JJaber that is one sick ride man. I wish I had the time and cash to do something like that, but my 05 NBP is staying stock for a little while longer.

You were talking about completing the ASpec kit, but have you seen CC__TL's set up with the 07 rear and the quads? That would look great on your car. And I'd love to see what it looks like in NBP so I can dream a little more

 

Yeah, that does sound really tempting. It'll easily cost over a G though...ouch

Type-S mufflers: about $200ea
Type-S rear bumper: $230
Type-S rear lip: $250
Paint & install: another $200

So its either that or the Comptech exhaust! But provides no actual gains IMO, it does look better than the GREDDY and Comptech setups though.

 

Well technically you dont have to buy the rear bumper, just butcher your current one. You can probably get some magnaflow quads instead of the actual type S ones so it should be as much and you won't have to waste money on paint and install. I'd still rather go with the GReddy if I had the money

 

By lip you are talking about the decklid spoiler right? I'm still trying to get all these terms down, one day I think I've got it figured out, the next ... Anyway for my case, the previous owner had installed the wing spoiler ...

Fortunately for me the 07 NBP should match.

Some of the cars on AZ look amazing with the big cans, but for me, like you said, I really dig the quads. I'm sure whatever you decide on will look good though, your whip rocks.

 

Yeah, I was thinking that...wouldn't really notice one the rear lip is on. Would knock down the cost to about $650....hmmmmmm....doesn't sound like such a bad idea

 

Where did you find it? I'd like to get that too.

 

Someone already did this on the forums to, so you could ask them for help.

 

Anyone know how to get the roadblockers on perfect? I installed em, but there are bubbles...no matter how I try it, I always end up with a couple bubbles (mainly where I focused the blow dryer ) Do they eventually go away?

 

Do you mean rockblockers? I think klassic's place does it, but PM him and find out. People complain about that stuff peeling and looking tacky later so I never did it. I like how it looks, but not worth the headache in my book.

 

I put them on very easily on my OLD taillights, but i did have the benefit of having them off of my car when i was tinting them..

Def, find a local tint shop and they will hook it up right,,,

 

Damn, I already tried putting them on lol....I didn't realize how many bubbles there were until I put it in the light. Grrrrr....Do they eventually settle? At this point, I doubt I can take the film off

 

I'll sell you my old tails. They are like new. The originals.

 

Heres a little something I did over the weekend....my least expensive mod!

1. Duplicolor caliper paint (black w/ ceramic)
2. Brakleen (brake cleaner)
3. Wire brushes

Cleaned up the caliper w/ brake cleaner and the wire brush

Covered everything I didn't want painted...

The end result (after three coats...waited 15 minutes in between)


...And, the tinted tails (20%)


Full shot! Haha...I had to block out the sun...


The one and only...

 

Damn looks rele good. haha i need to get that to lift up my car instead of the scissor jack

I see the tails came out nicely

So when are we doing the photoshoot?

 

When you drop it like its hot and I get the rest of the a-spec kit haha

 

And what about ya boy?

 

That goes for you too! haha NBP photoshoot

We'll show AZ how its done....we just need a good SLR camera...

 

That would be a hot Photoshoot NBPX3

 

That's worth you driving 100 miles to take a pic with us dawg! Hahahahha!

 

I hate my fucking camera! I'm definitely looking to upgrade reaaaalll soon! I'm thinking Canon Rebel xti....what ya'll think? Seriously...

 

haha I wanna see Stella with her new shoes and JJ's TL with the fresh shades(tail tints) and fresh pedicure(caliper paint)

Okay that didnt even make sense..but haha I'll see you guys at the skyline drive I hope

 

I just got one 2 days ago.. i'm freakin lovin it!!! go for it my friend.. u wont be dissapointed...

Hot ass pics JJ. You know how to mod it up real good..

 

Thanks! I wish I asked that question before I ordered that A-spec steering wheel!

 

Looks good...but you didn't tint your rear sidemarkers...getting TL-S?

 

Yup! Such a rip off though...$100..ugh lol

I'm also thinking about getting black Rays lug nuts to set it off...yay or nay? I currently have chrome ones..

 

I'm sure most people will say go with the black lugs, but personally, I'd keep the chrome (goes with the lip).

 

I agree with chill_dog

 

How many coats of black paint did you use? I think I may do this as well.

 

I think I posted it up there, but I used 3 coats on each caliper.


Here is a preview pic of w/ my friends Nikon SLR

 

Hmmm...Look what the UPS man dropped off

 

haha i love the ups man. is that the comptech exhaust?

 

Wow...the inner ricer picked this out didnt he?

Haha just playing...looks hot! Can't wait till it's really on

Eric-Yeppp Comptech Catback

 

Yup...CT catback...the inner-ricer came to surface for a little...lol!
