Feels like a build thread to me. Want me to move it?

Yeah is kinda of a build thread. Thought it was here because I’m new here. Sure you can move it if it isn’t much trouble to you. Would you like me to change the thread title?

Test fitted my old oem maxima wheels. They are 18s. Once the bbk is put on I will have to put these wheels on because they clear the brakes and the oem G wheels that I have don’t. All that until I pick a new set of aftermarket wheels or the V1 wheels. Obviously will do something about that monster truck gap

Car was throwing crankshaft sensor code. Ordered new oem sensor from conceptz. Also picked up the banjo bolts for the eventual bbk swap.

Haven’t posted in a while. Haven’t done anything to the car in a while besides basic maintenance. I did buy a new shifter **** though. The old one was jacked and actually scratching me.

Picked these up. $600 with tires. Little scrapes here and there. I’ll probably just rock em out for the summer and then get them redone over the winter.

I’ve always been an Eibach guy but since the overwhelming community consensus is swift, I didn’t feel like breaking with tradition

Kinda at an impasse here as to which color to go with. I was given 2 different colors when purchased. Any opinions on which color I should go with. I feel like you can really go wrong with either

Red. IMO, the red calipers will give a nice pop of color against the sea of silver (rotors, wheels, silver car, etc.).

Just my 10¢.

never actually looked at it like that, a sea of silver which is exactly what it is.

Red is so common, and the contrast pops like bubblegum. How about yellow?

If you're open to any colours, how about dark blue or bronze? If it's just red or silver I'd say red.
