Taj, the car looks so much better with the final version. Definitely had to get rid of the gold.

But license plate frame really has to go. It looks like it belongs on a Ford F-150 with a gun rack.

Taj, did you paint that kit yourself? It looks awful and if you had a shop do it for you they need a talking to. I'm not refering to the parts that you've been messing with, but mainly your entire front end.

^^^ looks like spray paint marks.....or no clear coat....

Im sorry bud, I like the kit, but not the wheels.....maybe if you used some carbon on those parts you painted black it might flow better if you got a CF hood, but otherwise +1 for being orginal.

its the sun reflection on the paint man, the shop did a really good job at making it match the stock paint, I wish I can say the same about the parts I messed with

and ike! you actually posted a nice comment to me! holy **** I must print this out and hang it on my wall!

I liv at an apartment, so that expedition (whatever the hell it is, I'm guessing the SUV) isn't mine, the parkway is SE3P's house, not mine either, my parents are not in the USA anymore, they abandoned me 1 month after I bought the 8 because I love my car more than I love them, The license frame gets me away from the cops, so thats +1000000000 points over any shittyness that it may have, better than a ticket

and all props goes to SE3P, he's really good at this ****, I was surprised he even was able to fix all the shitty job I did XD

now that is entertainment!!!!!!! hows that post count going?

but really taja...

some advice, and for real.

you have been a great sport. you win for that.

now, skip any carbon fiber stuff.. dont worry about matching it down the road...

stop tire kicking in the fs section... you have not got two sets of wheels for very very cheap..

wafers or the enkei rpm2 would be hot.. and they both are steals...

hey, but what do i know...

beers

Are you serious? Your tires are practically almost new.... $500 with tires... that's a steal. How about we swap tires before you sell them? That way the new owner gets used T1Rs

Wow. I laughed at a kid I know today for painting his 240sx pink, but this definitely tops it.

Other than my agreement that your rims need to go and that the final product looks better than where you started, I have a few thoughts.

1. The calipers are gold, and there's no gold anywhere else on the car. WTF.

2. You do not need some park bench spoiler to ruin the car any more.

3. The rear bumper is pretty ricey.

If I were you, I'd fill that nitrous bottle and be happy that you actually made it to 200whp in your AT (assuming a 75 shot).
