AWW! That reminds me of my old pet pig piglett...
And pignose with a pignose with lip and a intercooler behind it is amazing when slammed. But I am not going to slam my car, and in my opinion the chuki bumper looks better at a higher height, but the pignose looks the best slammed though. ;)

So you can disassemble the fuse box almost entirely, then just begin stuffing... Dont be gentle.

Nice work man that looks really good. Plus they are still pretty easily accessible where they are at. Keep it up

I know those ones look great but I want nothing on that side this is the overflow set-up I want to run. I think it looks really clean.
Thanks for the input guys. :biggrin:

I figured you of all people would say something about it. haha :chuckle:
The thing was clean as all heck when I got it. It only had 123,000 miles on it. But ALOT of work on it when it came to the stereo, alarm system, paint and body work was really shotty and I had to go back and re-do it all. But I'm sure thats not his fault.

LOL. I couldn't resist dumping that in here. I actually had it copied from where I was fixing the first page on my build thread (images got deleted during software switch), and wanted to dump it somewhere where KA vs SR was being discussed.

I have a pretty bad gas tank leak and I just stumbled across this today. I believe it will do the trick instead of paying $269 for a new tank.

I wanted it photoshopped so I could see if my front bumper would look good black. The picture you posted has a different bumper and different lip. Thank you though. I also appreciate the wheel suggestion but I'm going with 002's...

If you're asking for my input, then here it is. I love that color and I love those rims. But on the same note, it reminds me of what's going on in the Honda seen :ohno: Are Nissan owners following the Honda fan boi's now?
