ya know funny you mention that, I was actually about to reply that I would love to talk him out of his wheels :p something like that, lowered, and debating on a black top and mirrors. I would like to do an exhaust too, but they all come with tips, and I hate to pay for something im gonna have replaced either with black chrome or powder coat black lol.

If he goes with a whole red and black theme i think it could look cool. Im trying to imagine it with roof/light overlays and dangeris' wheels.

.. that's exactly what i was thinking... you've got greyish color grill, red nissan letters, black burger and a black mustache, the proximity of that merge of colors near the crystal clear headlights with the fugly amber showing... its just too much... sorry, not feeling it at all

i think its a good effort something seems off tho..the hamburger...the red?...something....nope figured it out...it is the black....the guys are right...that black has no place on that car...theres no tie in or relation...to it...the grille is grey and the bottom grille is not that black!...ur introducing another color

lotsa mixed feelings on this one eh lol. The honeycomb part of the grill I agree needs to be black, That will come when I get the time to do so. That or if somebody will come out with an acceptable replcement all together (which is what I really am waiting for, this cost me about 2 hours time actually spent on it not from start to finish, and about 20 bucks *shrug*) The lower grille black does match the black on the stache though . Ill have the pics of the rear up tonight, it just needs a debadge finished and the rear diffuser mathced in black instead of the grayish color it is.

Thanks for all the opinions guys! more welcome

ummm no I think its cause your sedan is black, I think the staches look better colour matched.

Nice work.

How come no one paints the plastic around the fogs? I've been thinking of getting that done along with the honeycomb grill.

Tint? If you mean the windows no I didn't. There is chrome trimming around the windows and that is what I blacked out with black vinyl and the grill I painted it with spray paint.
