Project: 240SX...Commence!

[Road Pirate]

Thanks guys!
I probably will run a front plate till I go boosted, then I'll cut out the license plate portion lol.
And yeah, just a test fit. I'm hoping to have the bumper painted this week!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? No paint? Wtf is this shïť?

^ Don't tease us you fool!

^lmao

Here's a few updates from today:

Got my Godspeed tension rods in today. I know, not the best quality, but they'll do for now till I can source some Cusco ones!

Momo hub! I've never owned a Momo hub, but I must say, it's awesome quality. Definitely worth the price!

GKTech Ganador replica mirrors (I know, replica...BOOOO!!!)

Some of you may call me a ricer for getting these, but to be completely honest, these mirrors reminded me of cheapo M3 knockoff mirrors, which I HATE. But, pair Ganadors with OE type X aero, and they just fit in! The real Ganadors are around 500$ new, which I refuse to spend. I got these which are amazing quality for around 100$ from Australia. I'll have pics up shortly

EDIT: For good measure, here's a 180SX with those mirrors.

Damn this things gonna be sick, keep us updated bro

 

[Road Pirate]

Thanks man
Well got my steering wheel installed along with my mirrors...looks pretty good! Not a fan of the red, but hell, it was free

 

[pmac193]

Damn, you got me wanting to pick up a momo hub and monte carlo wheel now haha.

^haha
Here's my attempt at spray painting my bumper...came out great, but the paint doesnt match. It will get painted in a booth soon, I just dont have the funds for awhile, so I had to do something! haha.

 

[Synyster024]

when you get is sprayed in a booth are you going to smooth out the indent where the nissan logo would go? or are your going to throw a logo on there? or just leave it how it is.

looks good man, im jelly

I actually threw a nissan emblem on there right after i took the picture haha. I'll be buying another one to replace it though

looks good man, im jelly

Thanks!

Here's a little better picture, you can tell it doesnt match, but I'm not too worried about it, looks MUCH better

 

[TigBitties]

the color is pretty damn close for out of a can

 

[Road Pirate]

Yeah, if you look at the bumper extensions, those almost match perfect. That was a different color white which I didnt think was going to match, but it basically does lol. I might redo the bumper in that color if I get enough time lol

 

[Road Pirate]

Allllrighty! Sorry for the updates..

Random pic from today:

Then I received my side skirts!!! wooooo!!!

Crappy mock up picture...now I NEED wheels! lol

But, feels good to finally own every piece of my dream 180SX aero. Actually I take that back, I still need the front lip, but that will come later. My car is begging for wheels and properly painted to match pieces

 

[mymmeryloss]

Coming along nicely!

I don't like the sideskirts at all. Yes they flow, but they look like an overkill for me


Each to his own.

Well I suppose to each his own, but I love them. Obviously once I get wheels and it all paint matched, it will look better.

Here's some pics after the install

Here's an example...it will definitely look better with wheels

 

[Synyster024]

[00_Civic_Si]

lol, well not everyone likes these cars, but again, it's still a stock 240 with some OEM aero and a new build, give it time, you may learn to like it.
