First shots I took of the S30 when I brought her home :)

Overall she was in great shape. I have such a love and hate relationship with detailing cars and correcting paint. I wanted to see how well I could get her to shine up! You can really see the major difference in just half the hood with just a simple clay, cut, polish, and seal :)

Soon came the first set of modifications! I ordered a Xenon front air damn, powdercoated valve cover, and fender mirrors. I quickly knocked out the air dam and the valve cover. I'm holding off on the fender mirrors at the moment. I want to make sure I have the measurements correct for visibility. That way I can delete the only door mirror, which is on the drivers door.

I'm currently shopping around for a spoiler for the S30. There are quite a few to choose from and I'm deciding between carbon fiber, poly, or FG. The only reason CF is on the table is bc I may choose the CF ZG fender flares. Haven't quite made up my mind yet.

The Nismo is pretty set and there are only two cosmetic modifications I want to make, besides adding some vinyl in a few areas. Considering the options are extremely limited anyways. I lucked out and was able to score the fenders I wanted from Dom. So I've got his RS1 CF fenders on the way.

I also needed a license plate mount for the front tow hook and after looking over the options and reviews, I went with moweraxle. I spoke with Larry via email and he got me all setup.

She's a beaut! Definitely get that mirror situation sorted quickly, though. lol

Derek, those are two beautiful rides you've got buddy. Congratulations! The S30 is in amazing condition. I would rock that any day! I can't wait to see more changes to her.
