    Aw yea, looks great. Losing the wing should make it look lower/sleeker for sure.

    Regarding the all-red tails: splitting them apart and redding out the inside, keeping the lenses clear might look sick. Unless that's already what you had planned, then disregard this, lol.

    Was a fun car to watch.. hope to see it again this year!
    Thanks! I will definitely be there. The hot dog riding on my roof left a few dents but it was worth it.

    It's hard to tell, but it looks like your compressor is being fed power through the pressure switch. If that's how it's wired, you need to get a relay in there stat. Those cheap pressure switches are not designed to handle 25-30A running through them. They'll hold up for a while, but not forever.

    Yup, time to cover in carpet. Just haven't been able to yet, been swamped with school.

    EDIT: Also, where's your safety valve? On the drain manifold under the tank?

    Here we go, the world's least visually appealing trunk setup.

    Was bored while it was raining here so did two five minute photo shops of the tint,spoiler/badge delete and red tails. Could of done better but only something really quick





    The tint looks a tad green since using the black makes the cream wall change colour
    Thanks so much for doing that! definitely convinced me re: red tails.

    post your trunk setup please
    Alright, I'll get some pics of it this afternoon, but it ain't pretty. Using an old style 8 valve manifold rather than a VU4 so there are a ton of wires but it's cleaner than it was.

    Thanks, and I think it's an inertia issue lol.

    Unrelated; love the 32 spokes (if that's what they are) on the altima. Good pairing.
    Appreciate it dude. 22 spokes, I call them non-AMG S550 19's lol.

    FYI; that first pic is a perfect candidate for chopping out the spoiler.

    I don't think the chrome window trim would look bad. Goes well with the lips on the wheels and would be good contrast as the body is dark blue.

    I really think tint would do wonders though. Wish I had done it on my car before I parted it.

    Looks good though, don't get me wrong.
    Damn I think I might really have to get tint the next time I have $100 lying around. I wish I could photoshop it on to see what it looks like. I think the chrome window trim would have to be black to match if the windows were tinted.

    Stickers are in a constant cycle of being taken off in order to be 'clean' and then put back on with the self-delusion that it will only be one or two. I know they don't look good, but I love stickers and when my friends give them to me I like putting them on the car. Maybe my air tank can be my new sticker place!

    Literally have red VHT in the car for when it gets warm enough. Don't worry, wetsanding and putting clear on top. No matte.

    Thanks for the input man!
