looks good so far just needs 1 color paint and i'm sure it'll look completely different. what color are you painting it?

Good choice. I think it will look like El Sekso.

looks good on the outside man... clean up that engine bay a little tho... mild wire tuck and a tasteful reroute of vac lines, etc would make a world of difference.

the gtr style isnt so bad when done right:

I wasnt going to bother to ask this , but why do you have 2 different body kits? The GTR Style front bumper is fugly , but the pic of your car grey with the other kit w/flares looks nice. Post of some pics after paint.

If it wasn't for the fender flares it would be a lot better. Why not just go over fenders?

lol i was thinking the exact same thing. i'd say 95% of S13's i've ever seen with flares looked horrid for one reason or another, but yours aren't as gross lol.

i'm excited for you, i want to see the finished project. she's gonna be a looker ; )

does the custom fan shroud work better than just having the fan there? and is there any other venting on it besides the fan?

yea it works great, actually its only a 10" fan and when is does come on its only on for a few min's at a time, and its rarely on...the shroud is completly sealed to the radiator and that is the only venting
