Just like the title states, a few quick ones of my AC and progress so far. Ive banged out all of these mods in about a month's time, let me know what you all think. And thank you to everyone in the forum that helped me with advice or know how.

After taking these pics and looking though them, decided that my next mod has got to be an aftermarket grill...

Dmn bro, looking good! Makin me jelous. You joined about the same I did and I havent been able to do a thing but watch everyone else moddin out. Oh well, it's giving me a lot of ideas, so once the economy picks up and I get regular work I will have a good idea of what i want to do.

Anyway, looking really good. Im not a big fan of those flip out screens, the 2din ones look better imo, but thats just me. I'm diggin everything else tho. Keep it up bro. :naughty:

I'd hit it... I love the blacked out look on dark slate coupes.... a nice, subtle contrast that's different from a completely blacked out black car...

once you get a new front grill and maybe some GTR headlight overlays, you'll be good to go!!!! nice work, keep it up dude, looking forward to seeing the final product!

Exactly my feeling and what Im going for. I definitely need tint as well, but I dont even want to go that dark, thinking like 30% all around. Also going to smoke the rear Nissan burger, and with some headlight overlays or a bake and paint, I should have no color on the exterior except DS and dark grey/black.

You have no idea these pics do not do the wheels justice, they look so sick in person.

Thanks for the compliments gentlemen. :dblthumb:

No, zero issues with rubbing but Im having a major vibration issue right now. Supposedly they came balanced, had to have them re-balanced Saturday, and just left the shop again because the jiggle was still there around 70MPH. Havent had a chance to get on the highway yet but hopefully all is good.

I had the same issue with my 18s I got put on with new tires. I had to have them re balanced as well as the alignment done of course. But after awhile it all smooths out. Your car looks a lot like mine, similar wheels and all.

Yeah Ranga I remember picking your brain a ton when you posted your thread of your Tenzo's. I love their wheels, the ones you have were up on my list as well. How long did it take for everything to settle in for you? Im going on 5 days now.

Hmm, hard to remember, I don't think it was as long as 5 days though. Kinda funny, I was also considering the wheels you have before I went with the ones I have now.

I like the blacking out of the turn signals on the mirrors. What did you do to accomplish that?

After my re-re-re-balance yesterday my drive in to work was much better, but still not shakeless. I dont know, Ive never even had tires this low profile, I might just be freaking out on an OCD trip or something.

As for the mirror signal, just pop it out and spray it, thread below. Just be careful of the bottom clips I mention. I snapped both of them on both mirrors. Everything went back in and is snug but still better to not snap obviously. I have two coats and the signal is pretty much non existant, I think 1 should be fine. Im going to pop mine back out and strip the spray and re-do it with 1 coat eventually.

Hey man... do you have hubcentric rings installed on your wheels? If the vibration is still rough then there's a possibility that might be what's causing it.

Also - what size are your wheels? They look super sharp.

I do have hubcentric rings installed, are you saying I should REMOVE them? Isnt that a terrible, possible disasterous idea?

Wheels are 19" x 8.5"
