Quick Pics of my ride.
So it was kinda nice out today and decided to snap some pics to show everyone what I'm workin with.
Nothing major... just figured I'd show ya what I got. Maybe get some suggestions. I've been thinking about lowering it, but don't want the ride to be too stiff. Also thinking about painting the headlights, but scared of condensation inside.
Guess I just gotta get some *****!

I plan on painting the foglight covers.
No front plate = pulled over by cops. I don't need any more problems with them.

I had vinyls on the side markers that i made from an old set from the tails. But they would fall off after a car wash. Do you have em? If so, from where?

Looking good Bootz, keep it up.
IMO
1. Drop looks good and cornering improves but your ride comfort will suffer a bit. Especially if you go over 18" rim
2. Sidemarkers: I don't like the vinyl. Tried it on my car and that it looked like an after thought, haven't seen anyone else's car in person so maybe it was the way I did it.
I went with chrome CF sticker. It's holding up "okay" I needed a little bit of UV protection I think. As far as opening up the headlights, I've never had condensation issues. Just cover that lens with a damp towel before baking.
3. Foglight covers: I've always thought they should match the body color, the only ones who can get away with not painting them are blue and black cars.
4. Your grill looks good, is that the original mesh? I wouldn't paint it, it matches your wheels
5. License plate: how about one of the motorized holders, those are sweet.
6. Painting calipers is always good, it's on my list. I'm going with black. Not red.
7. Oh yeah, I always did like my roof spoiler but it may not be for everyone.

Your calipers look good, but if it were ME, i'd hit them with a little bit of tint spray to match your tails. The red would match stock tails but not so much with your tinted ones.
looks excellent regardless! keep it up!

your car looks dope man. you said you were thinking of getting new set of rims, were you thinking of black with maybe a chrome / machined lip... cause that would set it off. i have a question, my maxima is black and I really want to tint the taillights like you did. Any suggestions as to where or how to get that done?
