I went out today and took some pictures of the car. About a week ago I got pretty much everything finished up. The front end is all painted and cleared, AC is connect and working, and i got my momo pedal kit that i got for christmas on. Put on the camber plates from my clip, and had to extend the battery bracket due to the s15 lights. Only thing left is the black trim line at the bottom of the fender, i need to mask that stuff off and spray it black. Anyway, Check it out. Let me know what you think.

I ended up using the SR compressor, and combined the line from the SR with the KA. The problem with doing this is the difference in sizing.

Last one.

I'll be ordering a front lip here within a week, I would like to match that up with some sides and a rear valence. But, if i do that with the stock wheels its going to look even weirder then it does now. So, Wheels are on the list with all that stuff as far as exterior goes. A FMIC may come before those though.

Oh yeah, also definately thinking about buying a hole-less hatch and throwing that on to get rid of the spoiler. I took it off for a few days and liked it a lot more.

Also, it's rolling on springs and AGX's right now. I think i'm going to roll those for as long as i can. I still have yet to do enough research on how much that will effect the wheel sizes i can tolerate.

Paint that metal you can see through the bumper...should be flat black, it should disappear.

nice...I can see where the paint stops at the fender and the rest of the car. I thought you would painted the lower portion of the car...where its flat black (or gray). I wouldn't mind giving you my trunklid...but your not local and you probably wouldn't like the fact that its not red.

so you have working A/C?

As i mentioned in the first post, I have yet to spray the trim line at the bottom black to match the rest.

And the AC works great, blows cold ~40 degrees or so...

car looks great, i would recommend getting rid of that wing though, it doesnt really flow with the front at all.

Either get rid of it, or put on a Silvia K rear spoiler :drool: The car is drop dead sexy. :wackit:

The fenders are SWAAT... I got them through SpeedAlliance.

The pedals are momo superturismo's.

Here's a picture without the spoiler, im liking it more, but if i get rid of it i have to either fill the holes or get a new trunk lid. Does the K style wing bolt to factory holes?

Very, very, nice. I think that's the best looking Strawberry Face convo I've ever seen. It really does look so much better on an S14.

Not without a lot of hours in them.. A lot of trimming, adding and micro-fiber to fill pinholes..

As for the power upgrades, I plan to get a front mount next, and after that probaly a turbo and manifold. Which will probaly mean FPR or injectors and something to control fuel electronically.

For the wheels, Right now Im thinking 17x9 +30 in the back and im not sure what to run offset wise in front, I would kinda like to run 9 all around, but i may go 8 and just do that.

why not 17x10 and 17x9? it would look pretty damn hot

just have a friend or a welder weld your trunk holes shut and have it sprayed. My friend did my trunk in less than a half hour ...

Nice car by the way... I have those "Swaat" fendres by SpeedAlliance. They are really nice but I do agree that you have to put in a few hours of work to make them perfect. They fit perfect but i had issues with the lines of the car and the part where it meets the a-pillar .. nothing a few beers and a dremel wont fix

I have access to a welder, and have thought about the idea. I think if i was going to put in the body work and repaint it I might as well shave the 3rd brake light while Im at it.

seems like most of u guys had problems with the Apiller...truthfully i didnt have this problem. the problem is the gap where the fender meets the door. the apiller was fine with me and the headlight area too

fenders line up with my hood PERFECT
