Who has the cleanest looking/set-up pignose hatch that you guys know of? I'm just looking for some inspiration and ideas... I dont want to go too extreme with the look.. just really clean.. something that hints that the car is sick without having 5" lip on the rims, wide body kits, or 18" rims...

thanks in advance

you want clean? just keep it stock with stock rims... thats clean. my pignose is just like that and everyone likes it =] its just clean thats all it is.

EDIT: Stock as i mean, no body kit, just get OEM mud flaps/mud guards and clean lip

already got mud-flaps, missing the o.e. lip, looking for that all over many forums. hopefully i can catch one for less than 80i was thinking of maybe a type-x or sil-80 look later on, but for now maybe the stock look with tear-drops will rock.

uhh so clean = looks like my grandmas car? pignose bumper, teardrop wheels, and mudflaps are ugly balls. and stock hatches with silvia face is so lame.

i hate sleeper cars, such a stupid thing.

oh well, thats your opinion.

others just prefer not to get the attention of cops.

theres no point in making a car look good and have the cops eye you. And if you drift theres no real point unless you got money since you are bound to **** up sometime. Unless you are crazy good and never **** up, props to you, but most of us keep it stock cuz body kits are too gay and expensive to maintain for a drifter.

I've had te vertex kit, pdm-lip, bomex kit, and the nismo knock-off kit...All snapped like twigs. In the end there is nothing likefactory plastic and sheet metal.

NO kit , stock lip , and nice old school rims.....no wing or stock wing will do....thats the way I like mine, but I do have a wing on mine but I think it complements the JDM look I was lookin for...

I agree, stock is very nice looking... as long as everything is clean. Sometimes when you add a bunch of stuff, everything looks like a jumble, and so even if it is clean.. it doesn't give that feeling.

Love the pignose action! I hope to revive this thread when I get mine looking nice. She got a new control arm Tuesday along with a full tune-up: New plugs, wires, air filter, oil/filter, O2 sensor, cap and rotor. Runs like a champ with almost 225k on the odo.

Next step is to get new rear tires, an alignment and will probably do new springs/struts before the alignment. I'll also get a full coolant flush/clean and be ready to start the auto-x season.

Then come the mods...

what do you mean control arm? why did you have to get that replaced. i ask because i just recently got my lower right control arm replaced. jacked a curb : ( should've swung my tail out more. but it's fixed as of today. yay!
