I bought the car in Dec. of '07 and its taken me a while to get to where I'm at right now.

Day after i bought the car used





After detailing the car myself




First thing I did to my car after i got it was put on an exhaust.I was debating between the HKS Hi-power and the Greddy Ti-C, but ultimately ended up going with the Greddy Ti-C.




After driving around like that for a while, I wanted to drop the car so I got some Espelir springs to bring it down to earth.






Soon after getting the springs, found out that the shocks gave out. Went over a set of incline rail road tracks and bottomed out the shocks. So i knew it was time to get some new suspension. After owning a couple of 240sx's and putting megan coilovers on there, i wanted to change it up and get better coilovers and be really happy with them. What did i get? I got me some KW V3's. Also figured i might as well get the whiteline underbrace also.

The car looked good but was missing a little pizzaz in the front so I opted to get a front lip and also put on some EK9 fog lights





We all know that after lowering a car, you gotta get some wheels, so I did. Looked around and wanted to go for a black on black look so I got some Enkei RPF-1s in black.




The remained this way up until about the end of 2010 when the S2K Homecoming happened. At the event, I won the Qube's LED dash and also a shift boot from JPM Coachworks. Also covered the parts around the boot with a carbon fiber overlay








After seeing several guys on the board making their own hood vents, i liked the look and wanted to do it myself




Soon after venting my hood, i wanted to mulderize my headlights and did it myself also





So after doing my lights in the front, i never really liked the taillight set up. So i did the best thing i could to fix it. Made my own custom LED set up.







My latest addition to the car comes as of 4/15/11
A Shine Auto Spoon Replica Front BUMPER! Notice that instead of being a solid color where the foglights are, the Shine one has carbon fiber in place.
Fitment is spot on and this thing just looks freaking sexy!








So this is what i have more car thus far.
My future plans are:

Varis fenders
J's rear diffuser
Downforce side diffuser

I will keep updating this thread as i keep updating my car
