Just put on my new 'Silvia' rear emblem today! It's always the small things that make you feel good :D



One thing I'm trying to figure out right now, though, is what to do about an A-pillar gauge pod. The one that we had gotten for the car won't fit because the 'vert a-pillar is different than the normal 240 a-pillars (no auto seat belt). I'm trying to figure out if another pod from a different nissan will fit or not. Anybody got any guesses?

Don't you need the JDM taillights to put on a silvia tail garnish?

I would assume since I have a silvia engine, that putting a silvia emblem on the back would be...umm...ok. But to complete the rear JDM conversion, yes I would need Silvia tails, although they look basically the same if you ask me.

I'm in the process of grinding down the 240 pod to fit, but I was hoping maybe there was an easier alternative than the saw.

Yes the JDM and US tails are the same, as far as I know. Aside from the english on ours, and the Japanese on theirs. I'd rather save my money on tails and put it towards the Silvia face I want to do :D
