Very nice man, I would def paint the fangs black. It will look sick trust me. maybe plastidip them and see how you like it.

hehe, would be easy to mistake those with BBS

sfearl1 · 11-02-2011, 03:15 PM

how much heavier are the new wheels vs. the stock rays? is there any significant difference in handling?

TheGreatOne · 11-02-2011, 04:41 PM

Looking beautiful....went under quite the transformation recently

Question: those Evo R Sides, I just picked up the Shine Auto version in CF...to you feel it lowers the car much on the sides...or not really noticable? I'm hoping not that noticable lol

Again, looks beautiful, great job!

Haven't pushed the car, but I can feel that they are a little heavier. I think I weighed these in at a tad over 26lbs

But I didn't pick these wheels with any performance in mind. Thats why I'm probably going to keep the stocks

Thanks, but I live my fangs. I've had a front overlay for the fangs since I bought the car and could never put it on. I just like them too much. Now shaving the nissan emblem, yes. Sometime in the future

Thanks, the blades lose an inch tops to the overall ground clearance of the sides. The Shine auto version is a complete replacement sideskirt, isn't it? I didn't know they made just a side blade.

Thanks for the kind words

Still debating on coilovers to get the stance right...sigh. I would like the look, but I do enjoy the clearance I have now

sfearl1 · 11-03-2011, 02:09 AM

I think the drop you have now is good. Did you have to do any fender work to make those fit?

Boost_lee · 11-03-2011, 02:46 AM

Thanks, no fender work. With the +15 in the front, it rubbed the plastic fender liner only. Rears were fine. I thought they were a tad too aggressive for my ride height, so I took off the 5mm in the front and went down to a 20mm in the rear. If I go wider tire, I'll need to go down to a 15 mm or so. I think I'm running 2.6 camber in the rear

Setup looks sick!!

Boost_lee · 11-03-2011, 11:08 PM

thanks bud

ZForce · 11-04-2011, 12:51 AM

Setup is sick, and I agree you might want to consider black out on the fangs. Not sure on plastic dip though. Does it leave a rough finish? All the plastic dip's I have seen do not look that good ....but that is just my opinion or maybe I have not seen a good job.

Boost_lee · 11-16-2011, 01:46 AM

thanks, still considering the fangs.

Here is a composite pic from this sunday

That would be fine, I can use a black backdrop and it will work great. I'm curious how you had the flash set, I would love to try doing this with my car. Pm on its way
