    Nice little mods list. It's not the best looking right now though. You'll need a little work to get it up to speed with mine.



    P.S. I didn't think an Altima was small enough for the lip to match up, it isn't my style, but it's cool to think you can used whole car bumpers as lips.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Almost all those mods are just toyed with stock gear, and stock is 105 bhp so prolly 100 to 110 whp if he's lucky.

    I like it, I've actually been thinking of removing the moldings from the side of my FB, but I just don't know. Not big on the lip, but its very original and thats cool.

    had to split in the center and narrow like 8 inches... factory lower was smiling so just went down to the body shop dumpster and found a scuffed altima bumper, didnt know if it was gonna fit till it was done... i can also rip it off on a curb and go get another for 0 dollars... i would like to do a street port and holley but im a broke mechanic that is always working on other peoples stuff. i think my 1/4 was like 15.9 so yeah its not really fast.. but in its defense, traction was an issue. its very light in the rear, and with the stiff springs, there is no weight transfer on launch.

    Sorry if I came off as an ass, but yeah with these cars, speed isn't everything, cause the fun to drive factor is really high.

    No, everyone paints cars flat black, it looks like shit and it's a lazy cheap way to "finish a car's appearance" (sorry, I am aware you painted your FCs flat black but I still say flat black looks like shit).

    I agree with the above. Flat black on a car to make it look good is crap. I just wash my faded red and I think it looks fantastic for now.

    Well yeah, but hten it becomes a regular budget paintjob, I'm talking about flat black when you have no money. Primer flat, not correctly mixed even professional flat black. Hell even the rustolium $50 paint job with wet sanding blows cheap-person's flat black out of the water.

    i spent 150$ on the sem hotrod flat black paint, it shouldnt look anything like rattle can. i like the look, but i have mixed opinions about the color now that it is like the new "baller" thing to do like rob dyrdek's tahoe for example. but from the aspect of what i like without considering the current trends, it will probably be satin-ish flat black whenever i get the time to go over that rough ass body oh yeah the wheels are already black... i guess im a ricer.. so shoot me.

    that'll look good if you clean it up a bit before you spray then.

    The lip is what stands out,especially in person. The only thing he needs to do with it is sell it to me.
