I have an all standard/base 1995 240SX S14 Zenki all stock


Image

I was wondering what other exterior mods can I do to it to make it look very very innocent? i have to admit I really dont like the look of the tail lights, either a red/white LED or a kouki look to it

like this
Image


or this

Image


and maybe put in a side view mirror turn signals on it as well
Image


Also any advice would be helpful on how to make amber turn signals or amber corner lights. paint? tape? vinyl? buying aftermarket? it gives it a slight Camry look in the front lol. also where can i get the Glass headlights so i dont have to worry about the plastic ones fading/yellowing/oxidizing/etc

Image

well what do you think?
awaits noobie flame and what not.


reason being, i used to drive a ej1 civic slammed to the ground and always get pulled over with fart muffler as well lol. and bright blue xenon HID. but my rice days are over.

i removed the 240 badge on the car and a lot of people ask me if it was a camry but were confused because its 2 door and the back end was nissan

best way to lay low is not do anything at all aftermarket to your car. including badge stripping.

why are people confused when they think your camry is a two door...

Camrys are totally ticket magnets.

German Glass Lights
http://www.enjukuracing.com/german-glas ... -7191.html

PLEASE... DO NOT PAINT YOUR CORNER LIGHTS ORANGE! Get Origin Crystal corner lights.

The first set of tail lights you posted are the best. I like the clear signal light on them as opposed to the Kouki's orange ones.

go wing-less. you can never go wrong with wing-less.

I want your car. I want a base Zenki with no sunroof.

go for the 2nd spoiler. and get crystal corners. you can debadge. because cops don't care if they can see youre badge or not.. they will know when they run youre plate..

you can modify youre car and be tasteful. you shouldnt worry about the cops(unless youre riding dirty). you payed for youre car so you should be able to do what you want with it. unless you have a ghey color scheme or some 5% tint on youre window.

or a loud fart can. they can give a s*** less. i run 3" catless exhaust with a aftermarket turbo dump(rb20det) and i don't get pulled over for that.(because it sounds so sexy)

bottom line is if they want to pull you over they will pull you over. don't let that fact scare you from moding youre own car..

That was the problem. These obnoxious exhausts attract a ton of attention - even car lovers like me want to beat you silly for such a stupid mod. And coincidentally the loudest cars are always Hondas (four door Accords at that!).

Keep it quiet & you'll be fine :dblthumb:

I say and this is just my opinion ( which doesnt matter ) drop it, get a nice sounding exhaust that isnt to loud, rims, a oem s14 lip, and just go with that. it will look clean and really wont draw to much attention. My photo bucket isnt working so here is a pic of one that is dropped, has rims and the oem lip....Its clean and doesnt really draw much attention other than the wheels.

Hey now... I like Camrys. :rotfl

Leave it alone. If you want a stock looking car that will not get you extra attention, why would you even bother to modify it?

Same effect as the german lights for 1/3 the price!!! http://www.enjukuracing.com/circuit-spo ... -9891.html

Lower it on anniversary wheels, get a 3 inch cat back and keep your catalytic converters and it wont be too loud, atleast not a nasty raspy s*** honda loud! :dblthumb:
