off it comes

went over to AutoPro and picked up some sand paper grade 360 and started the sanding
started the spraying in this pic its half finished i dident bother about fixing any damage its not that bad anyway

and this is how it came out


anyone thats in need of a silver that is so close to the S13 Silver the paint i used is


i got them from supercheap
iam happy with the out come and also saved myself a fair bit of money
sorry about the pics still learning my new camera im noobing lol
also
update
so the other week i picked up a set of bolt on flares thinking they would work as they are universal flares anyway i brang them home mocked up and found out they where way to big lol o well so round 2 i went down to Just Jap today to pick up a set of S13 Bolt On Flares they fit so much better cant wait for them to be on the car
now the question is to leave them black or paint them silver?
needs more low lol
here are some pics



feedback?

zomg! Needs dropped badly!!! While camber does accelerate tire wear, it really doesn't do too much damage unless it's coupled with other alignment problems, like toe. I run around -10 degrees on the rear of my cressida, which I have had almost 2 years, and just today had to put my first pair of tires on the rear (driven all day every day since the day I got it). Now the front is at around -3, and was nearly an 1" out on toe before I corrected it, and in that time, I went through a pair of tires in 2 months. If you do it right, they won't wear out too fast, honestly. They won't last as long as they would on a stock height s13 with perfect alignment, but who wants that shit anyway? Also, seriously, 55 series if too too tooooo big
. Go with 195-50r15 and dial in your height/alignment and I bet you can tuck a wee-bit-o-tire

how its sitting at the moment, i reckon it looked better before with the kit and hp designs...get some smaller tyres and lower it cos right now it looks like a moon buggy, but your heading in the right direction!

i agree to that haha. i mean i would just slang the kit than and pick up something decent. Check out ozdesigns.ca they can get some nutty kits plus his names custom in house kits as well that have good fitment and look amazing. + steve (the owner) is australian and you know australians are rad.
