Cool! What was the original fog light you had in mind? Hopefully there are variations in size that would be accommodated by the side openings and still look clean.

and if you want to get specific that is a USDM kouki 240sx with JDM front bumper and JDM rear wing, and JDM side skirts, with g35 18" wheels and 300zx brake convertion, and no front grill, and of logically its also turbo charged. To me koukis are some of the best looking cars that nissan has made (thats why I own one) and were not that popular when they came out. for the last year they were produced in the states (1998) they only made about 2200 so good luck finding one in good condition

Wow, that is my first look at one. I never really heard of them before. I've seen ordinary 240's before. I love it, and I agree it is HOT!!! Is the car in that picture your car???

Believe me. I know. I've been looking for one in good condition for ever. If I could even just get my hands on a zenki. The engine swap possibilities are endless. My uncle is currently working on a customer's LS1 S13. It ran in the 11s on street tires before nitrous and tune.

Thanks, with a 1.8" drop and 18s you still should be sitting at around 4.3 to 4.6" off the ground, which is bearable.

Im expecting updated pictures tomorrow, cant wait

Sorry guys, I have been trying to get update pictures, but so far no luck, looks like this guys just took on too many projects at once (the body work guys), and now they just cant deliver the goods , last I heard (today, about an hour ago), is that I will have pictures tomorrow morning.

this is all I got today guys , not much really, they just glassed over the bumper, the next step will be cutting it and bringing it up 1.25" to resolve the height issue.

FINALLY A REAL UPDATE!

This first two pictures show the difference in height between the front the the front bumper and the rear of the front bumper, we had to do this to keep a good drivable height when the car gets lowered, and to make the sides match the height of the front.

MAX2DAMAX,

Question, I'm still using stock rims and tires, what kind of height will i get from the front bumper ?
Is it the same height you show in your pictures, 6 1/2 inches ?
