Hey well i know you cant really say a 240sx is oldschool because its still a newer car, but im into old 240z's, 510's, etc etc type of cars. And when i as going to do the 240Z project it was going to be all oldschool look to it.So does anybody have any old school ideas, and looks for the 240sx? im open to ideas.. i really cant think of anything. Pics would be awesome!ThanksMike

not on a Silvia, it was an option on the S13 but mine was the only one I ever saw. I did it myself with some Cedric taxi mirrors.

old school wheels (http://www.jspec.com always has some goodies) and a silvia conversion. I think the coupes look more oldschool than the fastbacks (and i like oldschool :) ).
