to date, appearance mods are as follows:
27% Tint
Anniversary edition taillights
VHT'd clear front and rear markers
Cleared and Painted headlights
VHT'd 3rd brake light
Weathertech rainguards
"sexima" badging
Nismo rim decals (rice, i know)

Looking forward to installing my MT frontlip, and hopefully lowering the car soon, but this is how it sits now...

Nice job! I was wondering how painted headlights looked on a kv3.

I've seen the Sexima thing before...somewhere...

Was going to go with SEXI MAMA lol, just for laughs. Keep up the great work!

I love the Sexima badge on it! such a creative idea. I am not 100% in love with the wheels, but wow...they are super clean. I have never been a 5th gen lover as much as a 4th gen, but i really like yours. Major props

Thanks for the good comments everyone!

Zeead - I have to take a ride in your car the next time we meet up (dont think im going to make it tonight) I want to do suspension, but i really dont want to sacrifice much ride quality... Gonna have to do alot of research before taking the plunge

Hey, I'm in the same boat as you and after researching, I'd say if you don't mind the saggy a$$ look, go with H&R's and if you want a even ride stance, go with the H-Techs. They're the two best riding springs. And I'd go with Illumina struts. Great looking car bro.

Aaron, definitely. I am trying to get the LTB 4-pt back (which definitely helps ride quality) and a RSB on soon. The car will be going to another org member for a lot of repairs. But if I had to choose over again, it would definitely be Eibach/Illuminas. The ride is sporty but the Illuminas can help between driving your mom (Setting 1) to driving on twisty but smooth roads (Setting 5). Everyone will say differently about the springs though.

Looks good. I tinted my 3rd brake light a few months ago. I didn't know if anyone else had done that. The next thing you ought to do is get rid of those OEM Craptenza's.

overall the car looks good. Happy to see you smoked the sidemarkers instead of the gay clears.

There are, however, three things that really need to go:

1. "SEXIMA" badging. Because even though a few people here might think that is witty, every person behind you in traffic is laughing at how your are.

2. Nismo decals on the wheels. Seriously.......do I have to explain why?

3. Tires. Potenza RE92s need to be taken off the car and sunk into the deepest part of the ocean, neve to be seen again. That is, if you value your life while driving in any kind of rain (and don't even THINK about snow..)

Otherwise, looks good

It only works for me...

To OP:
What kind of wheels have you been looking at btw to put on your car?
350Z rims look real hott since it's got a nice offset!

Im thinking of doing 6th gen SE wheels, but that wont come until after its lowered...

Yeah, i know the tires suck ***... Rain they suck, and they do nothing but spin at the track, they are getting low in tread so i plan on definately plan on getting new tires before snow flies

The badging is going to go away, some day... I really want to de-badge the car, nut the novelty hasnt worn off yet, so they will stay for now

Lets talk about stickers..... Isnt that a HUGE RedlineMax decal on your car?? Didnt they go out of business a LONG time ago???

your car looks clean man.... no doubt.

Does the SE badge just peel right off? do you have to clean away glue residue after you took it off or something? and how did you attach it again?

the badging is stuck on with 3M type adhesive tape, so there is quite a bit of residue to be cleaned off. i re attached it with some more 3M tape
