    yeah I agree, tail-lights come with the car....just haven't got around to tinting them slightly or getting the yashiro led tail-lights or reverse altezza with black instead of chrome.

    Its a good start mate, these things are an amazing platform to build from with a shape you will never get bored of and a driving experience that will bring a smile to your face.

    Just by all the bits and pieces you can tell it was owned by an asian before you.


    Honestly though I think it has been modified on the cheap, which is never the way forward. As everyone has said the tail lights are a bit meh. I wouldn't go so far as to say ugly but you can do better. I have the black ones on my S15 and I think they offer a great contrast against the grey. But others might disagree.

    The wheels - even though they are Rays and GT-Cs to boot (same as mine tongue.gif ) 17" IMO is too small and the width and offset is fail. The hole point of GTCs is dish, you can't go too mega dish on S15 legally but you can go A LOT wider with a much better offset than that.

    But hey by the sounds of it you bought it like this and these are minor gripes so easy fix if you share the same view. Good luck with it, enjoy it and look after it.


    *Edit* just noticed you have vertex side skits and rear bar. I thought this thing must have been in a prang as the last photos the paint is defferent on each pannel. Obviously the guy opted for a cheap OEM bar when it was being repaired. Not too much of a big deal so long as it was done right. But get your hands on a vertex or M-Sports front bar asap to finish that kit off.

    Yeah defiantly agree and one of my mates pointed out the exact same thing, however we could find little evidence of it being a "bad" repair job, but were wondering perhaps if it had been sun damage/scratches and minor dints and instead of painting the car just replaced panels on the cheap?. I dislike the kit that is on the car and would love to put an aero kit on it.

    Example


    Wheels should def be bigger....would like to go the koya CR-Tek or RG-Tek in 18x9+22 all round depending the results against my coil-overs/guards etc (they have been rolled).

    Little box with draw in the photo between a/c controls and headunit mamoru.gif

    Oh and I love this wing! especially with the aero kit (as in the example photo above)...surely one of the better "stockish" wings to be placed onto a Nissan happy.gif
