definitely go with either the canards or nothing the vents would be a bit much. I would also say no to the vinyl wrapped tail lights and yes to the tow hook. just my .02 either way car is coming along nicely can't wait to see how this turns out.

I have all ready vinyl wrapped the tails.... I had to do it, because something got on the tail lights when I was modding them and kinda hazed out the lenses... This helps cover up how bad they kinda look haha...

Since u have the TS-1, what's the deal with the tow hook when I go to that bumper from stock? Will the stock one be exposed? Get a new one? One of the few things I'm uneducated about

why no kurookie or chargespeed front? CS front would look nasty with the look youre goin for

Yes I use to have a chargespeed front... It kinda got beat to crap... They quoted me 400 for just the fiberglass work.... I swapped to the chargespeed because I had it.... I may swap over to the Strafespeed one... I like that look... BUT It will be hard to fine...

As far as the front tow hook, I will go with nothing... That is a rear tow hook... I most likely wont get it. I was going to style, but cops FLAG those tow hooks for racers...

Update on the car.... The shop it is at showed me some failing points that I need to keep an eye on... One is I didn't realize my clutch line though metal is on the exhaust and well... It will eventually break if left there... So I will need to fix that eventually. I probably have months though... I have a boost leak on the inlet pipe to the turbo... It's cracked so that needs fixing... And the idler pulley is barely rubbing on a oil pipe... O and one of the fittings that goes to the oil pan is just a weird one haha... Also my ac line is super super tight... So those 4 things need watching closely... But they won't be able to hard wire my gauge clusters in... So I will go to psi and hopefully they can finish it up...

Dont want to make a whole new thread for this... BUT what do you guys think on this???

https://www.facebook.com/groups/vq35...1932297580923/

I have a Custom built motor with a turbo... I have been fixing up the engine and will be taking it in to get tuned in a few months... I am just wondering if this is a good idea or not... Is it worth it?

Got some photos while at the shop today... The Flares are not 100% mounted, and the front is a little funny... So they will look a little different. Hood latches came out perfect... Seat is FINALLY MOUNTED HAHAHA...
