Kevin, that's the same thing as Tim's coupe (kind of) and the same thing I'm going for also. But a actual chuki lip kit, instead of sohc lip.

Car looks good Sean, what happened to this weekend?

Sorry about that man, got distracted Had to help a coworker move some stuff to and from Sarasota, which took up the whole day Saturday along with Halloween, and Sunday was spent sailing and cleaning parts out of the garage... but I have a ton more room to move around now! I'll call you later in the week, I can stop by after work one day, how late can I drop by?

i have aftermarket rear valances, theyre slightly more aggressive. no idea what they are.
this picture sucks, but this car has 180sx valances,

theyre too short, and look weird to me. and dont follow the body lines on a coupe too well.

I know your valances are aftermarket, I was just referring to the more "factory aero" appeal. Which is what I'm thinking for the coupe, since my wheels aren't supper aggressive.

And that white coupe has oem silvia rear valences. they're similar, but not quite the same as 180sx stuff. It also has oem 180sx skirts, mine are TBO. They flare slightly differently...
looks awesome, so you converted windshield wipers and everything? BTW I know someone also with a MINT dash if you ever need one

IDK why my car didnt have valences, it's weird, but I think it's cuz it's a base model?

Yep, did wipers and all Hopefully there won't be any big give-aways that this wasn't a real 180sx by the time I'm done!

And my dash is mint except for a tiny blemish right above the gauge cluster... I don't think I'll be messing with it, but if I do, I'll let you know. Thanks man.

shits coming out sick, can't wait to see it done.. are you gonna get the whole car repainted or just spray what needs to be sprayed?
