1. i say tint them to look like the gtr overlays or better yet get the gtr style overlays for the front its so much easier than baking and it still looks aggresive as hell
2. i dont get ur ? or where ur going w/ it lol
6. Yes if ur gonna drop this much u mine as well
did u just make a ton of money randomly or something lol
I was only getting the Stillen BBK, not the AP Racing. (So 2.6G instead of 4G) That way I could keep the OEM wheels around for winters and also be able to use the dummy in the event of a flat.
I'd considered just swapping the rotors, but IMHO slots for grip and being drilled out for cooling are not a substitute for extra pistons in the calipers. While I've decided not to boost the car, I do a fair bit of "spirited" driving through the mtns, so every little bit helps.
1. I'm not too concerned about the baking... I've baked headlights before for mod projects, so I'm comfortable with it. Plus I have time on my side since I'll be off from Friday through next Thursday. With my car being in the body shop for three of those days.
2. What I meant was that I am on my second pair of OEM headlights. The mounting clips on my original set got damaged, so they replaced EVERYTHING. Thus, I have an extra set of HIDs. The question was how difficult you guys think it would be to mount them in the foglights, rather than using the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs I have waiting to be mounted?
6. The reason I mention it is because my fiancee is going to be matching for her medical residency, and we have no idea where we're going to end up. Otherwise, I would have considered hitting someone around me up to let me pay them to use theirs. Then I could just do a backup of it and be g2g in the future. Still might opt for that.
Nope, I didn't run into a ton of money... We finished a decent-sized contract early, so we got the early completion bonus as well as payment in full. I own the businesses doing the work, so I won't complain!
I was seriously considering going down the SFR turbo route, but my A/C is going to be relegated to a daily driver shortly... If I have my way (as opposed to my fiancee's ) I'll have a 370z, add the NISMO body kit, a custom HoK Midnight Blue Black Pearl paintjob, a pair of Turbonetics GT-K turbos and all the fixins to drive on weekends!
