Looks good. Paint is all it's needed.

The tint on the lights look clean. Nice job!

Def a Silvia front-end would make your vert stand out.

Rather have the wheels orange then see someone paint or tint their tails black, pointless

How do you plan on running that in a lemons race? It's pretty obvious that it cost more then $500...

you should fix that rust on the strut tower. there's more rust than the eye can see.

looks pretty rad. not sure about the wheels, i kind of like them orange at least they aren't flat black. also more pics of the lovely lady, and i guess a few of the car wouldn't hurt.

did a little work today
got this hood from frpbodykits, off ebay. welllllll its way lighter then the stock hood, and it looks pretty good, cost wasn't to bad either...only bad part, is i can't get it to latch for the life of me, soooo i got some hood pins today also, need to put those on tomorrow, hence why the hood isn't shut all the way

i get my bride vios III's in 2 days also..so onto the pics

question!...how bad is it to have the engine exposed this much? when it rains, which has a lot recently will that cause damage to anything that far up on the engine? should i worry?

your dizzy is gonna be wet and you'll be sucking up rain water causing your maf to be wet. seems like your hood doesn't fit right. I'm sure your belts and pulleys will be wet.
