my ride

[Eriko]

First of all let me introduce myself. My name is erik and im from riverside ca. I got the xar back in october 11 2010 used with only 10000 miles on her and she was completely stock. Here are some pictures of how she sits now.











not sure who took those last 2 pics but i gotta say thanks to them...
also gotta thank alexm for answering all my questions about the wheels

[Eriko]

The wheels are 20x9 +20 up front with a 225/35 tire and rears are 20x10.5 +25 with a 245/35 tire. Ive also done some other things that are not pictured like switchback leds in the turn signals and a injen intake. I also need to put on my carbon fiber trunk that's sitting in my room....

[trollsquadcoupe]

DIY write up on headliner please?

[2010alticoupe]

The last two pics make it look great. I really like how your car currently sits.
Wey
Oh yeah, paint the Nissan emblem black and put it back on the trunk, remove the v6 though.

[aphu]

[sc20]

Thanks... thier actually lightly painted. The painter mixed black with clearcoat to spray them

[Innovazn]

pleasantly and tastefully done. I like it

[MuranoDriver]

I loveeeeeeee your ride man! I look at it all the time at the other Nissan forum.

I want those wheels!!!!!!!!! haha

[Oilsink]

Props. Best stance ive seen. I was thinking about wrapping the headliner in suede the other day. Was it a diy or did you have a shop do it for you?

[SanoSuKe]

let's talk fitment :p what'd you do to fit those bad boys? pull/roll? camber?

Edit: I just saw the CF trunk part, please don't. The car is so clean and simple that way.

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Nice job Erik. Love the wheels.

[Eriko]

Thanks everybody i appreciate all the likes for my it
the suede was an actually a diy job between my brother and I. The materials cost about 80, but i had to get more since i was also wrapping some trim panels for the sub box, and it took us around half a day to finish it.
I had to do all 3 to fit these. Roll, pull, and camber. Funny thing was when i went to wheel shops to ask for prices and i told them the offsets i wanted. Every shop told me wheels werent going to fit and that they would be sticking out 2 inches. The shop i ordered them from made me sign a waiver form saying that if wheels dont fit i cant exchange/return them lol. When the wheel tucks i have about credit card clearance from the rim to hit fender. It looks crazy, i love it.
for the trunk i was thinking.the exact same thing. Everytime i look at that last picture i like how clean and simple it is. What i was thinking though was to paint it like how sndtgr08 has his and only leave the carbon fiber showing on top that way the whole top of my car is black since i have the hood and a black roof. Its the trunk without the wing so it will still look clean. I have to put it on and actually see it on the car to see if i like it. Worse comes to worse i can always resell it since i got it for a really good price off of ricko.

His paint job is top notch, excellent work and it looks amazing. Only works with the CF trunk with the lip though, I think it might look off if you dont get the one with the lip.

[SanoSuKe]

I don't like the black trunk thingy period lol. Some people might call it rice even if it's the CF trunk :p To each their own tho, you're the one driving it.

You haz camber front and rear? and did ya go with the 350z kit?

[Eriko]

Yeah front and rear have camber. And no 350z kit

[SanoSuKe]

Yeah front and rear have camber. And no 350z kit

So what camber kit did you end up going with, if you dont mind me asking? I'll start PM'ing next time so I don't spam your thread

[Eriko]

Its no problem its actually all the stock hardware. The front though i adjusted the camber plate on the top of the coilover and thats about it

Yeah the more i look at the more unsure i get about putting it on. Im thinking of getting a little sheet of carbon fiber vinyl and laying it over my stock trunk just to see how it will look like and if i end up liking it or not

[AlexM.]

Looks great man, turned out real nice! I only have one suggestion...



Please leave the rear how it is, it looks so clean!

[DJ_B_Easy]

Well here is a pic of his from Carlisle this year. Looking at this again, if you dont have the lip on the trunk, its going to look wrong. I say no lip, no CF, and then you are to where AlexM said LEAVE IT CLEAN!



And this is how he tied it into the front. Roof is CF as well I think, or black, one or the other.

[Innovazn]

.... thanks beasy... need to go change my pants and throw out my chair...

[bundy26]

Them wheels look great, nice looking coupe.

[Eric Noa]

Love how your coupe sits... I have to agree with the others, leave the back how it is now. Feel free to remove the V6 emblem but other than that don't touch anything lol

[YoungCoupe]

Damnnnn loving your ride. I love the wheels and stance I'd have to agree with not putting on the cf trunk. It won't look as clean

[DJ_B_Easy]

.... thanks beasy... need to go change my pants and throw out my chair...

LOL! Its a sexy ride for sure, he took 2nd place in "Nissan Other" at Carlisle this year, beat out a couple GT-Rs.

[AlexN09]

Wow you're car really looks great! I love your rims and they're excellent fitment. Have you seen bluebats new hood overlays? Those overlays coupled with new color-matched eyelids would look really excellent and help tie that carbon fiber hood into the rest of the car.

What exhaust are you running? It looks beautiful!

[Eriko]

Thanks to all. I appreciate all the good comments. Now with the trunk im still going to put in on and see how it looks and ill post a coupe pics when i do. If i end up not liking it, I will take it off and resale it.
The exhaust i have is a greddy ti-c version.
