i know i dont want to go forced induction on this car. i want to keep this car relatively stock. well not stock obviously but....you know what i mean. i have my spec for that.
i think im going to find another FB and get myself a 20b (er attempt to find one anyhow) if not ill just get a 13brew.
but next on the list of things to do to this car is interior. im going to completely redo everything.
thanks.

i still dont know how i feel about the spoiler. its looks far better than it did when the rest of the car was stock and it was on there.
unfortunately of all the choices i have i think this is the most aesthetically pleasing to me. with the kit i dont like the FB without a wing. stock i like no wing. i dont like the low 3 piece and this wing is what goes with this kit. so its staying. till i can figure something else out anyhow

yeah you do have the same kit. the key different between the one you and i have and the others is the side skirts. if you look at most of them they tops of the sides dont taper like ours do. they are square and cover everything but the doors on the sides and the ones we have are a lok "chunkier" looking more aggressive IMO
thank you.
its funny i like it a lot im very happy with the way it turned out but i have a very hard time with aesthetic change so im still adjusting to it. i did this with my sentra too when i put the c/f hood and c/f windsplitter on.

update:
everything is finally on. filthy but on. it needs to be cleaned horribly.
the rear valance was the biggest pain in the ***.
my car had been rear ended a few months ago by some dumb bitch in a chevy p/u truck. what i hadnt realized was that it had pushed the bumper out horribly on the sides which made my life impossible. i had to pull the bumper in with spacers but now that its all handled im happy.
ill try to take pics later today.

on the sides where the skirt goes into the door there are 4 rivets. keeps it secure. i suppose you could use screws but they have bigger heads and might look weird.
the front bumper on my car is pushed in in the middle a bit more than i liked and the center of the valance looked a bit funny so i riveted on the front a few rivets but they are painted flat black and anyone other than me is unlikely to notice them and then because my damn rear bumper was all messed up as i already mentioned the valance refused to stay flush with the bumper guard so i used rivets to hold it in place again they are flat black and hard to notice.
