I never even knew I had one. I don't know if I'm gonna keep it like that though. I'm dropping it off tomorrow morning at Collision depot and he's gonna get the sides fixed up. I got it all on right now, i just don't have reflectors in the front. I need some OEM 03-05 ones.

My car is dropped pretty far already. I get a lot of PM's from people asking what coilovers i'm using. I'm going to keep the springs!

Wheels - I don't know why & i can't explain it, but i've fallen in love with the stock 06 wheels. I picked up a set and painting them black. If i don't like them i'll go with something else. I'll probably rock them for a while though.

Body kit - Amuse front w/ carbon fiber diffuser, Amuse sides, and i still can't decide on what back piece to go with.

Hood - Siebon GT carbon fiber hood

Mirrors - Craftsquare carbon fiber mirrors

Extra paint - i'm painting my door handles & all Z emblems black. I don't want any silver on the car.

The mod bug has kinda hit me pretty hard. i'm looking at carbon fiber interior and some I.C.E. I'm just not sure if i want to drop that much cash on the car all at once.

for an aggressive look, the wheels are gonna be a bit of a weak offset and size huh? are you going to run any wheel spacers with them?

Yeah, i'm thinking 20mm / 25mm. Like i said, if i don't like the look i can just get a different set but right now i'd like to see how they turn out on the car.

I'm so irritated with these sides right now. The guy at the body shop said he didn't want to do them, because he didn't want to drill into the side of my frame. I'm not really nuts about them either so I'm gonna try to send them back to Swifty and just eat the shipping. Hopefully he will let me give them back.

Hey Ryan, it's probably an easy install, but did replacing your shift **** give you any difficulty?

Is it really that bad drilling into your frame? lol I remember when I had my honda, the sides were drilled into the frame and that was the only possible way to put them on. What about you Jamie, how'd the shop put your sides on?

Um I really don't even know, I think they said they used some clips from another Nissan car. Ryan did you go to collision depot? Didn't they put on Jp's nismo side? I had a shop in d'iberville put my stuff on.

Jamie the problem is where they mount under the door. Can you see screws when you open the door. If so the people who put yours on probably just screwed it to the frame.

so the reason you don't want these sides is because they have no choice but to screw into the frame. it sounds like thats how these sides need to be mounted. I'm going to post something in the exterior sectiont o see what people say.
