They were fairly cheap
That'd be awesome.
Well if the hole has to be directly over, that'd be fine.

Thanks in advance

So I got the lug nuts today and I did have trouble at first because I guy on ratsun said he couldn't fit all four lug nuts in.
But then I just realized it was because of gravity and how it caused leaning. I solved that and it all worked out pretty damn well.
PICS.

Here's the stance that I literally LOVE.
This is without a spacer in the front. When i swap on the zx struts, I'm sure it will go in a bit but I can use the spacer then.

Thanks a ton to all the people that I bugged and shit but helped me out.

Yay! I had faith. Why? because those are like the only shank nuts made, besides the oem nissan ones. So there really wasnt any guessing.

Auveco is a company who makes all sorts of fasterners. I am using part number 11406. As it states, it needs a 1/4inch hole. They fit a little loose when the panel is not attached, but I would assume some tape, or whatever you wrap the panel in, would hold it fairly well. They really do a good job at holding the panel on. My panels are 1/8th inch ABS plastic. I bought this box on Ebay.

Thanks plenty.
I'll def look into it more.
I seem to keep breaking or losing more door panel clips.
I have the original clips and they're extremely fragile.

I was going to buy tires but then fam emergency came up and had to toss up a grand from savings.
It sucks because i had $400 for those repro grills on ratsun but now it's all gone.

I'll be saving up for now and I currently haven't done much besides install the kicker panels and put speakers in.

Does anyone know if these are worthy?

i decided to plasti dip my rear end where a garnish would belong.

Here are the results. Give some feedback!

I think I did a bad job but it'll slide. i got the idea of it and now when i redo my body, I plan to paint,
There are no drips but there is a flaw.
The lines themselves are not that defined.

I only put four very thing coats so the transition would be prove but it's not.
maybe they weren't thin enough?

It looks alright but if you get a foot or less closer, you can see the undefined lines.
It bugs me because i want it to be perfect but nothing is.

I put 3 layers of gloss and waiting for that to dry.

I don't know why but this pictures makes it seem like the closest corner is off but its the only good picture i have.

Image

anyways, a friend had to do some photography project and he decided to use me and i didnt allow it until my car was in the picture. he sent me the gayest ones but here's the only one i have so far.

and i also snatched one in the meantime.

Thanks. I try to put at the minimum an hour a day on it if not more.
But sadly, the guy before my just painted over the rust and it kills me to see the rest bubble and come out.

depressing.

but thanks. encouraging comments like that keep me motivated.
