I like how you hide the front plate, but not the rear plate

either way, it doenst matter... no need to block either one
you drive the car daily without blocking the plates

well i was thinking of putting overlays on the headlights or painting them with a smoked black color, i have also been looking into the cattman catback exaust and i also am in the process of changing out my head units and installing a dvd nav system that will go along nicely with my 12" MTX subs...so hopefully that will keep me busy...oo and i think this bug is going newhere! thanx for feedback

well i got the spoiler from ebay from a user named autowingandspoilerking and the best part is its only like 130 painted and shipped, and its easy as hell to install, once you get passed the idea of putting decent sized wholes in ur trunk (i almost cried wen i was drilling) its crazy simple...couldnt be happier wit it. here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...1%7C240%3A1318

thanks...it sounds like a good idea, this may sound a bit dumb but im not 100% positive on wat to do, i think i heard once that running a piece of fishing line or thread behind it will pull it right off cuz its glued right?...but will the glue come right off or will it need to be cleaned with some special solvent?

Heat it up first (heat gun works best) with a hairdryer. Then use the floss to take badge off. The pretty much just gotta pick at crap left over (I used my thumb nail). Once the bigger crap gets off use the goo gone or goofoff and let it sit for a couple seconds and use wither a paper towel (or finger nail again). Once you get just about everything off then you will see a paint difference and some small specks left over. A good waxing and use of a clay bar will take care of it.

What he said. The first thing I did when I bought my car was to remove the fugly badges. Next was tinting the windows.

That's a moon roof. Doesn't open, but I like the look.

+1 on the CAI, Always did like that style of spoiler.

Grill looks great, I am thinking of switching mine out to one like you have there. Was it expensive?

Tails - I could go either way I guess.

yea i think the moonroof is so unique, i think it is a very innovative look nissan created for the car...and the grill was one of those ebay grills and it was only around $130-$140 shipped but the only downfall was that it shipped from china so it took fooorrreeeevvvveeeerrrrr to come

I got it on ebay last week for 129.00 + 40 for shipping, which pissed me off because they were like 100 bucks a little while back. The dude selling those grilles keeps trying to raise prices. There were two sellers on Ebay. I think one of them was even selling for 139.00. supply and demand I guess.

You should definitely paint your headlights and buy the cattman headers and y-pipe

this is the grill, but its not an actual Nismo grill, i just bought a Nismo tag (for like $30) and just put it on...when i bought it like a month or two ago it was a lil cheaper, but not much less than now, good luck
