...and boy does it feel great. DUAL PROJECTOR FTW!!!!!



I swear without fenders and bumper, the car looks like a space ship



Bumer support gone

The new fenders are so flared out lol, not only that, they are in prefect condition. they have no dents or rust or anything

Fenders on

Bumper on

Duals FOR THE WIN!!

I acutally had to drive like this for 15 miles lol because the hood was at another friends house.

All done. The only thing i hate is that the hood looks like poo poo. I plan on painting it after i get the rest of my panels.

But for the time being, Im thinking of either flat blacking it all the whole car or roll painting it all gloss white

Looks good. I'd say gloss white on it. Far too many flat black 240's in the world.

BTW, are you going to NICOfest VIR in October?

neato completo, too many sil-front verts now, I gotta step up my sil-front to be even more diff, haha.

anyway, is this car being daily driven - don't you find it a little unsafe/scary to be running w/o a front bumper support?

If you can't find a silvia support, you know you can trim the stock usdm to fit w/ the silvia bumper rite?

I have to agree; I cut my existing support to fit. It just scared me not to.

Car looks great! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine

Looking good... I remember that day. There were hardly any SilVert out there then. I just finished the ghetto paint job on mine this weekend. I did the "Half baked" paint job for a couple of years. Finally got the guts to break out the spray guns and started painting a few weeks ago. My fenders and hood weren't perfect so I opted for the "satin look". I got some Dupli-color paint and put on about 1 1/2 gallons of it. Depends on your panels and if you plan on doing the paint yourself. If you plan on going flat all the way and your white paint is in good shape..you could probably just sand the clear down and flat black it yourself. If you go gloss you would be best off taking everything back and prep it right off the car. I would even paint it white once off the car and then put everything back and spray it again and try to blend it to other panels. You could always to a Maaco special too. I had a Maaco quote me 200 to paint it off the car. Looking good though. Nothin wrong with being "half baked"

I wasn't the only vert in VA with a silvia front end before I put mine on.

And I'm not going to bother with proxies at work. If I get caught, it's a quick way to get fired. And just so I can see some pics off of myspace and flikr? Not worth it to me.

The car looks good, RJ. You can buy clips for a late 80s Nissan hardbody grill to hold the GTR grill in place. I have a chinese knockoff grill, so I had to make the holes in the grill to attach the clips to.
