Did we do better on the second?

koeppelnissan · 01-29-2010, 04:55 PM

Followed some advice on the second try, let me know what you think!

Eibach lowering springs, white headlights with landing strip LEDs, interior LEDs, carbon fiber mirror caps with LED turn signals, yellow calipers, and 20" Lexani wheels (10" wide in rear)

ehh 2nd try for what? not feeling the wheels or the yellow caliper... but looks nice... i would have done no landing strip w/ a shaved headlight but to each their own...

SigPapa226 · 01-29-2010, 05:35 PM

Yellow calipers are fine, just not lovin the wheels.

m4a1mustang · 01-29-2010, 05:44 PM

Not big on the wheels. I think you should give us a price range next time and let us show you some options.

Lol there's nothing wrong with it. To each his own. But the majority of people on this board, are ethusiasts who are big on functionality vs. show.

Now if you're trying to build a car to lure in an ethusiast, then we can probably help out in that department.

I prefer the performance mods to cosmetics myself, but I'm selling cars in Jackson Heights, Queens NY. It's all about the show here. Most enthusiasts in NYC are working on cars a few years old, not new out of the box!

For your location I think it is perfect. More people in your area want the chrome and flash. I don't think you'll have it very long.

TipsZ · 01-29-2010, 06:55 PM

Looks nice. Needs some spacers though. Other than that it should sell soon.

Mike · 01-29-2010, 07:47 PM

Looks good, but you need me powdercoating your calipers

frost · 01-29-2010, 08:08 PM

I think it looks good fwiw. I have a white Z, and would probably go with a blue caliper because I feel it would compliment the white better. I actually like the rims, I wouldnt buy them because I would hate having to clean the rivet things, but they look nice

Agreed 100%. The modifications to the car is perfect for the area. Almost all modded cars in the area either has chrome rims or some other stuff to it(at least that's what I saw when I was there). It's an all show area and I think you've done a great job.

Thanks for the compliments! Hopefully it sells quick and then I may let Vinny Ten do a little something for the showroom! That'll be more performance oriented!

What's the drop? I like the mods!

Ah, I see.

So... could we see the next one with custom Adidas paint job, matching track suit, and a year's worth of Jagerbombs?

koeppelnissan · 01-30-2010, 07:07 PM

Here's a pic with the top up. We used an Eibach pro-kit. The car drove really nice, I was kinda surprised!
