Great mod for the $$$. I love mine and they really made my Stillen CBE come alive. The hiss you get between 1800-2300 sounds kinda crappy but hey thats what ya get. Did your mechanic do the steel wool trick or are you getting no cel w/o it?

Drove in to work today, its a holiday here so the $20 parking underground across the street is only $7, woot! lol.

Its raining though, so not as enjoyable to drive

Also debating if I should take off my stock front emblem and replace it with this...think the black would look good on the quartz paint :confused:

I think that would look sweet instead of the regular "Nissan" emblem. :tup:

BTW where did you get that emblem?

Econ 06-24-2011 04:31 PM

Vinyl was damaged from the front bumper because of a hit, this happened while car was in a workshop so they in return offered to fix it with a FREE paint job which later turned into a full respray in a different shade. I actually dont like that much the stock red shade as tends to get darker in the evening. That was the reason to go for a vinyl.

The vinyl I had is not available in Dubai needs to be ordered from US, as I was no mood to invest further, paint job worked out cheaper for me.

Are you happy with the outcome? If so, I'm pleased for you! I'm guessing they are not paying for the full respray though?

Anyways, I'm glad to hear they are a stand up shop, and are taking care of it. :tup:

happytheman 06-25-2011 11:19 AM

@Ken - were you tempted to put some new wheels on too? DO IT!:stirthepot:

Not sure if I posted, what exactly happened was I left the car at this workshop for some suspension work, and when I came to pic it up after a day the front bumper had two cracks and number plate was a bit bended, the owner of the place also saw when I pointed that out. To fix that 3m wrap was supposed to be ordered and some fiberglass job was needed. Then they offered me a free respray and fixing rather then ordering a new bumper and vinyl roll from US which costs a bit more. They prefer to compensate by their labour rather then spending money on parts and shipping.

As a courtesy I bought some paint parts like clear coat cans etc. I am very happy with the outcome it hurts a bit that I couldnt keep the wrap for a bit longer as initial plan was to keep till end of the year but I am happy with the outcome.

I finally went for a ride today. I've been on vacation.

While crusing around I kept seeing Mitsubishi 3000's and Dodge Stealth's driving in packs. I decided to follow some of them and there must have been a meet at Sams club. There was over 50 cars there. Some were riced out but most were tastefully modded. I didn't have a lot of time so I just drove through.

Just made me want to go to a huge Z meet even more.

happytheman 06-25-2011 03:30 PM

Got my GTR button and Nismo Titanium shifter in the mailbox!:excited:

Installing tomorrow!
