Has anyone done this to the PIG nose?

Post by **annunziato39** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:57 pm

I'm going to put the Pig Nose on my 240, but i'm going to fill the vents so its nice and flush. Has anyone done this? If so can i see a pic of it. And if no one has can someone photoshop soem pics. I'm thinking it should look good but i have nothing but black cardboard to give me a visual. Thanks Guys.

What you mean by "fill the vents".

You'll block all the radiator flow.

he means the little "vents" that define the pignose, they are covered up anyways.

I mean the two "nostrals" on the top, right below the hood.

Keep them... they are there for a purpose.

There is? I didnt think there was since they are blocked up and aren't actual vents. I like them but I didn't know they did anything.

besides holding the black pieces of plastic, what 'purpose' do they serve?

Kindda reminds me of the old school rx7 front but nice if you look at the whole thing.

why is it that white 240sx bumpers never match the sheetmetal?

I love the way that looks!!

its a wannabe chuki bumper. i swear its only a step away so replace it with the later style.

Post by **annunziato39** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:57 pm

thanks axel for the photoshop. I have the chuki on and i like it, but i wanted to try something new out. I love the way the zenki loos... except for the vents... but not real vents... things.

i kinda like, but still like it with the nostrils

Post by **whiterps13** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:57 pm

Post by **EastCoast240** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:57 pm

Yea, ur right. Now taking out the whole area including the center divider and replaceing it with a grill would be kewl.

Post by **Altiman94** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:57 pm

thats looks good. Do it and post some pics

Post by **BuLLeTdrift** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:57 pm

i think that looks hella sic. i think if my 240 was a year older i'd do that. i say go for it, you have nothing to lose.

I think you mean ChunkiDori right? I looked his up and that looks good but thats not what I meant. What I meant what the part that the original poster was going to fill in. I went out and looked at it lastnight and I don't think it would look right the way I was thinking, though.

Post by **wangless** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:57 pm

chuNkidori ?! i thought it was chukidori this whole time...

Post by **ShadowKnight006** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:57 pm

well I ran it through the search several time like you spelled it, nothing. Then I remembered seeing ChunkiDori in another thread and put 2+2 together and checked his site.

I think the two "nostrals" on the top, right below the hood, is what diffine a Pig Nose A PIG NOSE! Because if you fill it up it look kinda like a shark nose. I am about to cut the 2 nostrals open so air can flow through= better air Die-an-mics. LOL can't spell! Maybe alittle better gas Mileage!

the pig nose is sexy! when will ppl learn? ::sigh:: the zenki bumper owns! that's why everbody wants our lips...haha

Post by **i2ice4m3** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:57 pm

haha they want our LIPS, not bumper. but i do like the pig nose..it has grown on me. I think that with the lip looks better than the kouki w/out the lip

Post by **wangless** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:57 pm

Post by **silkk** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:57 pm
