okay, now it posting. The Hood is a new addition, aluminum, it is a little rough, but thats cool it looks mean.
The spoiler was put on yesterday, as with adjustable rear end links.
The engine was put in a few weeks ago, and the interior was done during the summer. The center piece is a first in stages of development and refinement until I get the perfect fit, plus I need to get new circle cutting tools for the guages. More guages will also be going in the glove box panel. The glove box is now home to some electronics that needed a nice tucked away mounting place that is not easily accesible.

I actually got the hood like that. It is a stock aluminum hood, with a vent from a 300zx hood grafted in and then painted black over purple.
As for the things coming out the back of the car I can only assume you mean the tailpipes? Is that what you are asking?

Its hard to rust stainless steel. You may not like the tips now, but when there are huge blue flames coming out!!
These tips aren't too popular on the forum, oh well, they were the style I have always wanted(like old school euro cars), my old man had them on his cars when I was really young. I didn't want to go with the regular round tip. Oh well, to each their own.
I have been considering going to a single exhaust setupp to reduce weight of 2 pipes, but I like the look so much and I can't decide what other style muffler I would want.
BTW what are you talking about "up down thingies"?

Dont worry about what other people say about your ride, if this is what YOU like then do whatever you please.
Im currently building my own true dual stainless steel exhaust, It might be pretty heavy, even heavier than stock, but I just want to keep my car looking stockbodied inside and out.

It was a really nice GXL when I bought it in 97. I was young and wasn't alllowed to get a tII, or a 73 240 that was a SCA performance driving school car that were my first choices. Over the years I have developed the need for more speed, I never wanted to sell her and get a turbo and there are never any really around here for sale. So It just kept getting modded and things taken out. Yes it looks rough, oh well, I guess it suits me!!

the 240 was so slick, bright red, lowered, fender flares, racing seats, harnesses, a roll bar, bored out motor running 2 side draft weber, straight pipes from hedders. I took it for a ride, that car ripped it, the suspension was crazy and sounded mean. But i guess at the tyime a 73 Datsun wasn't really the best for me, I was 17. And that was before Nissan started the factory backing again. Oh well, someday I'll find another one.
