Hey Guys here are some pics of my car let me know what you think. Should be heading into the shop this week. Getting grille,mirror bases, door handles colormatched, fenders rolled or flared not sure and obviously the kit painted. For the future a akebono kit and custom projectors.

A special thanks to Blain(4DGS) for helping me complete the rims.

Sweet, looking forward to pics.

What are you doing for the rear, painting the lower part?

You'll be good with a flat roll with those wheels.

congrats - I look forward to the painted pics (might want to think over the color-match grille though, I saw a coupe this weekend color matched and it really doesnt work imo).

+ 1 with Marcus, fender roll is probably a better choice for now (if you flare, your gonna have to have the fenders and quarter-panels painted/blended - the whole thing is kinda expensive... dont have them "pull" the fenders though, that never looks right.

Just my .02 (since you asked for what people think )

*Edit - it looks like you are OB, not TB (initially I thought it was TB, I'm on a small netbook right now)... OB color match would look good for a black out theme...

For the rear im planning to do a nismo, but i have no idea when they plan on making a replica version of it. So for now i guess it's just to paint it.

Im still up in the air about the window trim. If my car was any other color I would deffinately black it out. I dont want to murder it out but we'll see what happens. Might be getting a full paint job, might as well do a different color while im at it...we'll see though.

Thanks. No it's OB..it just extremely dirty lol. Havent had a car wash in like 2 months now, no point with all this pollen. Yea I was thinking flare for later down the road, i plan to do an aggressive set-up. Agreed on the pull, doesn't look right to me either.

looks good. I'm assuming you're going to paint the headlight housings black in the process of doing the projector retrofit?
