Okay so I'm not all about Go, I must also SHOw. Here are some of my ideas that might be applied to my silver 93' MTX.
Corvette style center exhaust. I mean Dual duals. Polished double walled tips about 3-5" apart. This will be cut into the rear bumper central about 2-3" into the cover. The rest of the exhaust will be 3" from turbo to removable cat to 14" Magnaflow resonator to a single central 3" in dual 2.5" out Magnaflow muffler. Pretty straight forward. Def different. Only way to propperly do this is to remove(cut out) spare tire well and weld trunk floor flat. I already did this. It's all braced up too.
R33 Skyline type M cover. Instead of cutting the bejesus out of my OEM Gen2 front bumper cover for FMIC fitment and propper air flow to my air filter I will borrow my friends R33 Skyline type M front bumper cover since his car is down for a couple months for manifold and turbo upgrade. From there I will take it to a local custom fiberglass shop and have them make 2 bumpers into 1. I basically want the FMIC and fog light openings and the built in plate bracket along with lower look to match stock GEN2 side skirts.
Head light retro fit. As described in other topic I have access to a set of brand new R34 style 1 piece headlights from a 96 Nissan Maxima. The maxima has almost identical front end shape and size to the GEN2. I will trial fit them to see what obsticals need to be overcome. I know the fenders will have to be shaped to fit the different side marker shape. The grill will have to be fabbed not sure of that just yet. Maybe i will mimic the 99-04 mustang type grill.
AeroCatch Hood latches. Already got those and about to get them installed. Keeps the hood down and the perps out. Good piece of mind both ways.
Shaved rear door handles. This car is not a passenger car anymore. The back seat will most likely be removed.
Paint ideas. 2 tone. Basic style with an accent. I love the Silver on my car and I love Black. Well lets mix it up.Black top along the body line and silver metallic below. The car has a cowl hood so I will paint that all black except the side of the scoop. That will stay metallic silver. Just an accent on the front. Later I will have a Bayside Blue metallic dividing stripe to break the 2 colors up and to tie in my blue calipers and mainifolds and engine accents. Antenna will be shaved off and a Bullitt style billet gas lid installed.
Tail lights will be 50% black smoked. Removable film tint so the Police won't have hissy fits.
Another idea I had about is custom side skirts. The skirt is flat along the door bottoms and just seems to get thinner towards the back in a straight line. For the right side, what if you took a left skirt and cut it some where around the middle and did the same with the skirt on the car. Then you can graft the 2 together with a plastic welder and smooth it with body filler/resin. That would make it kinda look like a 94-98 M3 style skirt. It would also have basically all the same mounting points. If somebody has a SHO junk yard you could try this and if it doesn't work then throw the frankenstien piece away.
So what do we think?
