Here are some updated pics of the grill. Kamski gave me a great idea and suggested a GTR logo. I like it better than Nismo cuz although Nismo is nice, GTR is more unique and has the look that I was seeking. I painted the "GT" part black chrome. What do ya think?
Yeah, the GTR emblem matches...but....not exactly a skyline is it...
I think you are taking away from the car, and the nismo emblem would be better suited. If you have to go with the smaller emblem, then I guess try a SE-R emblem....even then...I dunno man

My rims came with painted lip. The shop told me they were limited production rims since they normally came all black or all metal colored. I dunno if it was a line or not, but I always liked the black rim red lip look on either black or red cars. I'd like to see these photoshopped on ur car.

Agree, it would have thrown off the matching colors when looking from the front...

Ok, after carefully reviewing my emblem choice, and the feedback received here, I have decided to buy a Nismo emblem. I will paint it black chrome except for the red "O" and put it on the grill and send u guys pics.

He just got an Ark exhaust, a shorty antenna, and an interior piece. Next on the list is Progress springs and rear sway bar. He may also put on my old bronze rims. I am looking into an OEM roof spoiler that is sold in Austria for his car as well. Here is a pic:

I painted some items red to match the red trim. I painted the battery post cover, oil cap, and oil dipstick. Also note that I opened up the OEM air scoop in the front. The drivers side is blocked for some reason, so I cut it open to allow more air flow to the filter.
