you definitely need to work on that drifting hahaha

That exhaust sounds alot better than I expected it too. Doesn't sound so good at idle and low rpms, but it sounds sweet when you climb up

Or trade for my K's bumper +cash.

Or I could give crap tons of audio equipment

I'm trying anything here..... I've been looking for a good shape, reasonable priced aero bumper for 3 years now.
Honestly Broadfield the thought had crossed my mind... I would be honored to be the first to sell you a long awaited OEM AERO Front Bumper. I just cant part with it though. I found a great Hatch but the front isnt great and i dont want to waste a rare oem bumper.

I will keep you in mind if i go type x.

If you go to a paint shop they will pre mix REAL paint for you in a rattle can for like $20. Your car is very nice. I would just like to see the bumper fixed.

Looks like u have a good starting base, time to save up some money and do the car justice by swapping something in there and getting some better fitting wheels

but on a side note, cut those damn zip ties and repaint zee bumper

i liked the pink for awhile but its just too damn obnoxious with all 4 wheels are like that, when i either weld my diff or get a vlsd ill rock some pink ones on the back but that will be my limit.

maaco said the would paint my bumper for 200 -_-its not just the factory white, its Cadillac pearl white

and why does everyone hate meh zip ties! lol

definitely looks better with the z33 wheels. nice car, man.

side note...you do know the harness that needs to be tucked in the front fender is not the engine harness and has nothing to do with it being an sr or ka, right?

Pink wheels in my area are over played after a friend did it 4 years ago.... With actual chrome Pink Jlines on his Mr2...

Keep the Z33 wheels on!

Once you get aggressive aero get some 370z rims
