when i saw that on zt it took me a while to realise that it wasnt eyeliners.

she should smash the hood down so it sits flush with the headlight tops.

Oh man, in my senior year at highschool there was a guy with a black zenki like that, did the exact same thing, just put some kouki headlights in place of the zenki ones but tried to bondo around it. He musta done something wrong though cause the hood was all mangled by the headlight area. Next time i saw him he was staring at me in my car getting out of the school parking lot. He drove by and i see his whole back end caved in! Haha.

So true. People in other states respect the car enough to DO IT RIGHT!

People in socal just want it done fast and easy. And that usually ends up like, uhh well, just look at the picture above!

UGH.

Normally, I take Ryan's PSA's with a grain of salt, but this one, damn.

What's wrong with the Zenki front end? If you want a Kouki, but the WHOLE DAMN CAR.

i think there might be at least 6 or 7 240s in the entire state of north dakota, i think the closest theres people that recognize the car is in the twin cities, other than that theres people here at school from out of state that know it

oh and only one of those 240s isnt pretty much stock to my knowledge, so i suppose your statement holds true from that standpoint...however i have seen a couple disrespected back in new york

I saw a Fastback with an SiR sticker on the back at school I guess car disrespection (if thats even a word) is universal. Sadness.Conversions are alright sometimes, but just not like that...

Am i the only one that kind of dig it? i don't know, must be the ricer w/in me. If he ditched the badge and polished the yellowish corners to their original transperency, I could see it working quite nice...

Oh wow... I've been looking at this picture so many times and just now I saw it haha. It looks like he has eyelids in that picture! It doesn't really look like its just a big gap between the top of the headlight and the hood, it just looks like he has black eyelids!

Don't even get me started on Orlando, even if your in the city for 5 fricken minutes you will see the most riced out piece of crap. I always have a joke about as soon as you get off the Beeline onto University Blvd in the first 5 minutes, you will see rice, sadly the statement has never failed.

come to think of it. I was initially going to put a GTR badge on my 4dr 5speed civic when I first got it. Oh how much have changed in 4 years. You live, learn, grow up, and get sensible. Well that's how it's supposed to be.

At first it didn't look that bad because I thought he put eyelid thing covers on them but now it just looks weird with the zenki bumber and everything. It disrespectfull towards zenkis but in the end I can dig it because it still an SE 240sx.
