This is it, all put together. Im waiting on my HUD and red Bride seats, but I guess is done. This was a project of love.....restoration. No pimping or overhauling here...I dont race, drift or do shows. This is my daily driver, sometimes family car, business car,etc....for the last 15 years. The car is stock and was stock until last year. Thats when for the first time I got custom rims for it and from there kept going into all the extra "mods" until now...Now time to update my sig...

Too much money invested on my baby but she deserves it....

Yes Fort Rucker, Army Aviation museum....inside they have the Comanche prototype, maybe I can talk somebody into letting me drive the car inside and take pics side by side with my ride.....

Very well executed, subtle improvement is sometimes the best type.

Very nice clean car. I wouldn't change a thing (except maybe taking another picture w/ the rim turning toward the camera instead of the tire - ).

And maybe a shot of the interior w/ the seat.

For the seat: How does the bride seat/rail height compare to stock. I'm guessing you don't have a problem w/ head clearance since fastbacks have slightly more room?

I got it brand new, EBay from Japan. Is a Ken Styles, is out of production. I was going to go with the nissan oem one, and reuse the original holes on the hatch, but found this wing cheaper, like the looks and very unique. I get flame a lot from wing haters, but hey....is all good.

I still havent had a chance to get the seats on.....all the X-mas shopping.. , but yeah head clearance should not be an issue. Thanks for the photo tips, you are right. I took these around sunset and the lightning was terrible, way too many shadows....Brokeas240sx, you know from a website with automotive photo tutorials?, some of the pics on auto magazines are awesome and I love to be able to snap a few more with better quality and impact....
