Ill start off by giving my thanks to the forum for all the help I've received in the past year or so I've been on here. As some of you may know I used to have a 5th gen but it was totaled.

I bought a pearl 5.5 gen back in July and I want to show everyone what's up with it.

Here is after 350z rims and before the drop:

Decided I'd add some eyelids:

After the drop and stillen lip:

And finally yesterday after some changes:

Thoughts, opinions good or bad, comments welcome!

 

Yummy

you need to paint the rear lip black...

I'm copying your style basically

 

Window tint and the theme is complete! Glad to see everything came together. I remember when the car was hit.

 

The car looks great, but the black side skirts make the car look like it was an unfinished repair job. I would make them white again in addition to the side markers. They looked better white too.

 

Thanks for the opinions guys!

 

I agree with TallTom. The black lip and skirts make the car look unfinished. It almost makes them disappear visually. Great looking car though. Just need to paint those babies.

 

THIS. Make them match the car, look five times better. Same with the lips...paint them white to match


Add about a 20 or 30% tint, and that baby's done!

 

Can mods move this to members rides please?

 

That looks really good.

 

Thanks moncef... When are you gonna get that car sold man?

 

Sold already.

 

Oh nice, I guess I haven't been paying close enough attention

 

nice new max bro!

i also smashed my gray '00 5speed a few months ago. i feel your pain, it was my first car too.

just bought a new black on black 5.5 gen 6sp as a replacement yesterday, and DAMN this thing is mint.

I'll post pics of mine once I get it tinted next week

I agree with the other guys, tint the windows to 20%, make the lips white, and put the white side markers back on. done.

 

So the general consensus is: white side markers, lip, skirts, rims, and darker tint = success?

 

Man, sick **** ride buddy. I LOVE that pearl color. That was my ideal color but I had to settle for black because I couldn't find one anywhere in Hawaii.

Trade? I'm loaded with only 63k!

 

Thanks Tex, those are low miles! I love my pearl too

 

I like it, but like people stated above you need to paint the body kit pieces white.

 

I like the black pieces. It adds a bit of spunk to it IMO.

 

Awesome choice in color! We need to do a photoshoot together. PM me your number.

 

^
are those enkei rpf1?

 

Yes, 17x8.5 +40

 

^
:d

Saw one at school today as well

 

Not sure where you are asking me to look

 

Ummmm......yea.....

 

SORRYZ

I need to fix my dashcam but that blue civic had ENKEI RPF1 rims





I got enkei rpf1 as well

 

Update: Sidemarkers and skirts are now white and front lip is going to be soon... Will post pics when done.

Also, if anyone would like to donate to my rear lip fund please pm me

 

My next question. Why do you have a dash cam?

 

I get to record odd things and in case I get into accident

 

I would honestly get everything painted at one time, it will save you money since the pearl paint isn't cheap.

 

Its plastidip lol

 

looks good, car needs to go way lower than that though. What are you dropped on?

 

Megan racing springs... Its lower than it looks

 

Looking good man!...moving up quick.

I liked the wheels before plastidip, the off color white sticks out for me.

 

Nice... 6mt?

 

Unfortunately, no :'(

 

Btw....

 

looks much better

 

So is the kit the pearl or the flat white? I can't really tell.


I agree.

 

Don't like the two different white colors so much, I would personally lower more to make it look more even and have the tire on a very small tuck. Other then that going the right direction bud looks good.

 

Looks better.
