thanks tursty. i have a huge FM and am going VM if i cant figure something out to keep the temps down. a new front bumper will be a must, but i am not sure if that will be enough. cant get much racing done if you are worried more about temps then anything else. if you make ducting for it, please take pictures.

I don't think the version 2 advans flow as good as they do on a FD compared to a gunmetal R32 skyline.

Thanks guys--I actually disagree and think they look better on an FD than any Skyline because the FD has rounded lines similar to the Advans, while the Skylines are more squared off. I'm probably going back to the popup headlights and when my R1 lip and rear spoiler are installed, I think it will flow even better. It's all personal taste, but I think we can agree they a much needed improvement over the stockers.

Yeah I forgot to add that part, haha. He's tuned diesel trucks, Subies and EVOs, etc on there. But you have the option of hooking up the rear roller to the front. That's a damn nice, AND expensive, dyno.

Rice hata... I don't know, a front lip would probably help, but I think a subtle RE aftermarket front bumper would compliment those flush/sleek headlights and wheels better. Clean car, though... Those wheels are killer with the right look.

Sick ride green, I've been contemplating going with some fender mirrors, and this has put me that much closer to pulling the trigger. Looks awesome.

Still amazes me how well the FD body has aged, especially compared to Skylines. FD's look like they could be new and the Skylines definitely look like 90s cars.

Sick car Bewtew- the new wheels are really going to set it off nicely. 18x10 and 11's?
