Just an itty bitty protection for the doors. Having an issue keeping one of the rear door pieces secure on the bottom and worry about parts popping off on the highway lol!

A couple more minor mods. One installed in 2min one not yet but I thought I might share it anyway.

First is a really almost forgettable chrome trim that was WAY too expensive than it was worth (I will never tell) and the other is I think a great mod. LED tail light reflector replacements. Be your own judge of it but I think it really adds some detail and looks very nice compared to the boring USDM OEM reflectors with also a MUCH richer red.

Nice James. After you get the lights installed you need to take some "overview" shots of your car. The kind car dealers take when they are selling one. You give us close ups of individual mods but it would be nice to see the whole dash, back seat, etc. You've done a lot to your car and it would be good to get the full effect.

Gonna hide my air ride controls...
I havent been able to play much with the car yet, but does the center armrest move forward and backwards??? is that how you are hiding your controls.

Yes but you have to buy the extra CD holder as well to store and hide the controllers

I found this on Ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-L...ht_3356wt_1062

I'm just curious is this a snap on kit or did you have to drill holes to keep it attached.

For someone that did the side mirror mod, did you order something similar to this?

Yes this is the one I have. Same seller. He's pricey but uses EMS for shipping and it's always a good experience. Yes definitely drilling, and it needs to be precise but it's not any place that will matter later on the drilling location. It's a tad complicated cause the instructions are in Japanese but from a scale of 1-10 as 10 hardest I would say it's a 4-5 if your willing to take the time.

Please tell Masahiro San I said hello.

Nice one James! Love the JDM specification lights, I wanted the clear ones from the Harrier. You'll have to give us a walk through on how you did it buddy



Okay, my update.. well no real mods... but I organised a photoshoot yesterday. Here's a few photos







Whole photoset here with a few other cars (evos, skylines, etc):
