Any of them but the black look good, my fav is the brighter gold or silver.


Window motor is only $130 thru autozone with a lifetime warranty. Simple to change.

So if I go to auto zone do I just ask for a new window motor? or a specific type?

I think I like the silver and textured black. but Mike from VMR just posted the sunken treasure and those look sick ! Ill try to go edit a picture with those ones on!

Just ordered the driver side motor; $196 with 10% off online code, down to $173, and if I bring in the original motor to the store I get $40.00 back. So it will end up being about $133 total. Now I just need to find a thread on here on how to install a new motor

But ALSO, I looked at that stillen lip you all were talking about and I don't know if I like it more than the Nismo style. Do any of you guys know of a "good" ebay nismo style lip? One that will actually mount well etc...

yes I know its from ebay, but I figure, its a front lip that will get damaged and eventually need replacing so I don't want to fork out $200 - $1000 when that money can be saved for the VMR rims! anyways take a look at this one and let me know what you think
It doesn't come boxed up all like junk and bent at least! lol

I think the design and color of the Enkei wheel you posted would look good. Another good choice would be the Enkei RPF-1 in SBC finish. They have good widths and offsets available in 18" and 19" diameters. Cost effective, good quality, looks great. I may pick up a set myself someday.

meh. Very snow plow-esque. Dimensionally a very aggressive lip.

Ah sorry I thought I saw someone post a link to an Enkei wheel that was similar to the VMR's you posted. Specifically thinking of the Enkei Raijin.

The VMR's looked OK. Didn't like the look of the flat black TE37-style wheels. I would go bright silver before gold or bronze. However I think a bright coating like the Enkei SBC finish would look best against that chameleon paint.

^ Yep, in either 18" or 19" size with the +15 offset would be ideal. (May need to roll rear fenders depending on rear camber and tire size).

I'm not a big "chrome" style kind of guy. Thats why I liked either the silver, bronze, or maybe a gunmetal grey or black?

Pretty stupid of you to paint the whole car such a wild color then want to slap a body kit on it. That's backwards.

Kit then paint. As for wheels get gold.

The only thing I would want is maybe a N2 body kit, and the guy I bought the car from gave me a SMALL can of the paint used to paint the car, which would be enough for a front bumper and the skirts. Which is all I would want.

I honestly think Sunken Treasure would suit your paint pretty well.

I was hoping he would catch onto that. Flo. I'm pretty sure that paint requires a black base coat then the effect.

It's mainly the technique needed to apply that paint.

IIRC it's a silver base.. a lot like a candy finish.
