Default #1320 Checking in!

Recently bought my 2008 Nismo #1320.
Little about me: I am currently enlisted in the USAF. I am living out in Colorado Springs, CO. 22 years old, and I love life!

Little about the car: Front end needs either a repaint or a lot of touch up, many many rock chips. Very small dent in the hatch, top corner left side with a paint bubble. Just hit 23k today ><. Runs phenomenal!
Thinking about buying some touch up, and taking her to a detailer I know, and asking him if he will detail/touch up for me. I don't trust myself with a buffer on this car.

Anyways, photo time!
Took her out for a drive in the mountains.


Washed the day before the trip, but now she's all dirty again














My phone doesn't take the best pictures sadly.

A few more photos of the car and scenery here

Yeah me either.
I wish I had the stock nismo rims.
I think wheels/tires are going to be my mod that I make.
Any suggestion on aftermarket wheels that look good on the nismo?
I'd gladly buy OEM nismo wheels. I just think the dealer would overcharge ridiculously for them.

Congrats on the car. Good luck with her. Do you know the make of the wheels?

even if the dealer is selling, you'll be paying a ridiculous price. could get new volks for less. there's a guy selling locally here in Toronto: http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ409225121 could inquire on shipping with him otherwise happy hunting!

The wheels on the car look like Rota GT-Rs.

For the price, you are better off going aftermarket. Take a look at the Nismo wheel thread:

You can pick up OEM NISMO wheels in the marketplace here from time to time at a good price.

Welcome!

What's up with the influx of MB NISMOs lately?
