its still too high :( damn police

[keith6110]

damn that looks real good!

What about the police again? Something about they have nothing better to do? lol

[naughtika]

hey paulie, how you doing? didn't know you're in here too..

btw.. you know that you only need longer (same strength) bolts right? also with matching washers..

around 10mm longer at least.. then you'll need to fix up your rear guards..

[99galantES]

i love the wiper blade i was thinking of doing that shit

[unclepaulie]

wiper blade? huh?



anyway, update:


R33 skyline GTR rims with blue wheel nuts
projector headlights
white lettering
made myself up a catback exhaust
lowered the front a bit

cant think of anything else










also wrapped the b pillars in 3m di-noc as they were faded and i had some layin round the house



interior is gettin a makeover too

[mrg7243]

looks good, i like the idea of the 3m stuff it looks great, did you just do the pillars or all around the frame??

[qnz]

mmm. I liked the old wheels better. Is that a 6" round speaker in the rear? lol

[unclepaulie]

mmm. I liked the old wheels better. Is that a 6" round speaker in the rear? lol

yeah 6 or 6.5" lol, cant remeber, its refectling into the rear window. i cant put the oem covers on as the tweeter in the speakers sits too high.

i liked the design of the old rims, but they were kinda heavyish and only 18x8.5+35. might buy some rota g-force's in 18x9+30 soon


oh, and these are my daily rims, they get less attention from the coppers and are a bit more comfortable then 18s

looks good, i like the idea of the 3m stuff it looks great, did you just do the pillars or all around the frame??

i just wrapped the external part and left a few centimetres (maybe an 1.5 inches worth) to tuck around the back, like the back of the front door pillar and the front of the rear door pillar if you get me
