^^^^^In addition to needing an fc, you also need to learn how to read.

Or.... ****....at least look at pictures beyond the first page.

I have my little heart set on work emitz wheels in some stupid offset that will force me to mold a widebody off of a datsun z into the existing widebody. (So xibit can say i widebodied my widebody)

I think my measurement was something like an 18x12 -24 or something like that. Just dont have a grand for the rebuild kit, and 800ish for the pair of wheels.

Yes i will be 16 in the front an 18 in the rear. Just take classes now and see my gf in nj on the weekends...no funds now.....

You are kind of dumb.

And for the record, i asked that before I FIXED THE ISSUE.

Now take it to private messages....or at least make fun of my fd lights.

.........So yet again my effort isnt overshadowed with confrontation.

Hey man thanks, my car is just like the rest. It has been through many changes & not always looked decent, but that's how things work. Some people need to realize that on these forums. It's great to hear both negative & positive feedback on our cars, but undertsand that in the end the car is ours & not thiers. Hope to see how the car progresses.

No... i will suxsesses eventually.

Car is in maryland because i was going to rebuild engine this summer in me pop's garage.

Long story short... Grandma keeps falling and pooping on stuff so my priorities have shifted to family and girlfriend who takes up (with a on my part) my weekends.

Grandpa has stopped driving so i will have garage space at some point. Car will be back together... just not now.

Rotordad: i didnt get rid of it... i just miss having it, and of course working on and driving it.

Earlier in the post it was mentioned perhaps without the mouldings the lights would look better, I Photoshopped it, I don't know what do you think ?

Thanks for the compliment.

The one going up the taconic sure as hell wasn't this one (unless very ambitious thieves got it running).

I will go check.

TOOSHORT88, I've seen 2nd gens in the past with 3rd gen bodykits but it just wasn't ?????? but I'm glad to say you've combined the perfect combination.
