Ya...I noticed that too...it might just be dusty...but other than that, the bodykit / window tint / wheels look pretty slick.

Red's nice, but if it were black or silver :bling::bling:

b300z, the Cherry Red Pearl is a beautiful color. Same color as my vert. That's a pretty slick looking car.

pearly whites, if you get the Xenon lights get hold of me and I'll show you how to wire them without using the relays, and where both high and low come on with the high-beam. Also with the jspec front fascia you will have to use a different socket on the front corners, the one that comes with it is single filament and you'll need a dual filament. TT net has a write up for using a ford socket, I couldn't find the one they used. I ended up using a chevy socket and only had to trim one small piece to fit. I've got the #'s at the house if you need them.
If you get a Jspec front fascia make sure it includes the grill and corner lights, some don't.

thanks guys...i cant wait to pick it up

he said 7000 when we met

yea thats just the picture

im planning on repainting the kit, hopefully the whole car
i think i will keep it this color too...maybe a bit darker

the kit and wing definately need to be repainted tho

those pictures do no justice for the rims...i didnt think they looked very appealing at all in these pictures, but they are sweet when i saw them on the car

he used to have 18's on it in the same rim...those probably were the shizzzzz

150k. Of course you still need to do the standard maintenance regularly.

I had that happen once when I was younger, but they brought home a puppy, not a Z.

Let's not revisit any of those 'tree-wrapping' threads that we had a while back.

Congrats on the new car. Don't drive her like you stole her,.....yet.

yea i was happy about the exhaust
saves me 750+tax and shipping

i just took pics today after it got washed, waxed, and swept so theyre coming

z-the nismo seats arent coming out
and in under 2 hours i was able to take out the short throw shifter from the old one and install it in the new one with no clue about how to do it...i was pretty happy
91 have you replaced yours yet?
z-did you do anything to the headlights, cuz i took the old bulbs out and put them in the new car and they dont look as blue
