68937, A taste of the X (2 pics, NOT 56K FRIENDLY)
Posted by FlyinEsi, Mar-17-04 07:45 AM
Sittin' outside my apartment


Next to the Talon


Any comments/suggestions on what I should do to the car next, exterior wise, will be noted and considered.

What do you think about the mudflaps, keep 'em or lose 'em?

Yeah, it does hang low, but I only hit it if I'm going into a really steep entry driveway or something . . . as long as you go slow through the steep stuff it doesn't hurt anything. The sound makes it all worth it

sick gsx imo. I would get some 18's and drop it. If the mudflaps are easy to take off/put on, you should take them off and see if you like the look. Personally, I think the mudflaps give the 97-99 turbos w/ the hoop spoiler a sort of "beefy" look. I cannot explain it, but the car just looks longer and the tires look wider. I think it's just me though :)

Swap the front and rear clips of both cars. Make it a TSi AWD imo. I don't think Jeff will mind. (Then again, maybe he will. He tends to not like my ideas. LOL) :P

I was thinking the same thing . . . maybe not the CF hood . . . and I want to get a CF RMDSM lip.

To whomever asked what all is done to it, please refer to my help wanted post in the 4G63 section. :)

I kinda like the mudflaps too, give it kind of a cool look, what do you think Dino?

Oh yeah, the color on this car is not the same as the stock dark grey color. It used to be dark green, but it was repainted the same color as a stock 300ZX.
