Hehe,
Currently winter time so mods will slow down until Spring.

But update from last time,
Power folding mirrors -->
local exhaust shop fabricated 2.25" Y-Pipe.
The pull from 5K rpm is really noticeable. And coupled with my Berk HFC. Makes a really deep sound from 3K and up.

After the shop took the old one off, I examined the inside. and HOLY
Throughout the pipe, its uneven diameter. and the end of the Y pipe is just

Those 18" Altima wheels look pretty good, not a bad winter set at all
Nice to know they clear the Akebonos too, nice find!

Wow, I wouldn't have considered 15 inch wheels until now. Those look really good.

Were those fender blinkers on the car when we met up? I don't recall seeing them but my memory isn't what it used to be. Or what I remember it being... Or something like that...

Hey Vic, from your last pic is looks like you had the headlight assemblies painted. Yes? Or maybe it's just the lighting. If so, let's see some better pics of the lights.

*facepalm* Didn't even noticed until pointed out hahaha!!
Yea, I took the headlights apart and did the ironman LED and painted the housings.
I will get some pictures for you tomorrow afternoon.

@RexHavoc: Nope, the blinkers weren't on there when we met. I just had the fenders cut and installed last week. I bought the blinkers when I bought the power folding mirrors in Japan. Just never had time or guts to make a cut into the fenders. till now lol

They look good, nice job. Did you buy the connectors as well or just tap in? I'm very tempted to add them also but I'm going to hold off until I finally get the power folding mirrors and blinkers installed then reassess.

Yea, just ran a power and ground and tapped into the signal wire in the headlight harness. I tapped into the male side of the harness. My headlights are still removable without having to re-solder anything.


@Rochester: I left the reflectors unpainted in the headlight as it goes with my gold calipers incidentally.
And I've got another set of headlight painted if anything were to go wrong in these lights (Condensation, cracked, etc) so far so good!
