[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

"you stupid boy. you're going to work that off in the acid mines!"

[steve_o1989]

[Landers]

At first i didnt like but its growing on me nice work braaahhh:coolugh:

[DreamN]

I'm 60/40 on it. Either way :bigok:

[ThatGuy]

At first I didn't like it...

Still don't.

Color choice for a two-tone is :down:

[Full-Lock]

dont see this color combo on a 240sx everyday

at first i didnt like it, then i saw it with the wheels on and
i think it looks pretty nice. you need to go a lot lower though....a lot

[DownSouthSlider]

i think it looks pretty nice. you need to go a lot lower it....a lot

yea hopefully ill get coils after x-mas... its not the daily so its not top priority ya know! but yea the agx and tanabe springs are ok for now!

[louisdaboois]

yes sir. the choice of color isn't seen everyday, but sexy none the less.

[qwikspool]

nice job. its just a weird color. it will grow on me. great work.:bigok:

[240sx_sr20det]

Actually, I really like it. Lower it (alot) more, and it will be real sick. Nice work man!

[atutt]

Awkward colour scheme... But I think it looks awesome. Reminds me of an old ass race car scheme I saw a long time ago.

[Gjohnson7]

I think it looks hott! Like the color a lot.

[Dirty Habit]

Not a big fan of the color scheme at all.

But +1 for DIY.

[babowc]

silver off.
black roof
i believe it would look nicer that way? :)

[wannabe_drifter]

It is an unusual color especially for a two tone...
I was really surprised to see the blue, but I acutally think its pretty nice !
I love the wheels too !

[chibo]

My first thought was that it was ugly... then it quickly grew to thinking it looked damn good. :)

[CrimsonRockett]

Looks okay.

But, two things.

1. Lower it...A LOT.

2. Get some pink electrical tape.

:keke:

[bwake 5]

postive rep for diy

[NiZMo1o1]

looking really good homie.. you did your own paint job ? If so I need to holla at you to get my s14 painted !!

[Sonic Motor]

you shoulda got an aero bumper or a body kit bumper.

regular silvia bumper with pignose lip really doesnt match.

[Bobafreak]

looks nifty.

[SRpetey]

It looks pretty good but I would get rid of that white line.

[KwKouki]

its got a very vintage race car look to it now........fuck you Rodd I feel the same way about hating it first then growing to like it.

[hippo_chips]

Nice job on the DIY. But, OEM S13 two tones or Solid color for me. The blue and black is way too contrasting for the body lines of an S13. It's more of something you'd see on an early 80's car. This would go nice on an R30 skyline though. Couldn't find any blue R30s, so I chopped a red one.http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb306/HippoChips/R30HippoChipsChop.jpg

[Dustxking]

I think it looks sexy as he|| nice work. Father FTW!

[used240sxparts]

rodd is such a whore lol I told you this before and ill tell you again! YOUR DAD IS THE MAN!

-Eddie

[kidcrossover69]

nice work your dad did mad props for him and for your ride

[DownSouthSlider]

thanks for all the complements everyone! yes few things in the near future!

Coils,
rollcage,
areo front to match the sides,
and thats about it until its tome for motor swap! but thats until i can control the lil bit oh hps the KA has right now haha!

yea pops is old school so thats why we did the kinda stock lookin paint scheme!

[sijia10358]

wow! thats a nice fix!!! congrats
