Looks good, man :tup:

Glad you found yourself a S-tune exhaust -- I really love it too :D

well stock is what i was when i bought the car, but I enjoy when a manufacturer offers quality options more often than I like aftermarket stuff. And "better parts" is purely perspective. What I have fits what I wanted "better" than anything else I looked at or have had.
The red tubes would have been too much, IMO, and yeah, the Nismo exhaust Im in love with, opened up the top end a bit and really kept the low end back pressure nicely. Plus I love the sound!

:tup: thanks buddy!

"Better parts" isn't purely perspective. A lot of aftermarket parts are designed with greater efficiency in mind. They replace parts which are made under the constraints of a very tight design and production budget with parts designed purely, and often without compromise, to serve a function. There are definitely low quality aftermarket parts out there, but if you do your research you will find that there are definitely many options that are much better than factory pieces.

Again, "better" is in every way a perspective. From MY perspective, "better" means it achieves a purpose that another part from another company can not. I don't know how much clearer I can get. It may not be "better" in your eyes, but that is solely your perspective in things. You can get into an analytical breakdown of quality and effectiveness if you want, but I dont, thats not my game here. My game is to simply enjoy the car and leave the forum battles to someone else.

edit: back on topic, the kick plates look great at night, as does the GTR start button!

Pretty!!!

very cool! its your car, build it the way you like it....... just build it.

Everything looks good. I'm interested in details on your floor if you don't mind shooting me a PM. Thanks!

check pm

thanks guys!

How much did that Nismo engine cover set you back?

You need spacers now!

I dont remember exactly, you can check out thenismoshop.com, that is where i got it from.

Ive been tossing around the idea of spacers, maybe just some 5's, but IDK, we'll see how bored I get in the near future!

Holy crap, $230?!?!
Glad I went the rattlecan route.

5mm spacers would definitely be a demonstration of subtlety.

looks classic, and pure...love it....stock air filters?

yeah i know $$, but i wanted oem, im not fond of spray paint personally. 5mm spaces would definitely be subtle, almost not worth it, but then again, I had 5mm's on my rsx and it really helped... so we'll see.
Thanks! Ive got K&N filters, there a very nice addition, i'd highly recommend them.

You have inspired me to finish my garage facelift. Looks good! Is that the interlocking flooring?
