You're the best thing since baby jesus.



This was bothering me too but I hadn't tried looking for a setting.

^ditto.
& now I'm not a n00000b!!

<back on topic/kinda/random questions>

the KuRookie is only available in fiberglass, right? I think as low as I want to roll I'd better stick with poly. Any options in poly other than the Ionic oem rep or HikkataDori?

The m45 shift **** a direct/easy mod??

Was there ever a "kit" of parts for the interior/console led swap made? I don't mind doing the work swapping everything but don't have the time to tear apart everything and do all the r&d (so I'm willing to pay for it)? My wife even hates the old looking amber interior lights

Sh*t.. all these questions without searching for the answers... i AM still a noob.

& damnit if everytime I look at your car I don't buy something else for mine

Correct, KuRookie is only available in FG. How low are you, I roll with my KuRookie less than 2" off the ground, mine has held up very well.

The M45 shift **** is not a direct swap, needs to be modified to fit.

There isn't a "kit" to swap your interior leds. If you have an 05-06 Sedan then ledmod.com can do it for you, pretty quick turn around.

Haha, thanks man!

24" to fenders & I frequent a few places with stupid messed up entrances where I scrape the sh*t out of my stock front (and everything else under the car) & there is one nasty bridge junction on my daily route (I call it the devil). If I get a KuRookie, which is my favorite option, I'm not worried about scraping the bottom of it as much as I am getting it caught on asphalt and tearing it in pieces Looks like it sits quite a bit lower than the stock front, which looks wicked

If your fender to ground height is 24" your KuRookie will be a tad under 2" off the ground. If you are already scraping your OEM bumper than you will surely scrape the heck out of a KuRookie. I haven't been over a speedbump in more than 2 years at least and park on the street versus entering steep driveways. Here is a height comparison of an OEM Nismo and the KuRookie to give you an idea of how it would sit. The IP Sedan is a 1/4" higher than I am in these pics IIRC. In this pic my car was at about 24 1/8" up front.

Forget to mention, the corners of the kurookie are the lowest points in the whole bumper too. When I scrape, I always scrap only the corners...especially when I'm entering a sharp corner on the highway or something, all you hear is chalk on chalkboard sound lol.

Cali roads suck too, trust me. There are some places that I dare not even attempt to take my car.
