Today I randomly decided to put my front lip on. I also painted those gray bumber grills black. After that I washed my car, and took some nice pictures. My car is now 4 different colors. Comments welcome. For the whole writeup, see my cardomain site @ http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=294872 Thanks, Todd

Yeah, that eye has been black for over a year. It's almost become my trademark. My friends say they notice my car in oncoming traffic a mile away because of it. Once I get all my bodywork done, and the sides on and stuff, I might get it painted, if $$ permits.

Hey... I have matching primer gray Blitz sideskirts! Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to put them on myself, so I gotta wait till I go in for bodywork. The pedals are really nice, they are from racepedals.com, you can get them for cheaper if you tell him you are from 240sx.org, I think $49 or something.

Yeah if I knew it would have been that easy I would have done it earlier. Dinner was good, there were 4 SRs there, nice stuff, got jealous, then went home. S13Driver made a wrong turn and almost got in an accident going home. Next one will be a lot better assuming it wont be 40 degrees out.

yeah great lookign car man. ur not gonna mold anything are you. if not what are you talking bout "body work" some dents hopefully. cuz honestly all you need is some sideskirts and a rear add on and paint. lookign good though

btw u can get those pedals on ebay too, failry cheap

toddnappi

Yeah, if those pedals are coming up on ebay, they are the same price that he uses for the group buy off of 240sx.org.

If you saw the car in person, you could see that it needs some bodywork. I'm gonna get the front lip and Blitz sides molded on. I'm going to have the sidemarkers shaved along with both body lines and the antenna. There's also a dent in the back passenger from the previous owner. It will be sweet when it's done.

Thanks for the positive comments.

your car says two things:


"I'm a freaking badass 'vert,"


and


"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! I'M A PIRATE!" :D

dude...get some matching side skirts and a rear bumper...
then get some flat glass projectors instead of the flip ups. remove the rear spoiler and clean off the rear insignia

you will have the pimpest car on earth!


after you color match the body panels of course

maybe to a certain extent but i think they are mostly cosmetic.

haha, yeah i was a dumbass, saw right signal, glanced down look up saw left, look in rearview mirror, see u with right i go right, u go left then, haha...i almost come to a stop (definately not the smartest thing ive done...) guy comes up behind, i take off, drive a 20 min detour, get my bearings and then go home...fun times haha, i think i know that area well enough now though.

Very nice car man, that has got to be one of the nicest looking convertible 240's I ever seen. Yeah ARRRRRRRR matey haha.

Honestly though, I think the gray bodykit (unpainted) looks pretty cool. You could probably sport a nonpainted kit on the car and have it look pretty nice. For the headlights, you could paint the driver's side one white or get the passenger side one painted black to match the driver's side, it might look a little funny at first, but I think it would look pretty cool, kind of like the black mirrors on the white cars.

so, do you still have a light underneath the black cover with the vent?

The hood is MSports fiberglass vented hood. I ordered it from the infamous SKR Performance in Delran, NJ. It cost $500 + $100 for shipping, which took 5 months. Although it was a long time, it was well worth it.

I have unpainted gray Blitz sides, I will have them molded on within two months along with the rest of my bodywork. As of right now, I don't know when my paint is coming.

If anything else, I was thinking of getting those mold on fended flares. But I don't think it will happen.

Thanks for the comments, Todd
