Ok I have got new pics of the Spec with the CF trunk and CF drag wing on it (I know it prolly isn't some individual's cup of tea). Anyhow for those that want to see it here it is. Let me know what you think good or bad (its all good ;) I won't be offended)

I feel compelled to h8 due to the mass of exterior mods but it just looks too damn cool. Side note: Did the tail lights come stock like that? I can't decide if I like the whole assembly being red or not. :)

(It needs a RWD convesion. :pface)

Edit: Ok, so I checked out the CarDomain and I see you "made" those tail lights the way they are. It kinda bothers me but then from one of the angles, it looks kind of Audi-ish, which I <3. :)

Again, nice ride.

i do like those rims. i think the CF trunk is cool, but id paint it to match the rest of the car (my opinion). the wing is nice, although im a fan of understated and/or stock. the pics look aesome though, with teh backdrop and the cloudy sky. very very nice

Hehe thanks but I don't have an all stock motor or anything lol. I should be running the car shortly with some drag radials and I fully suspect I will be running at least mid to low 14s in the 1/4 with all the bolt-ons assuming my radials can hook a lot better than the stock wheels/tires otherwise I am high 14s. Either way I don't think that is too bad for a naturally aspirated 4-banger but I mean it is a Sentra so it isn't exactly keeping up with Ferraris or anything. Not to mention the fastest n/a Specs I have seen run are only doing around 14 flat and that is with cams, balance shaft removal, and a Ferrera valvetrain in addition to what I already have done. To me spending that much money more money (~$1500 at my prices not retail) to have a low 14 second to high 13 second car isn't worth the difference.

Even the few turbo Specs that are out there have only been sitting in the land of 13s from what I have understood but they have turned decent numbers on the dyno (if we can get that traction issue resolved the times should drop).

And I did also autocross this car as well all last year so it isn't just a pretty toy (well yeah it is but I am not scared to race it lol).

Besides that I have a lovely little grocery getter named Stanza that will hopefully be seeing 13s in the near future if I can ever get this stupid swap finished.

Thanks for not completely hating my car though :pface

Oh and the tails are not stock. Tehy are ricetezzas tinted red to try and get them as close to stock looking as I could but keep a custom theme. The reflection off the chrome though makes the tint look kinda pink though so I think I am going with different tails with a black housing and painting them red ;)

That's my house wtf ;)

Naw, I am not really sure what the heck it is. I think it is something related to a church but I am not sure cause I have never seen any cars parked there :confused: cause if you look in the windows you can see some sports related trophies and stuff but like I said I have no idea but the place is about 10 minutes from my house. I passed it one day coming back from Dane's (Jezter) place in Bardtown and I thought it looked cool :)

Corey, you know I love your car, but I must say that I am not feeling the trunk and wing. Maybe if the trunk was painted I would feel different. The wing is just too big for my tastes. But, with that said, it is still a pretty kickass car and low 14's would be impressive with that engine.

I think what helped was that amazing backdrop. Thats a very rare chance, to get pics of you car with that amazing of a background.

About the car: CF has never been a huge thing of mine, although it has always complimented your car great. I HATE WINGS, but man, it looks frikin good on your car in those pics. I can't believe I just said it, but it does. Even the CF trunk lid looks pretty good just because it matches all the other CF you already have. So in a few words, Nice going man, looks good.

Man I have been getting a lot of flack for the new wing and complaints of it being too big which is fine cause I knew a lot of people prolly wouldn't like it. The thing is it sits pretty much the same height as the stock wing (maybe just slightly taller cause of the wave in the middle of the wing) lol it just looks different.

Thanks for the honesty though guys :)

Thanks for not putting a huge 1 foot tall wing on it though, I mean it could be MUCH worse. ;)

Thats what I thought it was too!! As for the car, I must say that I'm normally not a fan of wings or different colored body panels...but you pull it off VERY well, its looking good :) Also, you take good pictures, so that helps!

I love the look! Question though - do they not make any CF rear section for the rear bumper? The car looks somewhat unbalanced with the front lip and sideskirts and nothing on the rear. I know from firsthand experience (though if my parts get here soon, that should be remedied shortly).

Yes I have the rear lips for it, I just don't have them on the car yet (they are a bit of a pain to install). I should be putting them on tomorrow if I can get my new head unit working in the car (I am sick of staring at wires :rolleyes ).
