ewwww kenchan...front license plate :barf: ;)

anywho...i installed my 15mm spacers with 60mm nismo lugs! (excuse the dirty car..got caught in a drizzle the other day :mad:) rear is pretty much perfectly flush. however the front could go for another 5mm or so, but i forsee lots of rubbing if i went bigger in the front. all in all im thoroughly satisfied and it didnt take that long to do with an impact wrench either!

Saw the most amazing thing on the way out: you know those thingies with the sponge on one side, squeegee on the other that are used for cleaning bug and bird detritus off your windshield? This lady was scraping the squeegee Thimbu across the ROOF of her Accord! WTH????:ugh2::wtf2:

Yikes! :D. Even on glass I don't use that thing.

So opened up the hood damper kit and cleaned up the brackets so the edges are perfectly straight, corners are perfectly 90 degrees. :p. Will hit it with some primer and spray it matte black. :)

After taking this pict I noticed the bracket was not sitting perfectly flat so put it in my vice and bent it to shape with my pliers.

Got up at 6 AM and was on the road at 6:07. I left my brewed tea at work and discovered I'd run out at home. Few are up at that hour so a new speed record was set. The two cars on the road both pulled over to let me by. I am off to a great Sunday and it's still early.:happydance:

Agreed, the road was clear between my apartment and Starbucks so VDC went off and the gas was hit. Even stock, this thing gets up pretty quick. Woke me up for sure.

Chops, your Nismo is looking amazing in profile!:tup:

Went motoring this am in the Z. :p. Was a nice drive. After the drive I put the car up on ramps again to add 2 more nuts and bolts to hold the splitter as the tape wasn't holding the piece as snug as I wanted.

Also painted the hood damper brackets matte black. I need to go to the artsy store again to pick up some gunmetal paint. Got a tiny blemish on the rear wheel... :(
