Don't have it done yet, that is just a list of what I'm going to get done in the future. When I get my next upgrade done I'll post pictures up for everyone.

Gotcha.

And for the record I think your modest drop looks great! Never liked the "moar low" scene or whatever... subtlety is good.

Here's the new sticker bombed fender (it's starting to grow on me) it's waaaay better than the old fender with the typical nissan rust on it... oh and I'm still in winter mode (been very lazy) gonna lower the coilovers all the way this weekend when I find the time.

Ya I hear ya. Not the best choice I've made but I don't mind it. I'm all into clean an not flashy (wheels for example) but figured I'd see how the sticker bomb turned out and if I don't like it can just buy a new fender and pay 200 to get it painted ( what I was quoted at multiple shops) the fender online is only like 30 bucks at least.

The car looks fine, good start on the mod list. A 3.5 with headers will be a huge upgrade in the power department

I think most cars look silly when lowered beyond a certain limit.

xtremepb0- I think the car looks pretty clean. Those wheels look a lot like the old MM Evo 5 wheels that all the cars used to rock. Please don't go any lower, and good luck with the axles!

Nice, glad you got rid of the sticker bomb. Looks trashy IMO. Looks so clean slammed on those wheels. Always wanted a set of mille EVO5's. keep it up!

If i were you I'd remove the pin stripe

Ya I'm not sure how I feel about going lower. I'd have to roll my fenders and my crossmember right now is only like 2 or so inches off the ground so we'll see. I went to Kemperle today and got my paint for my wheels! Will post up when I'm done with them in the booth. Gotta love working in a shop lol
