Fastback Blake's 03 Sedan so far
 

I'll start off by saying that I'm no kind of photographer, so fair warning... bad phone pics inside.

I started off with a bone stock sedan sport 3 years ago. (pic taken by dealer)

The first mod I did was to add cross-drilled rotors from R1 Concepts. Very happy with these brakes. This was followed by my Bose head unit frying and being replaced by an aftermarket double din unit. (thanks Wrathernaut)

About a year ago I had an unfortunate meeting with the back of an F150.

Which landed me with new blacked-out headlights with projectors retrofit and a polyurethane Hikkatadori front bumper (Thanks to Stephen at R1 Autoworks). Pictured here with one stock headlight and one new.

And here we are as it sits today with Coupe 18's that I painted bronze on 350Z unrevised springs, KYB shocks/struts and some new polyurethane bushings for the compression rods and lower control arm. I can't believe how crisp this car handles now. The ride is not harsh at all, just stiff in a sporty, but not punishing, way. Had I known how jacked my old suspension was and what an amazing difference these new parts would make, I would have done this sooner and I highly recommend these mods to anyone that wants to add some fun to their sedan on a budget.

Next mods will be cosmetic. I've got a couple dings and the clear coat is crapping out in some spots (which is why only the passenger side is shown here). I just have to decide if I'm repainting it or going with a vinyl wrap. Plus, I've got to do something about those ugly grey rockers/back bumper trim at the bottom.

It's not hellaflush, turbocharged or LS1 swapped, but this by far my favorite daily driver that I've ever had.

Just for good measure, here's a quick shot of the toy car. :)

Car has potential...
Lose the wheels.

Cal looks good man! :D

Get yourself a coupe mid-pipe if you haven't already

Thanks, I think so too.

No. :)

That's definitely on the short list of next mods. Thanks!

great progress so far..good luck with the build

wheels are fine lose the mustang :OHBOY:

LMAO, ok.

Looking good :D Love the projector retros on our cars, really "refreshes" the look IMO.

Good on ya for thinking about those rockers, just another "quick mod" that has a striking visual upgrade on the 03-04's :biggthumpup:

Hi Blake! I stumbled onto this post while searching for sedan bumpers. Your car needs some top tips.

1. You NEED to order this from amazon:
dont apply it on your driveway. do it on the street. stuff will stain your driveway.


2. Take those gold wheels off, and have a painter refinish them in brilliant silver.

3. Consider swapping the rear springs for g-coupe.

das it mane. then you can ride super clean.
