I think the green is just from the trees and grass. I think it's a black car.

I really don't like the smoked tailights, but overall the car looks good.

I would get a GTR grill for the front end, or a chargespeed if you can even find one. Makes a hell of a difference over the sivlia grill.

Clean car. :)

I like the wheels, and the tail lights. But you should tint the middle one black and the outside ones red it would look so good and it would match the wheels.
And I hate your front. Im sorry if you take offence

All the work has been done by my good friend that is a certified Nissan Mech, my Brother and Myself. The engine bay will remain "unclean" simply because I'm pulling the motor at the end of September and rebuilding it, I'm not one of the special people out there that turns the boost way up on stock internals... Like y'all said and I do agree that Kouki tails are some of the best tails out there, I just can't forsee spending that much money on taillights when other things are of more importance as of right now. That and I don't think the smoked tails on there now look bad at all.

Thanks for the greetings and I look foward to seeing y'all around...

How do you like the arm true boost gauge? Is that the only boost controller you are using?

The TruBoost Guauge/Controller is amazing, very fast and accruate and once you get the controll of it down (only 2 buttons on the thing, little tricky to get the button combos down but it doesn't take long) it's a great controller... The way I have it is when you first turn the car on it's in the "OFF" postion, meaning the Boost Controller part of the set up is off but it will still read out your boost (this is my daily diver :) ). One button push later I go from ~8PSI to ~17PSI (~17PSI is a 75% duty cycle)... It also has great things like Peak Boost, pressing the right button for ~2sec will display the peak boost that was recorded. Also it has great features like over boost protection and stuff. I could go on but there is tons of viedos and reviews out there you could read that have better grammer, haha... Really tho if you have a question about the TruBoost I will happly anwser it to the best of my knowing...
