K, I have an M-sport body kit, D-1 30mm front fenders and 50mm rear. I have a Carbon VIS hood and rear hatch. 18" Racing Hart C5's. The car is just about ready to paint. Though I haven't got my new motor mounts from McKinney yet so it won't be driven anytime soon. I was wondering what you thought of my color choice. House of Kolors Hot Pink pearl. Can someone photochop this for me? I am curious what the finished item will look like.

Here is a pic of the body kit.

Damn it! I just found this on ebay. It is in australia though, so I can still go with this color.

I think it's called Yoshio Factory. They did a spread in SS of a 240sx fastback they exported and converted.

I think you should go UPS Brown. I've thouht about doing it myself, but since I'm so far from being prepped for paint and the S13 white is probably one of the BEST shades out there (beaten ONLY by GM's fleet vehicles, haha) you can probably beat me to it.

opinion - your car sounds exactly like a million other cookie cutter drift poser wannabe cars. just go ahead with the pink idea and complete the package. make sure to save some money for a redtop sr, kouki taillights, and an s15 frontend.

Seeing as how he's waiting for his McKinney motor mounts, I'd think it's pretty safe to say he's going with an RB

doesn't really matter if its poser. most people pose anyway. as long as the car is down then that's all that matters. slammed to the point we cant even clear our finger, oversized wheels with xxx inches of polished lip that are forced to fit via neg camber that still rubs, japanese style aero. most of that stuff isn't necessary to track/race whatever but we do it anyway nothing really wrong with that.

trends are cool, adidas, chucks, you know we all copy that siet but its cool.

yashio factory is pretty down i dont know if anyone is down to do this...

In my opinion, one's car is one's car... Do what you want with your car, not what everyone else wants. If you want to drop an SR, do it, Drop and RB, do it, keep that KA, them do it... What looks good in your mind is what looks good to me... People with carbon copy Civics with super wide kits and sky high spoilers and stuff like that is ok with me... It is their car, not Mine so I don't cat care what it looks like, that's the way that person wants it. Not the way I want it... Go with your heart man.. Not our opinions, don't even go with my opinion, but just go with your heart and mind and you'll come out with an awesome car, in your opinion of course...

If the car is quick, I dont mind pink so much. I mean, I think all the Yashio cars are just sweet. Its obvious you want your car to be noticed though. If it was me, I kind of like the HOK kandy apple red and or the "blue by you" that comes on evo's.

the pink miata is a nice colored pink. the s13 up top looks like too ricey to me.

notice the miata is a darker less neon pink and doesn't burn ones retinas when looking directly at it.

Oh, It'll be plenty fast. I am going fo a min. whp of 450. I have plenty of goodies for by RB25 to get me there. And it won't be a poser, My Xb is for that.

And who ever said to paint it a Mustang color, get f****d! I hate mustangs! Every fat piece of dog crap that wants to go fast in my town drives a mustang. My goal is to embarass as many of them as I can. That is part of the reason for pink. How embarassing would that be to get whooped by a hot pink nissan?

And who ever said that the top car looked too ricey, what the hell? That is a JDM body kit from Japan. The originators of import high performance. Only for them its not an import. Without them you wouldn't have a nissan to drive.

So the only reason why you wouldn't consider a color is because it's similar to the color of a car you hate? And your only goal/reason for making this car pink is to embarrass them? Wow...

So just because a body kit is from Japan, it can't be rice? I'm sorry, but if something looks like crap, then it looks like crap, no matter what country it comes from.

And just so you know, Japan wasn't the originator of import high performance. That would be Italy, back in the 50's.

dude you wanted an opinion, i gave you mine......you didn't state you didn't wat colors that had to do with domestic cars.....i personally like the satin silver that comes in the 99-04 mustangs.

by that part of the post you sound like a ricer since you say you hate mustangs, and this is part of the why can't imports get along with domestics..its cause of people that think their car is better than anything.

Does any other niche of cars paint their cars pink? I can't imagine what people who don't know about Yashio factory would think.
