95 Revive Completed .. For Now! (56k run away)
I had to do some serious adjusting to get these pics on the computer and postable. So the quality went out the window ... sorry!
I have been working on this car for several months and for now its done. Here is a previous post.

It took forever to decide on the color. I was using the orange leather from the 350z but it looks strange on the panels with black seats. So I decided to use the burnt orange from the BMW seats but in suede. (some expensive material tho)

I found this motion shot!
It really has been a long road I cant even list everything I had to do to get this car to my standards. But I am glad to see that people like it.
Thanks to everyone for the compliments!

car looks good, i never really liked how those 350z wheels look on 4th gens but for some reason they look good on your car.
keep the glass headlights, i didnt realized til someone mentioned it. i guess to a trained eye you can spot it quick. i'm seriously thinking on buying 95-96 headlights only because i wouldnt have to worry about them hazing up like the 97-99 ones do...

Thanks for the interior compliment, I debated on that for a while and was concerned if it would look good with the white!

I bought the car with the wheels on it already. They wouldnt be my first choice but it grew on me. They were all mucked up so I stripped them and repainted them. NO RATTLE CAN. I painted in my friends paint booth. Maybe thats why they look different to you. I mixed the same paint as what Lexus uses on the IS350s with the gunmetal option. I'm glad it's liked, bc like I said I wasnt 100% on them at first.

Thanks man I am glad I got it done too ... Time for my next project. I have a 84 Maxima and a 95 Integra GSR but dont know which one I want to start next.
The wheels are from a 350z. I repainted them and used 6mm spacers in the rear.

I had to roll the rear when it was at the hieght in the pics just to put someone in the rear. In fact in the pics of the rear wheel you can see the rips in the tires! After I put the coilovers on and slammed it I had to pull the spacer off to stop it rubbing and I hate when the rim is inside the wheel well so plans are in place to pull the fenders and run 15mm to 20mm spacers. I am going for hella flush and if doesn't work I am selling it!

The materials were expensive I needed about 4 yards of suede, backing material, and canvas for the boots. I think all in all it was around $250. My brother is an extremely talented person, and made it all for me I just did the installations. He also did the pictures above.

The interior panels are a burnt orange, I figured it would get mixed reviews but it did mke the interior look and feel expensive, especially in person

Thanks bro. I'm big on clean cars ... IMO 4th gens look so much cleaner when there is no wing.
Thanks. I live in South Florida so its not as hard to drive it as it would be in places like NY. Fingers crossed I havent hit on anything, I guess its from years of driving slammed cars. Its lower now with the coilovers I plan on getting pictures just for show. I will return to the hieght in the posted pics soon bc the lower I go the smaller the wheels look and the worse it rubs. Its already at the point where I need a sticker like this one but with a 4th gen Max.

Go right ahead you wont get any hate from me! Piece of advice: The OE color of the wheels gets washed out on a white car. IMO thats why I painted mine a different color.
