I feel your angst about this consideration, Chris. You know that I've been giving way too much thought to the trunk, too. Thinking about a way to make the back end unique, without being stupid. I actually think the signature would look better in vinyl rather than raised, rounded chrome. Also, that's quite a significant statement to make, when all it represents is a shift ****.

Personally, I see no problem with seeing SKYLINE on the trunk, but by itself, without a corresponding branding symbol.

New grille emblem... are you putting the burger on the grille? Or are you doing something custom?

 

I could get vinyl cut I'm sure. You're right though, all I have right now is the shift ****. If I had a TK body kit that would be much different. I was going to get an engine cover but that is only a glue on so I passed on that so far. I may have a different plan though.

I would pass on the burger in the rear for sure. A simple skyline would be what I envision.

No burger on the front. My original plan was to go with an emblemless grille but I'm holding off for now and going with a mesh grille with a reflective Fuji.

The burger doesn't fit given the other fujis around the car... I doubt I'll find a TK clock so,unless I go jdm sort of stuck.

 

In that case, I totally agree. You could pull off the signature on the trunk in a way that's far more appropriate.

Good. Yes, agreed again.

Are you thinking of doing what STownSaint did? This is really nice, with or without the oversized Fuji.

Here's a picture of his car, parked in the world's smallest garage ever built.

 

Ok so this morning I decided to drop the front of the car 2 full turns on the Tein's on each side. I ended up lowering 1/4 of an inch. Heres the kicker! The ride is actually smoother! Mind BLOWN!!!


Also I have a gripe of sorts. What is the obsession with making ones car "female"? Does this hark back to the old Navy times where ships where named after women? I have always seen my cars as my best friend. When you get back to your car after a long hard bike ride there is your best boy waiting for you with cold AC. He is always has your back. Always ready to just cruise or go ***** to the wall. My car is my best friend. He is always looking out for my family when we are all in the car. And when the wife is out in the car I always ask that he takes care of her and he always make sure that he rather go out like a champ while protecting his family. Above all my car is no "Bitch".

 

 

Lol^^^
I wouldn't get too worked up over your cars' gender

xpc, glad you're liking those coils, post up some pics of your bad as$ dudes' new stance

 

For the most part yes. The frame will be CF and the Fuji black reflective. I'm trying to find some pics of it but failing...

 

Had to play the automobile "shuffle" as my parents are in town he is normally in the garage. Here he is after the front was lowered another 1/4" on an inch.

Waiting for the AFE CAI to come so I can add some growl to it.

 

How much lower can you go on the rears and front XPC?

 

My car drives perfectly fine when there's nice weather but when it rains the steering wheel shakes... a lot. could it be the water is throwing my wheels out of balance? it gets real bad 70+ mph

 

I can honestly say I still have about 1 1/5" or more of threads still under the collars.

 

I can tell you the issue I found with my wheels is that after they where refinished there was a lot of material left on the lug nut seats. The lugs would not seat properly. Also the hub area also have paint in it. After I cleaned it off a bit that stopped my 70 plus shake. I can't imagine water making your car shake unless maybe your hydroplaning?

 

Easily. There's a lot of room to lower on the Tein Basis.

Car looks great, man. Really good work you've done there on fitment.

 

XPC - Is that bat's gloss black rear vinyl?

I got the RJM installed today. In short, yes definitely 1st mod for any 6MT owner. Even if you get a good deal on an Invidia catback,R2C intake, or 370Z Rays. Skip it and go straight to this 1st!

 

If you only ever do one mod... well, I'd still say sways. LOL

But if you only ever do two mods to your 6MT, then yes, absolutely.

Congrats, MaQG37
