Photoshop rendering of my soon to be car:





(my apologies to Tinman for stealing the frontside pic)

Parts:
Nismo Front Bumper
Kenstyle Side Skirts
Impul Rear Bumper
RH PRO J8's wrapped in Toyo T1S

I already have the wheels, tires, and the nismo front. Working on the rest. I plan to add Brembo Slotted rotors later on this year. Let me know what you think, if you have alternatives for the rear and sides, since those have been a major PITA to get a hold of.

 

Nice Afro....i like the setup very much! Although in your list i didn't see FI, but theres a FMIC on that G! (just kidding) Let us all know how they look, hopefully you wont get a ticket for your rims being too big
(saw ur post on FA)

 

Puff....very sweet set up you chose.....
I also like the (I think Greddy) side skirts with the air duct towards the rear.....DoingOk has the ones I'm talking about.

Either way, your car will stand out from us run of the mill G's

 

no problem Puff.good job on the photoshop.and very nice combination you got there

 

How much was the rear bumper?

 

beautiful i think your color combo shows good taste :-P

 

how about the grill?

 

That's gonna be nice!

 

No G is ever run of the mill.

All thanks to you man! I was uncertain of the bumper combo, but once I saw it on your car... I knew that it was a perfect elegant mix..

Sorry about that, what I meant to say was that I don't have the kenstyle sides or the impul rear yet because they are so difficult to get a hold of. The places that have the Impul rear in stock want over $1200 for it. Direct import from japan is 105000yen = $1024 without shipping. The places that might offer a decent price on it are having trouble getting a hold of Impul for a quote. Let me know if you have better luck than me.

I actually like the stock grill. I could do without the bumps, but I have yet to see a grill that would make me want to switch based on the look I'm after. Didn't want anything overtly aggressive. Kind of an oxymoron based on the wheels I chose, but they just looked too damn good with CB.

 

it will look absolutely gorgeous.

 

is the bumper carbon fiber or is it plastic?

 

Excellent job puf....
It's gona loook great.

Just a ? on the Toyos, did you buy them new, 'cause the T1-Rs are comming out.

 

Which bumper? The front bumper is a fiberglass composite. Still relatively flexable and it weighs maybe 15 lbs. The rear bumper is urethane.

Yeah, I bought them brand new. Are the t1-r's a brand new product line? I probably wouldn't have been able to wait for them. I'm looking to have the car finished by the time spring rolls around.

 

afro that photoshop is ill. Lets see you make it a reality like the lambo yellow g. If you can make the pic a reality, nuff props to you.

Afro, could you post some pics of the Nismo bumper. Did you get the replica or authentic? I wanted to see what it looks like stock and what I would have to do to get it to look flush (ie fill in the tow hook with fiberglass). Also, does it come with steel mesh for the lower air slots?
