i like the inset sidemarkers, shaved moldings, and blacked out emblems/nameplates. did you buy the emblems that way or what's your secret?

Yes on the folding mirrors, but they don't fold in automatically like some people say, so I forget about them a lot. The emblems are regular emblems I've collected over the years from guys like RyanS-14 and eBay auctions. I like the SE-R badging, but I like to mix things up a little bit. (comment on painting below).

The cars been together for a couple months, but I just got the grille and emblems done so I knew I was ready for pics. Been peeping out a location for a while and found one when I was cleaning the gutters last weekend - the neighbors driveway from my roof! I also used a ladder near the car. I don't ever do photos either, I'm borrowing a camera and read some pages in this book
How to Photograph Cars. Not the best book, but I picked up a couple things.

Brakes would be nice, but it stops great with the AD22s. The car did just get painted, and I haven't driven it very much, but I'm dodging rocks like a mutha when I'm driving it. Clear bra is on the list right after a boost controller. Anyone need a
JWT ECU for turbo - I'm broke.

The lip is off of the 94-97 Accord EX. They have a small kit all around, but I only tried the front lip. It's a little wide so you'll have to have a split in the center unless you fab it in. The profile curve almost matched up perfectly with the Sunny bumper.

My one small construtive criticism: the tailpipe. I'm just being nitpicky.  |
The pipe is probably going to be cut tomorrow. Me thinks a slight angle would look good.
About the fenders
The fenders are regular Sentra fenders with some G20 recessed lights.

About the painting
My friend Jim prepped and painted the car. He did the fender light install, antenna removal as well as removing the body lines all the way around the car. He fabbed up the grille and painted the emblems and valve cover. All I had to do was provide the material and vision and he executed the plan.
What's nuts is that he does this ON THE SIDE. He owns a promising business called
Factory Wheel Outlet. So when you rash or bend your wheel, you can send it to my buddy and he'll take care of you. He's not paying me to say this, but he just does awesome work with anything cars.
Thanks for all the love, it's been a long time in the making and it's always nice to hear compliments from people who actually know the car and I don't have to look at blank stairs like when I tell people it's a Sentra.
