[Jason@JGY]

you going to do anything to it?
besides the bumper?

[ShamROCK]

Well, I have a buddy in VA...so as soon as I get some vacation time available, I'm gonna stay a week at his house and 'pimp my ride' in his garage ;)

Seriously tho:
- I installed HID's (35W, 5000k)...
- Header and exhaust is next
- Intake after that
- I'm adding side-marker lights (BMW (http://www.stealthauto.com/Products/BMW-E6061-5-Series-SedanWagon-smoked-Fender-Side-Marker%282004-2007%29__BMW-E60-61-LIGHT-SM-SMK.aspx)). I'm gonna put them in the front fenders...horizontally even with the factory side moldings, so it looks OEM. I'm havin trouble deciding if i want clear, amber, light smoke, or dark smoke though.
- I'm gonna install an OEM foglight setup, upgrade it to HID (35W, 3000k), and wire it so I can use my fogs as DRL's
- I've got a BUNCH of white led's so I can redo the cluster and get rid of the nasty orange OEM dash lighting
- I'm looking for a suspension that I like...but I havent found anything yet
- 18" wheels, possibly bronze...unless i find some OEM nissan/infiniti wheel that fits aesthetically
- and that bumper has GOT TO GO, lol

[Jason@JGY]

We sell HID's..........but everybody does.

I installed one of our Hi-Lo Xenon kits on Heather's G20.......so she has HID for high and low.........it's nice and the G20 housings make the lights look good.

now...........on our tow truck, I have HID's in the driving lights............and man, everyone HATES them. apparently the housing's don't blew the lights.......

the funny part is that 18wheeler trucks seem to get the most annoyed...........which makes no since

[Andrew@jgy]

Any mods done yet?

[ShamROCK]

ohhh yes my friend...many mods

- I have removed the yellow "little trees" air freshener in favor of the "new car scent" (five blue "little trees")
- I have replaced the cheezy wipers with new rain-x latitude blades
- I have installed my yellow foglights and an OEM switch
- I have debadged the trunk (only the "2.5S" remains), and got rid of the keyhole back there
- I have bought new front tires (but they are moving to the back today, in favor of another new front pair...just for YOU).
- I swapped out part of the exhaust (nothing fancy...just less restrictive)
- I installed hood struts and removed the hood prop-rod
- installed a new Pioneer head unit
- i replaced the spare tire cover...the one in the car was warped...nothing would sit in the trunk securely

thats really it...nothing special. I'm more show than go ;)

[Andrew@jgy]

I also enjoy the new car sent air fresheners.

You know we didnt race because you didnt show right? CHICKEN!!!

[ShamROCK]

Geesh Andrew, you miss me a lot...I can tell. You have been teasing me non-stop since i left...you know im coming back right?

I love you too sweetie ;)

[Jason@JGY]

nice back ground.......it's nice to see different settings with cars

the stickers compliment the car as well, I would be more interested in buying the car now knowing that you buy from a quality place

[ShamROCK]

Well, I guess the background and the sticker are cool...but there's 1.5 tons of Nissan goodness in every one of those shots.

You no like? :(

[ShamROCK]

A friend on another forum offered a visual interpretation of where I'm going with my plans for the car...

[ShamROCK]

Hells yeah ShamROCK what kind of look are you going for when its all said and done?


Clean and low...attention grabbing without any tacky, aggressive styling.

Lights are key in my opinion. lights grab peoples attention, and if they like cars even a little bit...it will hold their attention until they see the entire car passing by.

I'm making small changes even now, and people don't notice the differences...sometimes it's frustrating, but it's very rewarding because I know once it's dropped and I have my wheels fitted the way I want, people will drool.

Jade Version 2.0 will be completed with a few goodies thrown on by the time I install the ksports.

[Andrew@jgy]

Are you gonna go with a different paint scheme?

[ShamROCK]

Im thinking about it...but it won't be anything aggressively different. I might go with the same exact color if I can find a way to repaint it with a satin finish.

I might also go with a version of the nissan pearl white in a year or two.

[jholman]

Sounds like you have some good ideas brewing

[Andrew@jgy]

That white would be really neat. Id like to see that on an altima

[ShamROCK]

thanks guys...i might have some parts added and painted within a few weeks.

I'll post new pics here before I post em anywhere else ;)
