So finally got the car to the shop and got all the "major" work done. Theres are some before and after shots to help people out with their choices on their respective cars. Hope you all enjoy.


First. Borla exhaust. Sounds gorgeous. Nice rumble in low rpms. love it. :chuckle:

Image

Second. Brembo cross drilled brake rotors. Hawk brake pads. Calipers painted black

Image

Third. Eibach pro kit. IMO the cheapest best upgrade for the AC. ride is still smooth gotta say. i know they have to settle still but all in all im very happy with the way it turned out. They should make the cars like this not with that horrible OEM wheel gap

Image

Fourth. CMOD grille.

Image

Image
Fifth. Debadging

rear end before the drop

Lastly. The roof. Wash. Wax. Air in tires. With the new Eibach stance.

Funny; I had my eibach's put on at the Nissan dealership that I got my car, and they said the same thing you said when I picked it up "Car looks great; it should have looked like that from the factory" referring to the ride height from eibach's. It was funny to me that came from one of Nissan's own service advisors. Car looks great by the way.

Where did you buy the Borla exhaust? It's only an axle-back, correct?

do you mind me asking you how much you paid for it? Also, were there any problems with the exhaust, such as uneven tips or anything like that after installation? It looks like a great exhaust!

paid for the whole job ? or just the exhaust ? the exhaust was $1,100 and the whole job from tip to tail was $6,200 ish. Installation was easy as pie its all bolt on had to put a replacement gasket. As for post installation nothing went wrong it was plug and play really perfect fit. love the sound of it sounds great in 4th and 5th gear and the cabin drone hasnt gone up drastically either.

ALL ABOVE NUMBERS ARE IN CANADIAN DOLLARS.

Right YoungCoupe? The cheapest I've found the Borla exhaust is for $705.93 and that's on Amazon.com...that's a crazy amount of money for an installation...

Well both of you don't realize those are American charges and anyone in Canada will tell you that taxes and shipping up here are ridiculous so no 1100$ isn't that much when your up north
