| First of all, I'd like to thank whoever suggested that I put the black stripe back on along the bottom. It looks 10 times better. (Note: I have to re-do the part behind the driver side door, as it's crooked). I used black 3/8" vinyl adhesive from pep-boys instead of the $$$ grey-ish Nissan one. 2nd, I've added the Bilski overdrive waterpump pulley (Replaced the upper shroud at the same time because the old one was cracked) and WOW what a difference. My Techtom went from 210-215F (with A/C on) to 185-190 with the A/C on and slightly less without it on. The needle is lower than 9'oclock which it did not do prior to this. 3rd, Thanks to Coz, for awesome delivery (order to at my door in 2 days). 4th, Since the last time I've taken pictures, this is what has been added (cosmetic):
Lower black strip,
splashguards,
front windshield trim (It's not installed in the pictures, but it's finally there now!),
painted that lip under the car (along the sides) black,
and of course FOR THE TIME BEING, painted my old JDM Gewalt wheels flat black (for the hell of it, since I'm headed to MSR Cresson, TX 10-19-08, and my new "shoes" should be here around that time anyway.
I don't think it looks bad with black wheels, it's just not my thing, but I'm glad I did it to see what it looks like.
(those that are scratching their heads here... one wheel on the front has a wobble and cannot be repaired without compromising the integrity of the aluminum, so I'm buying all new wheels... it will balance to about 70-80mph and then starts to shake a little). Pics:
