thanks for the thumbs up guys, good feed back makes ya feel that much better about all the work ya put in. as far as all the questions it is a sarona front re-modeled i used 4 layers of fiberglass over the seam, sanded bondoed and sanded again. then painted with paintscrach.com paint. cost was probably about 70 bucks for the material and a few hours of work. i think thats about it. oh and Will thats what was stopping me from getting you pics so if its sunny out you'll get them tomorrow.

Car looks even better in person. Get some clear/reds and a type-2 spoiler and your car would be amazing.

No. You will get in when you get rid of those altezzas.

Everybody hates them but nobody can seem to give a reason why. If everyone started putting them on their cars, everyone else would just join the trend and do it too.

I don't like them because they make the car look cheap...

(there is a reason)

I don't care if everyone on this board did it - I never would.

If Nissan ever made them stock, I would probably go buy a used BMW or something, and never look back.

Makes the whole back of the car look like a cheap RC toy.

I don't even like the painted "Skyline" ones.

Of course, this is all personal preference, but does seem to be the opinion of a large amount (I'm not saying majority, just large amount) of people on this board. But that doesn't matter to me anyway - they just suck in MY opinion.

i liked them about 4 years ago when they first showed up on the IS300/Altezza. now that everybody and their mom has them, it'll be just like all clears and big supra style wings. it'll go away.

back to the original post: do you have any worries about the bodykit seperating and cracking from the body?

can you make this again? if someone wanted you to like a real mold from yours for production or are you going to keep it original and be the only person w/it?

thanks for getting us back on track Romeo , im not worried that it will seperate but it could crack. there are 3 nuts on each side of the car that hold the bumper to the fender and i don't think that bumps could crack it cause the bolts hold it really good. but if i run the front into something like over a curb parking or a steep incline and hit the nose hard enought somethings gonna give, it could be that seam or it could be somewhere else, i've been driving with a lowered car for about 5 years and pretty much know what i can take at what speed but the chance is there. as far as production,i was talking to someone here on the org and had something set up to produce it and went as far as making a mold of the one i have on there and was more then halfway done sanding/bondo and keep hearing about one problem after another for a few months till the whole thing fell threw. and haven't heard about it since.
oh and just to add to the fight......
I have altezza's too
