Picked up my car in May 2015. 2012 Sport 6-speed. 15,000 on the odometer. $22,000 OTD

Didn't take long for me to start modding it. Few weeks in, I installed Stillen G3 intakes, Kinetix HFCs, and an AAM 3" cat-back system.

The stock exhaust system needed some gentle persuasion to come off.

Next came the radio (I love my music)

Then, during some boredom at work, I fitted a tablet into the driver sun visor which gives me data while driving.

Then I went on a Fast and Furious kick for a few months. Tore them off after not too long.

Next was tinting the tail lights red and getting new headlights

That winter, I did some modifications. Plasti dipped wheels, Swift springs, toe bolts, camber arms, fujimora diffuser, side blades, brakes and rear spats

Then came the interior. CFE steering wheel, shifter trim, and radio trim, suede on the top of the cluster with carbon on the middle gauge, Corbeau seats With Takata harnesses

It has been christened "Little Bastard" Just like James Dean's Porsche

Finally started working on the nismo bumper I miss it.

Getting some work done on the trim while it's being blasted. And shaving the nissan logo and replacing it with this emblem
