Just put on my wheels today so decided nows a good time to put up some pics! 2008 3.5, Prem package. Mods so far are tint, interior LEDs, and Nismo wheels wrapped in Eagle GT's.

Been on the forum a while now and learned a lot. Not going to lie...another member on here has a sick looking precision grey coupe that inspired me. I think his id is B-More Coupe or something??

Opinions welcome!

Car looks nice dude. I think the next mod should be to tint the tail lights. Not to dark though just a light spray.

Ya, I really would like to tint the tail lights but not sure if its legal here in MA. Other mod's to come are paint the calipers silver or black, stillen lip spoiler, and fix a license plate imprint on my rear bumper when I got rear ended last summer. Thinking of maybe nismo exhaust and intake also, but not sure...

Appreciate all the comments everyone.

I agree a drop would make it look reeeeally good, however I drive this car year round in New England weather and all so dont think that would be a good idea. Feet of snow, potholes, and my steep driveway wouldnt go over well.

I live in Northern MA so not sure if I'd be able to make a meet at the cape. Depends on the day and what I got going on. I work about 60 hours a week, saturdays included.

The only thing that sux about these rims is that you can see rust on my rotars and brake pads. Yuck! I plan on painting the calipers black, but is there anything I can do about the rust on the rotars?

Drive 100 feet...

That will clear up any rust on the face of the rotar when you come to a stop

Interms of the sides...I don't really think there is without replacement...you could scrape it back and put some of the G2 caliper paint on the side, that might help...but I really don't think there is an easy way...the part is designed to have new metal on the face of it constantly...

For the area of the rotor that is not touched by the brake. I sanded the rust off and painted it with rustoleum and it still is on 1/2 year later. I plan on doing it again with some high temp paint in the future

I plan on getting G2 epoxy paint for the calipers. Anyone know if theres enough left over for the rotors as well?

I have only heard...but people said you could paint 2 sets of 4 with their kit, you would just have to have both cars there and prepped because it hardens in 1-2 hours. I think there might be enough...

Thanks! They make them in gunmetal as well. They've been discontinued and were a b**** to find though, took me like a month.

If you can get them at that price thats a good deal. I got mine for 180 a piece. The gun metal ones however do run a little more expensive and are harder to find. Total cost after wheels, tires, mount and balance they run me about $1800.

Thank you. I do like to go for the clean look personally. I'm really itching to buy stillen lip spoiler and rear spoiler as well now that they got a sale going on.

Looks real good Joe. We should still meet up if you want to take a spin on my car with the drop. I have the same wheels now too (silver not gunmetal). You need the drop, I need the tint. Put snow tires on the stock rims for the winter. You'll be happy you did.

Get back at me, we have to be able to get this together.

Oh and Bravey, we are definately going to do a meet somewhere down on the beach soon. Its gettin real nice out.
