My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!

Looking good. Agree they're not the best looking. Was wondering if there are any others that would fit, but perform and look better...350z/sti/etc

Painted mine copper. The picture doesnt make it look right but you get the idea. I like it, it goes well with the turn indicators.

Sorry for the dirty car, drove through something like "The day after tomorrow" yesterday...
