the attention to detail is amazing on this thing.

i didnt notice the rear diffuser until after 10 hours of staring at the car.
there is just so much going on with the car and it looks so clean.
ALEX, you did a wonderful job.. i cant wait until you get a nice big intercooler for that space in the bumper

Nice! That profile is exactly what I was looking for Diesel!! Looks f-ing b!tchen!!!!! I really like the side skirts - how difficult was it to mold in? Would it work on a non-couped 04 sedan?...

Forgive me, but I can't remember the member's name who makes the polyurethane nismo bumpers...

I wonder if a front cap conversion 'kit' could be made out of all polyurethane... The mounting points could be taken from the sedan substructure, and the outer panel/shape could be taken from the coupe... the hood might have to be a direct coupe-swap, and the headlights could remain sedan...

hmm... now i've got my brain churning...

Been looking at this car many, many times today. I still get the "Holy F*ck that's hot" reaction.
