Bored today, so..
I wound up taking some pictures of the freshly washed and waxed Max.
I'll just spam them all up, I guess. And yeah, it's just in my driveway.
EDIT: just for the hell of it, I thought I'd post a full mod list--everything I've done to the car (and everything about the car I guess). Here goes:
Z32TT wheels, flip flopped (rears in front and vice versa)
245/45ZR16 Toyo T1Rs up front
225/50ZR16 Bridgestone RE730s in back
Progress springs on Koni yellows
Pass. side Raxle
9007 conversion with xtravisions
Hella FF75 driving lights
Custom Enterprise projector-style fogs
Amber 1157s in corners
Rewired fogs--on with parking lights
Wheelskin, black leather with perforated sides (to match stock wheel)
Redlinegoods armrest cover and ebrake handle, black faux alcantara and black perforated leather
AE shift ****
Bose aux input mod with toggle switch and Belkin ipod adaptor with line out
PIAA Super Sporza silicone wipers, 22" black (with spoilars for teh downforces!!!111)
Amsoil GL-4 synthetic
Mobil 1 10W30 with Nissan OEM filter
Wetsanded + polished the headlights
A lot of blood, sweat, polish, wax, microfiber towels, and tears
165k miles
DP0 with tan interior
ABS, Auto climate
Gold package (SHUT UP)
A few long key marks which I will hopefully collect insurance money on
Slightly scraped undercairrage from those never-ending speedbumps
A bunch of pebble chips on the nose
Single small pit in the windshield
Split splash guard that I have yet to tackle
Disconnected the AC line and let some freon spray out to save weight
Special mod that makes the volume turn up no matter what I do to the ****

Looking very nice...I'm anxious to finally post some pics of my DP0...soon enough, within a month (planning a full detail: clay, polishing stages by PC, Klasse, LSP). It's going to shine...

Thanks guys, I really like the wheels as well, the fronts look pretty beefy.
I was considering AEing the headlights for awhile, and then I realized that if I did that I'd have to smoke everything else on the car to match. I think I'm going to go about doing that all at once at some point, with smoked cefiros and a bixenon retrofit.
And yeah, DP0s rock. I'm actually planning to get a PC really soon and going at it as well.

Just to give you something to look forward to when you get your PC. All I can say is this paint DRIPS when polished right (look at the first one). I'll be doing a click and brag soon...after exhaust and full detail...

So you have the Turbo Rears in the front?
Looks a bit odd with the way our rear wheels are tucked in naturally but it took me a second to see what was off. Thinking spacers in the rear at least?
I think if I ever did Z32 wheels it would have to be TT rears all the way around, but more than likely you picked them up for a steal so probably a moot point.

But yeah, that's the plan. The fronts stick out just a bit, and if I get rid of my negative camber it will be more noticeable, so I think I'm going to keep the camber... I'm not sure yet though. It also has to do with the fact that I don't really feel like shelling out for an alignment just yet...
Anyway I picked up a set of 1157As today, just for the hell of it:
They look more like the last one in person. I'm still not sure if I like it or not, or if I should try modding them to be brighter, or what.
P.S. Fr33way, I picked up the TT wheels for $150, including brand new tires on the fronts (had to drive 6 hours to get them though..)

I'll dig you up some high res...the next detail will happen in the next month at most, and I can't wait. All I need is a clay bar, and a good day or two, and I'll get to it.
Also, check out autopia.org for some detailing tips. Everyone there is helpful, and I checkit out everyday to look at the click and brag section.

After looking at some of your pics I started to see somethings that looked strikingly familiar. So, I decided to take a look at your mod list and it turns out you stole some of my ideas!
