I finally found some time to go take some pictures of my s13... I just got the wheels on afew weeks ago, the 180sx side markers are afew weeks old too, and the lip was put on wednesday!:D What do you guys think (other than wtf is up with that wheel gap:pface)!











how pimp is that lip huh?:D Its a Nissan Motorsports lip from their catalog... I think list is right about $200, but its been discontinued:( too bad, I really think it completes the 91-93 front end!

p.s. there are afew more pics on my cardomain page: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/321931

STOCK PAINT!:eek: thats what I get for having under 80k miles:D

thanks for the positive comments everyone, I try and keep it clean... I have some solid black racing seats coming, and I plan on lowering it about an inch and a half with some eibachs/kyb's eventually (gotta get my CA18 running again first!)

Very nice. I need rims for my car, and hadn't even considered black rims until I saw your car. Now I have to side between black, bronze, and graphite. Your car is a perfect example of tasteful aesthetic upgrades. You should check out the driving lights from PDM that go where the little grills under your turn signals are. That would really complete your front end (except a big FMIC).

EDIT: here's the link to those lights http://www.pdm-racing.com/prod....html

haha... because it IS a one-via;) I don't want to argue semantics, but its a silvia (coupe) with a 180sx front (pop-ups) so its a "one-via" I know... i know... there will be some jacka$s who wants to argue its not "technically" correct, but whatever i can call it whatever I like! :pface j/k

the wheels are shelby wheels of unknown origin... very lightweight and have "shelby" stamped into them on the back... 15x7 I got them off ebay for $100 shipped about a year ago:)

thank you:D

I actually have some pretty nice driving lights under my stock grilles now... I've been thinking of getting those canadian lights, but I'm not sure. I like the whole black red theme I have on the front end right now...

here's an old pic (before the lip) but you can see kinda how they look at night:)

I actually do like that lip. Photoshop it body color and see if you like it. If you do, paint it. It might look real good painted.

Sean - That thing is SWEET!

The old-school mesh rims look solid - I like the lip black - Looks less "trendy". Very cool.

I agree, the lip looks great in black. I don't think it'd be as noticeable if it matched the car. I wish those were still made. The mesh wheels are *****in' too. I can't find a good set of mesh rims that aren't used, over priced, scratch and dent, JDM junkyard specials.

i bet those rims are a nononono, because they are probaly lug-centric. Which is bad. But other than that the car looks great!

Nice ride!I like the front lip in black (and it hides that scratches better, too). I think the Canadian lights would loook great with clear signals in front. But the fog lights behind the grills looks cool.Clean car, only 80k miles! Wow!

very nice! :D i love the old black mesh style wheels. my last car had a set of Enkei made black mesh wheels with a nice fat polished lip on them and they were staggered sizes (16x7 front and 16x8 rear). but they were 5-lug:(

Looking good man. That front lip makes it look like a 3rd gen RX-7 from the front.

Okay... I'm the only one here who isn't saying positive on the styling... I'm gonna get soooo flamed... *puts on flame retardent gear*

the front lip looks decent on the car, but the wheels have got to go. Old school or not, they look ghetto... Like the wheels that are painted black and put on civics here in Cali...
