Something Swedish that isn't a Volvo

the rear bags were you looking at the fatty or the skinny bag?

Thumbs up dude! The black totally works with the skirts and rear bumper trim.

Thanks man. Hopefully painting the Aero skirts satin black so they match the lip better this weekend.

Sounds good! I know the feeling with having to save up for a project, can't wait to see it when it's finished! I imagine the rear struts would be the biggest problem to overcome due to the odd strut positioning in the rear arch. Keep up the good work mate!

Thanks! Yeah, the saving is the worst part, Especially after you go cruising with your friend that has a bagged Audi. lol Makes me want to do mine even more.

I have an idea of how to do the rear, just not sure if the bag will clear everything. I'm going to use Koni adjustable struts all around with Universal Air Suspension Aerosport bags at each corner. The front will be a piece of cake, and I know everything will clear just fine. My main concern for the rear is that the bag may not clear the brake caliper when its aired out.



I do have a backup plan if that doesn't work though.

car looks good, iv'e been gathering parts for the past year and a half for my sentra for my air, lol my car has the cvt its awesome sounds like a supercharger!!

Thanks. I'm hoping it won't take me that long to gather parts. Hopefully I can get this damn houseboat sold soon so I'll have the cash. But, I plan to work a shit ton this summer too so I can get some nice wheels.

Good work with the lip mate, looks perfect with the black door moulds. How's the air ride set up coming along?

I think I have it all figured out as to how I'll do it and what parts I'll be using. Probably going to save some cash and a just do analog management instead of digital for now. Still waiting to get the boat mentioned above to get sold so I can order some big parts, but I am buying what I can right now. I'm picking up a tank from a member on here that's local to me in two weeks, and I might get started on designing the false floor for the trunk to hide all the management.

Thanks man. I'm working on getting the money to put this thing on the ground.

And because I'm a picture whore, here are a couple I took tonight:

Decided on Thursday that I was tired of the Aero front lip sitting in my basement doing nothing, and I didn't want to worry about having paint matched for it right now, so I had a though "The car's theme is black and white, so why not paint it black?" So I did.

Before:

And I was like:


But when I put it on I was like:

I LOVE the black. It shows up a lot more in person than it does in pictures, and compliments the trim line very nicely. Thinking I'll do the side skirts in the same satin black and get try to get them mounted before WBTB.

Ha, that's odd. I just watched the videos again, and it did sound like it never shifted. haha Guess it was because I was on hills each time I accelerated. My neighbor has a Nissan Versa with a CVT. They're weird. lol

I've never heard of shifter kit. What exactly does it do?

I don't believe they make one for the 9-5. Normally involves changing a couple components within the trans to get crisper, higher rpm shifts from an automatic. Honestly, the auto in those 9-5 is geared pretty decently, I'd just enjoy it as is.

Also, I say do the black vinyl!

There's a member here with a 9-5 wagon that's on cut springs right now. I think he's three in front and and two in the back. It's closed the gap a bit.

Trust me I have done everything the hard way.. be patient and do it right once. You don't wanna learn the hard way on a car like that. Decide if its really worth it to you then make a plan and stick to it.

Oh cool, in your videos it sounded like one of those crappy cvt's(I didn't hear it shift hahaha no offense).

Shiftronic/tiptronic is usually crappy in automatic cars. It has a delay and it only really seems to be there for you to keep the RPM's up during deceleration. Have you looked into a shifter kit? I've been in an auto tt supra with one, and the shifts are super crisp.
