You should get the MR mesh that goes next to the driver side fog-light,

It's amazing how much a difference such a small piece can make,

Cheers and nice work,

Any pics of this?

I was actually planning to remove my mesh entirely during my ETS intercooler install next weekend, I hate mesh grills.

I was just going to say, it would look much nicer on the front with a nice large ETS intercooler

Thanks bro I plan on doing a full photoshoot with my brother soon after installing my ETS goodies. He has a Nikon something, I know dick about cameras, I just know he dropped big bucks on it and it takes amazing shots. Sadly, he bought it to take pics of his bad *** Si on TE37s, and sold it for a 4runner, damn gf pressured him into it . Night time parking deck shots with the city in the background I Need a new background for my computer at work.

NP, if you have already ordered send me a PM with your first and last name and I will double check to make sure you get a stencil on it.

d40 sounds about right, I went with him to buy it, I think he spent about 1200 on it a little over 2 years ago. Is that the price range of one of those d40's?

Poor sap, hes younger then me, lives with his girl (not hating, my gf lives with me also) but has completely relinqueshed command of the ******** base of operations. My girl told me she wanted me to keep my 06 maxima and didn't care for the looks or speed of the evo, I told her where she could keep her opinions from now on I'm such an *******.

As far as the larger turbo, right now, I plan on installing what I have on the way, making a few decisions about exhaust (single or dual) and tuning (cobb ap or tactrix+ecuflash) and once I have the tbe and running on a healthy tune.. we'll see, this car is my DD, so anything more then 400 whp or requiring anything other then 93 pump gas is just too impractical for me. Maybe if I get the position Im applying for and the payraise that comes with it, Ill pick up a cheap honda to drive around in daily or something and then go ***** to the wall with this one.

Its a really simple project, I think everybody should do it with the knowledge of how to turn an oven on and use some rattle can.

But I guess if everyone did it, my car wouldnt be very different

Car looks great, and headlights look awesome!

Its always nice when you do the work yourself and everything turns out beautiful. Very rewarding isn't it?
