Time for a exterior upgrade... opinions needed:

Ok... so I've come along some extra cash... and I feel the car needs some work exterior wise... first.

I have a 95 SE Pearl White:

Now... I have a tan interior...

Ok so I'm gonna stick with the 95-96 front end for now... I like the way Dubbya sports the look with the grille inserts... and someone on the org placed a bigger nissan emblem in the front... it looked hella tight on the 95's... so this is the option I'm going for... I need some advice and some photos would help make my decesion easier.

Option 1:

Ionicdynamics Aero Kit (Carbon Fiber)
Carbon Fiber Hood
Carbon Fiber Trunk
Gen II Altezzas

Option 2:
IonicDynamic Aero Kit (CF lip Only)
Carbon Fiber Hood
Carbon Fiber Trunk
Red/Clears

Option 3:
IonicDynamics Aero Kit (body Color)
Carbon Fiber Hood
Carbon Fiber Trunk
Red/Clears

What paint should I paint the car... Original Pearl White... or the Cadillac Pearl white? This is no crapshop paint job... its gonna be good money spent... but I not sure if it will go with the Carbon Fiber.


The Car will be sporting some black 5zigen Rims, I'm getting the crystal clear headlights and sidemarkers..., and also the black grille inserts from grille-tech.com I'm not keepin the fogs... placing the tranny cooler and the oil cooler in those areas... well tell me what you think.. I will be posting pics asap...

I'd go with 3. CF kits look funny in my opinion.

How about CF hood, CF kit, stock trunk, smoked red/clears, i think that would look the best. And get the cadillac paint, i'll be original. Make sure your windows are tinted as well!

Car has 30% tinted windows all around... I honestly dont like the way the projectors look on our cars... I would def. get some H.I.D's. Reason for all the CF is well because initally I will be dropping in a 3.5 and I want to take off as much weight as I can, I'm gonna go with the original nissan pearl white.. I think the iridescent caddillac white wouldnt go with the CF. Anyhow.. I will be taking pics soon... the car will go in the shop next week... and parts will be order this weekend... as far the smoked tails.. where do I find them... or are those a DIY mod?

They could be a DIY mod, but i think ebay has them. To save some cash, take tails apart, buy nightshades paint, and spray the reflectors. I took the easier way out and just took the reflectors out and sprayed the housing, thats called DTM. I think it looks good personally, especially on light cars.
