my dads pant legs all year trying to get him to buy new wheels. ima use you as my bait at zdayz to sway him.

 

I loved the stock Nismo wheels so much...... Until I put new wheels on it. Now I hate putting the stock wheels even if its only to drive it to put it away for winter. You going to have any new crazy interior stuff for Zdayz?

 

unfortunately no, kinda lacking this year, spent too much time messing with the datsuns. got something up my sleeve tho.

 

Ah, can't wait to see this thing put together!

 

Iron Man mod testing.

So many mods so little time before Zdayz!!

 

Get it done!

Loving the headlight moods

 

Thank you, was actually way easier then I thought.

 

Did some sampling with my ironman mod because I didn't feel as though the ccfl ring was bright enough. I added some LED's. I am happy with the results.



Like I don't have enough going on with my own car decided to buy another project.

1993 300ZX 5spd non-turbo mainly for my girlfriend.

 

Wow that is some creative stuff right there. Excited to see the final product!

Thanks Frank.

Actually painted one cutoff tonight. I think it looks awesome.

Left is stock obviously

 

Nice nice nice

 

nice! is the 380 pedal worth it? Are your lenses back-lit red or did you paint the housing?

 

The pedal for $30 or whatever it is... yea why not imo.

The inside cutoff is painted. The stock one is just gray metal. I painted it red. Will not affect the light in any way. Might have a very slight bit of glare from the glossiness of the paint but nothing anyone would ever notice unless your parked up against a building.

I added these leds in natural white and they are almost identical to the ccfl halo. Once I figure out how to mount them good I will post up pics.
