Hmmm, I'm probably the only one here who prefers the USDM tails and the pop-up headlights. I loved the 240SX (and the 300ZX) as a kid and I still like the original look. Yours is still totally awesome though KD!!!

My brother and I were just talking about what color to paint it. Our best idea yet would be to go with a TL Type-S white body with a gloss black roof and pillars along with a carbon hood.





My other choice... Midnight Purple from the Nissan Skyline R34.

I really like the purple, b/c it would look black at nite... but I totally understand wanting to come up with a multi-color scheme... Nice thing about paint... you can always do it over and over and over... not cheap, but gives you options....

That looks amazing, loving the silvia front. Not a huge fan of purple normally but that deep color looks good

matte black, real deal matte black though, not primer. I think some people get confused(not directed at the OP or anyone in particular).

Btw been following this thread, very jealous, but happy do see a car being more than a pipe dream. Beautiful man!

Update...


Ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport tires. PS2's up front, A/S for the back. I know it isn't good policy to mix and match tread patterns but I needed something with a relativly long tread life to get me back and forth to school, it's not like I'm a race car driver. Getting them installed Friday hopefully!
