Did we do better on the second?

koeppelnissan · 01-29-2010, 04:55 PM

Followed some advice on the second try, let me know what you think!

Eibach lowering springs, white headlights with landing strip LEDs, interior LEDs, carbon fiber mirror caps with LED turn signals, yellow calipers, and 20" Lexani wheels (10" wide in rear)

ehh 2nd try for what? not feeling the wheels or the yellow caliper... but looks nice... i would have done no landing strip w/ a shaved headlight but to each their own...

SigPapa226 · 01-29-2010, 05:35 PM

Yellow calipers are fine, just not lovin the wheels.

m4a1mustang · 01-29-2010, 05:44 PM

Not big on the wheels. I think you should give us a price range next time and let us show you some options.

Lol there's nothing wrong with it. To each his own. But the majority of people on this board, are ethusiasts who are big on functionality vs. show.

Now if you're trying to build a car to lure in an ethusiast, then we can probably help out in that department.

I prefer the performance mods to cosmetics myself, but I'm selling cars in Jackson Heights, Queens NY. It's all about the show here. Most enthusiasts in NYC are working on cars a few years old, not new out of the box!

Ah, I see.

So... could we see the next one with custom Adidas paint job, matching track suit, and a year's worth of Jagerbombs?

Here's a pic with the top up. We used an Eibach pro-kit. The car drove really nice, I was kinda surprised!

For your location I think it is perfect. More people in your area want the chrome and flash. I don't think you'll have it very long.

No, Definetly not chrome...
I live 30 minutes from that area and I do not see ugly z/g's like that.

Price is a bit extreme!

you've got to be kidding

it appeals to a segment of any locale I am sure - I am from their area, I'd never drive a car that looked that way, I have no customers who's cars look that way

people who buy a car like this off my floor won't usually visit a performance shop, you are correct. Not everyone is looking for performance, especially not in a spot where there is a stop light or stop sign on every corner.

PS there's a big difference between st james and jackson heights, I'm sure you realize.
