Okay so here is what got done today:- 5 Lug (Front and most of the passenger side rear)
- Z32 Brakes, stainless braided lines, drilled/slotted rotors (Front)
- Kei Office Coilovers (Front)
- Nismo LMGT 4 Wheels mounted w/ Rays Lugnuts (Front)
- Added HKS Air Filter in place of AEM and took off AEM Sticker
- Found a convertible boot and bought it should be here next week (hopefully)
PICS:
Sits pretty flush, needs to be a little lower and I need to take out some camber, but fit pretty good.
Another engine pic 
Let me know what you all think. I am new to the verts but not 240's. I have had a fully built s14 and a coupe that was partially built but never finished. If you have any advice please let me know as I am listening. Convertibles are new to me so I could use some help.
PICS of the S14 (currently being parted out) and Coupe:

Okay, so today I put some 6.5" sony 4 way speakers upfront to take care of the blown stock speakers
put in my leather wrapped glove box to match the redline goods console cover/ebrake cover and eventually shift boot.
Also modified my stock belt buckles to fit the skyline seats.

As for the "eurolines" they were actually Starform Type-D wheels, and I sold them last week... they would have been pretty nice on here, but they were hard to fit on the coupe...Hopefully this weekend I am:
- throwing on the new rear coilovers,
- rolling the rear fenders, and possibly the fronts too
- dropping it down some
- possibly relocating harnesses that run inside the fenders....
- painting and putting on a zenki lip Over the next week I hope to:
- put my blacktop sr back together (took it apart to put apexi headgasket, arp head studs, etc.)
- pull the motor and trans
- clean the engine bay, and get it prepped for sr/manual

Got the front lip put on but had some trouble w/ the other sideskirt/rear valance, so still working on that... but I think this thing is awesome... It will be hard as hell to drive around here (NY, out in the sticks  ) but it looks killer....

A few more pics...
Radiator Cooling Panel
I now have to tear the front end apart, and get the silvia front put on along w/ a few other things, but that could take a while
Anyone that has put the brick headlights in; do you need the harness for the brick headlights, or can am I able to use the stock popup harness? I am told it's plug and play, but don't know for sure. Thanks.

Blah on the GS...... but at leasts its not an RS. LOL
Still looks good tho. Not to bad for the wifes daily.
+1 for her and her awesomeness. -1 for my girl not wanting anything to do with my cars. Plan on doing anything else to the a** end, or you just keeping the valances, not that im dissing those, just sort of looks incomplete.

Yeah, she got a good deal on it, and it's in really nice shap, so it works and she gets into the car scene, and for all my cars she hasn't even complained once as for the rear, they never made anything else for the coupes/verts (OEM that is), just the valances. I had a 180sx rear valance kit which has a center section too, but that doesn't work w/ the coupes/verts... I am currently putting the s13 silvia front end on, so maybe that will help, I know it's not in the back but make it flow a little better 
Either way, thanks for hte comments

Still a 2G is a 2G no matter what way you look at it. But then again JDM > DSM any day. LOLAnd yeah i think that a Sil front will make the car flow 100 times better than the flip ups. I love the look of a sil front on the verts. Ps... what lip is that on your stock front end? That off a pig nose? Looks nice.
