NEW WHEEEELS!

[nismobenzo]

good points-thanks alot for your input man.
ill work on my stance and fitment after the carshow this weekend-
until them im shaving the sponge spoiler and repainting my hatch
and repainting my lip.
first things to do after is put on my rucas and toe arms and get camber plates.

[Future_gohan]

Sounds goood. If you don't want to repaint your lip, go get a pinstripe kit from advance or something, and just do a strip a different color, I did it on my old rims they looked completely different.

[nismobenzo]

im painting my lip..to my pignose bumper..lol
im not guna ruin this 2.5" chrome lip =P

[Future_gohan]

oh. well pinstripes don't run lips. :p I'm trying to find a pic of my old rims with a red pinstripe. hold on

[Future_gohan]

Not sure how to edit yet? lol


Pinstripe^

No Pinstripe

boringgg. :p

[nismobenzo]

hmmm to each their own =P
i just repainted my pignose lip dark grey primer..almost matches my paint exactly ha

[ZX88]

the rub will fix your tires for you.


id show you my set up but the horrible new nico format wont let me post any pics in my photo bucket cause they are all larger than 640 px


Geez this design is hilariously bad.

[nismobenzo]

yeah i hate this new setup so far >:/
but yah ive noticed a minuet sliver of rubber from it rubbing hah

[Future_gohan]

you hate it? tisk tisk.

[nismobenzo]

yeah the new setup of the forums ;P i need to speak in more detailed sentences on here..ha

[nismobenzo]

im not too partial to starting new threads soooo
*question/opinsion*
should i just repaint the door and rear to match the new paint on the skirts and lip?
most likely because my stock paint is 20 years and faded
..i have the 180sx aero front but its bright yellow and chipped/cracked
so ima fiberglass and repaint even though im not sure if i want to put it on..

I like your two-tone scheme. You don't see that on hatches. I'd say just touch up your paint. Make that lower portion actually black instead of faded gray... And paint the roof black while you're at it.

[nismobenzo]

yeah im just not sure if im guna like dailying my car with the aero kit
ima have to do some research on painting i guess...
i dont have much knowledge of clearcoating-but im pretty sure it will need it
im using a dark grey primer and its coming out really well besides there is no clear coat
and it is easily scratched and fingerprints stick as well.
really i just need to find out if i need to put clearcoat on a freshly painted coat or can it be dry
and just spray clear coat as a sealant..

[240sxjoe92]

Its coming along great..i cant wait to see more : }

[240lookis]

you can lay down clear coat after the paint has dried. of course you need to clean the surface first.

[nismobenzo]

cool i wasnt sure-thanks. because the color i found isnt that cheap but clear coat is.

[nismobenzo]

i know this is probably an oxymoron..but are there any decent quality/price spray on clearcoats??
i dont know if one rattle can clear coat would be better than another but any good cheap brands you could suggest?

[nismobenzo]

lots up updates..i realize this isnt a build thread tho...dont feel like making a new thread...should i??
back from the dead perhaps..BUT after i upgrade my wheels and get rotors for my 5 lug swap im guna start primering for paint..
one of these two colors should suffice..decisions...
