side shot?

and yesits time

[silviasliderNJ]

does that work

[tramp_drift240]

definitely time. and also time to color match the rear valances or something, the front end being black isnt that odd, but the random blotch of black behind the wheels is kinda throwin me off.

very nice lookin' though. get them babies tucked a little bit and ill be skeetin' AWL DAI.

[silviasliderNJ]

Yeah once i get the car running then it going for paint...It needs to be one color again or maybe two tone.

[silviasliderNJ]

I have been looking into getting an eastwood fender roller? Good Idea?

[E7-S14]

wheels look GOOD!

[sr20power]

Clean looking coupe, definitely time for a roll/pull. But from the looks of it, its going to be quite a pull for the rears...? Do you have RUCA's..? If you have the $'s for a fender roller then by all means go that route, but there are some people on this site that rent the fender rolls out, hopefully there are in your neck of the woods.

i noyiced you have the light up window shades. badass.

[keith0486]

deffunutly need a roll and a pull.

but i also think u need to lower the rear end a little bit more also just putting in my 2 cents

Light up window shades? Im lost....

[n1smodr1ft]

you should match the rest of the car to the front bumper! two tone ftw!! nice wheel choice

[silviasliderNJ]

Light up ( Silvia ) Side window shades. look at the side windows

keith0486 yeah i know tha *** end of the car sits a little higher... Once then fenders get rolled an pulled ill have is lowered alot more...

[Topless_92]

Tire specs?

[moulton712]

yes, what tires are you running?

your car has a very nice set up.

i like the fact your car is sitting up before you roll and pull your fenders. the fact that you won't rub your new rubber.

i just bought the east wood fender roller. i have yet to use it, since it is still cold up here. i will let everyone know how it goes before i use it. by the looks of the roller, you'd be able to level out the car like you want to.

DO IT!

And be sure to post pics!

[silviasliderNJ]

the tires are 225-45-17 i think the wheels are Elite's 17x9 +15

[white90esex]

man, I was deffinetly considering these for my car. They are pretty decent priced and sized for 4 lug.

Looks good man. Whats up with the front bumper fitment?

Quick tip for when/if you get a fender roller and do it yourself.

1. Use a heat gun to make it easier to pull the actual metal out, but also makes the paint more elastic and less likely to crack or peel2. Go slowly, pulling only a little at a time in the rear to prevent caving in the quarter panel.3. keep the tire/wheel close keep putting it on and off to make sure you dont pull to far. It looks dumb when you do. (see my sig lol)4. take your time5. Make sure that all debris on top of the fender lip inside the wheel well is removed, believe me it can and will stick there, and it will ruin your fender.6. TAKE YOUR TIME the more careful you are the better your results will be.

are you running spacers in the rears? it seems strange that the rears would stick out more than the fronts with the same specs.

or are silvia fenders just wider than regular 240sx fenders?

[EazyBreazy]

the front of the car is a small amount narrower than the rear. was the same on my car

[musashin]

the front of the car is a small amount narrower than the rear. was the same on my car

exactly. so if the front is narrower, shouldnt wheels of the same size and offset all the way around stick out more in the front? his stick out more in the back.

[idahotuner]

hey sweet.

my elite weels will be here i na few mins. i onlly rolled my fenders, not planing on a pull. i kinda like the hot rod look of them sticking out past the side. in the back. the front i should be able t osqueeze under cause i am runnigna narrower tires and goign have alot of camber.

[idahotuner]

the back is wider so they stick out more in the back..

[musashin]

im still not getting it, apparently.

say a wheel that is the same size front and back, with tires the same size front and back.the front of the car is narrower than the back, which leaves less room under the fenders for the wheels. therefore, the wheels stick out more in the front.

am i still missing something?

[Kalypso]

very nice stance... thats how it should be.

email me at [email protected] if you know where I can get an aero bumper like yours.

your exhaust is really snug, i cant get quite that close to the ground.

[silviasliderNJ]

i just threw the bumper on, I didnt put the little bolt on from the fender to the bumper. I have been take in on an off way to much think i might get rid of the bumper to go with a q's bumper an carbon lip

the wheel base is narrower. in the front then the back

and wider in the back that is why the wheels stick out more.

[tramp_drift240]

but also the front fenders are kinda flared from the factory. not like FLARED, but they do come out noticably. the back is more of a straight drop.
