Every time I look at Aphu's and Sanosuke's rides, I get so jealous of the wheels and the low. What exhaust are you running that you can go that low without it scraping? The GReddy SP Elite hangs really low in the mid pipe.

The only way to get a catback on the AC and avoid losing ground clearance is to go axleback (Stillen, Tanabe, Borla).

To my knowledge, there isn't a catback setup that doesn't take the latter end of the mid-piping down past the OEM heat-shielded area. The reason for this is because of flow engineers want to get to produce power gains in most cases. The Greddy exhausts are examples of this.

That said, I do know that the Greddy SE (same setup as the SP Elite) with Tein springs isn't terrible for clearance. I can guarantee you'll nail it if you're slammed on coils.

I'm not sure.. A guy offered me some vossen cv3s.. But I'm going for super concave for my next set and agressive af. Might go 20x10.5 all around or 19x10.5 all around. Suggestions would be appreciated:)

Lol this

BTW, the EARLY 08 models have steel oil pans.

Mid 08 Nissan switched to aluminum for better oil cooling.

I banged mine up a lot. It dented and started to leak, but it never cracked like that aluminum one! Replaced it with good ol steel! :gapteeth:

I had the same problem, Ive taken my bumper off so many times the part that accepts the clips on the car just wore out. You can replace them for about $3.00 each, they attach with 2 bolts. I did so about a year ago and the passenger side is still in good condition, the driver side is starting to pop a bit every once in a while.

Rear corners look real nice! :mike

Im talking about the part right under the headlight, there arent any screws there? If you are talking about the screw in the wheel well, or even if you are talking about the 3 clips under the headlight that you somehow screwed into, I think you might be SOA. Get creative, use duct tape and s***.

Yes. Except I used a bigger screw that can hold the clip. The clip is still there it's just a part of it that's broken. That was my rear bumper, the front bumper however I still have to fix :tisk:

Edit: I didn't drill any holes to be more specific
