^ I took it through one of those drive through oil changes. They gave me a lil discount for the damages. I was mad at first but its all good now. I removed the splash guard for more clearance which is ok cause nismo sides are going on in the near future.

Here is how it sits now.

 

looks good! get a tad lower and it will be money in teh bank!
any pics from far away?

 

money in the bank!!!

 

^ Thxs.

Thxs, Like to go lower but it will rub when i have ppl sit back there. Here is lil further shot and a rolling shot along with a close up pic.

 

Never take the G to a drive through oil place. It takes at least 30 mins for the oil to drain out after the engine has been running for a while.

 

A tad lower and it will be money for sure. What are you wheel/tire specs? You could always add camber so you don't rub (assuming you have a rear camber kit) in the rear with people in the car.

 

^ I'm running 19x9 +9 on a 225 35 t1r's and 19x10 +20 245 35 t1r's.

Yea I have spc arms. Camber is -2.5. I got it aligned yesterday and almost went to -3 but I thought it would b too much. I do lots of driving and I know toe being off is supposed to be what eats up ur tire I just couldn't see going -3 yet. But we shall see...

I still have a fg nismo front that needs to go so I gotta make sure I have enough clearance for it. I know ur kurookie is low to I just make holds up like yours.

 

yea i remember with the sf winnings i was at -3.4 with a 10.5 +19 with fenders all the way flat

 

12:00 pm Body guy called me and said initial test fit isnt going to well. Communicated that there were huge gaps and that the grille wasn't lining up correctly. I asked him to send me pics and this is what i got.






2:00 I leave work early to assess the issue and found out that the aluminum tab on the left is the issue.



So we drilled out the rivets and bumper fits alot better now.

Still small gaps in certain area but think it can be fixed as the body man makes adjustments to the mounting point.

 

^Are you sure that's for the right year? Did you tell Kris you had an 05, because the 03 headlights and grill are shaped differently.

 

Pretty sure its the right year, I did tell Veronica that i had an 05. I initially thought that was the issue and was stressed that i had to ship it back. But after we drilled out the aluminum tabs and held the bumper close to the mounting points it fit a lot better. I think if i got an 03-04 bumper it would be way off.

 

yeah, that bumper really looked like its shaped for the 03-04 headlights. the 03-04 headlights has a more mild and consistent curve at the bottom compared to a kinda noticable bend on the 05-06

 

^That's what I was looking at as well.

 

Nismo front and OEM nismo sides on a painted.

 

Man that looks AWESOME! I love the way the matte black grill and ducts contrast the gloss black.

I would recommend smoking the blinkers, at least a little to cut down on that screaming orange.
Matte black headlight housings would be sick as well.

Normally, I would say black the window trim, but I actually really like the way it accents the chrome lip on the wheels. But it wouldn't hurt to do the door handles.

Ride is looking really good, can't wait to see what you do next
