Lower with swift springs / Camber arms?
Change Wheels?

Cg's on the new ride! Wheels are crap on it though. Why on earth would anyone get rid of Nismo wheels for those? No concave, no lip, flat face, they are cast, uglier and weigh more. Should find him and kick him right in the junk.

Thought the same about the wheels you should really focus on wheels before you do anything else to the car.

Dozier · 10-30-2013, 09:53 AM

Only problem with buying nice legit wheels like my old Work VS-XX is I daily this car, and the roads are rough. Damaged two wheels in the past. Worried about spending 3k and trashing wheels. I do like a nice deep lip though. Maybe I can find a cheap alternative to not worry so much about. Any ideas?

Get your wheels stolen and tell then you had Nismo wheels

Dozier · 10-30-2013, 12:06 PM

Lol. I'm a cop.

SS_Firehawk · 10-30-2013, 12:19 PM

Well, a set of Nismo wheels run 2-$2500 in classifieds. You can get work wheels for that price. You can get M310s and look good. Those are a lot cheaper. For a good compromise between the two, forgestar F14's are nice

Dozier · 10-30-2013, 12:39 PM

Yea..I am not really a concave wheel guy. I wonder how much I could sell my wheels for and buy some other wheels. There isn't one scratch on them. Pretty much brand new. Maybe 1k? I don't know the going rate for Nurburgrings used with tires.

Just submitted payment for fast intentions exhaust!

Dozier · 10-30-2013, 07:30 PM

Today I washed, and detailed inside, and outside along with under the hood. After a day of running errands with the wife, I got home and Plasti Dipped all the emblems and the door handles. I did the "Z" lights on the side of the car, then peeled off the dip from the lighted area. So it really just dipped the silver ring and the "Z" portion. I think it looks good. Opinions? Also thinking about doing the wheels all black tomorrow. I am looking for different wheels but for now I will black them out. Considering dipping the front lip black in the middle just under the center black piece to make it uniform and black to the bottom of the car. Opinions?

Happy Garage!

Thinking of purchasing the amuse wing. Opinions?

Having your own ATM in your garage, now that's just baller

Or is it suspect a cop just bought a Nismo, and has an ATM in his garage..

lol

The black out looks good on the red. What number is the Nismo?

Dozier · 11-01-2013, 01:24 PM

#108. No cop gets paid enough. My second job is servicing and maintaining atms.

Dozier · 11-03-2013, 12:19 PM

Washed / waxed

Plasti dip lip.

Debating on dipping the wheels and upper deck on the wing. What do you guys think?
