Where's the new paint?

Yeah they're very expensive, but I got mine cheap, even brand new in box.
Paint was delayed a bit, was waiting for another body panel.

im lazy what are the specs of the rims? those look to be the only set i have seen that have had any kind of lip on them
Thanks!
The concaved RPF1's have a slight lip on them. The fronts are 17X9.5" +18, and the rears are 17X10 +18
damn they look bigger than 17s as far as i can see they dont make 19s do they???
Yeah they do, but they're about 450$ a pop haha.
Haha, needing paint sucks! Thanks man!
ThanksThose wheels look sexy
Ordered a 180SX lip finally! Took forever to track one down at a reasonable price, but got it on its way. Also got R33 N1 ducts. Should be pretty dope when I get them in
There for a second I thought u painted ur car green. I was gonna drive to the springs and punch u in the cocksucker!
Hah, nah didn't paint it.
Well, figured I'd update. I was planning on taking my car out to a little meet down in Pueblo, CO. Took off, and about halfway there I lost my brakes while going 75MPH. Yanked the ebrake, came to a stop. Turns out, the turbo melted the brake booster check valve. So, waited for hours for someone to bring me another, finally got turned around to head home, and all at once, I melted the replacement check valve, my exhaust came off of the downpipe so was dragging, and my slim fans caught fire. (my fault for not using an inline fuse..lesson learned)
My luck, right?
Either way, no real damage was dealt, but it does need some work to get back on the road. Unfortunately I just wasted a lot of that cash on a lip and ducts, so who knows when it will see the road again.

Well, it's almost winter anyway. Just build it bigger and better now!
Yup, it will be garaged till next spring so I can tear into it. I'm going for a different turbo setup, rear diffuser, new suspension arms, new coilovers, and probably new fenders
The daily got s**t on when it rained a bit. It rained for 2 days straight with HEAVY rain. Flooded lots of streets, including the interior of my car. Had a lot of electrical issues which ended up in me getting that car towed home. Had to tear apart the car and bake it in the sun for a full day. Works like a charm now though haha.
