Yes, they are discontinued.

I'm not serious now, but am serious about the sizes and future interests in them.

again, I love this thread.

I wouldn't go as far as saying VIP inspired. Sport coupe, sporty kit and the wheels are KIIINDA vip'ish. Looks more drift car than anything
it wudnt matter if it was VS-KF or not.. w/ that dish, u cudnt see the face of the rim unless u're directly beside the car n e way lol

Call me crazy but I love the way it looked with the stock body and those Works.

My opinion may change when it's painted, however. Good work, looking forward to more updates

Yea, I was trying to install the side skirt so I removed it. Than I realize I should take some picture first. Thats why it was missing the little piece.

I will have some interior shot when I start working on the interior. Now is too ugly and stock to show any thing. Hahaha

I am running Med Disc for the front. I wish can get low disc but these wheels are originally for my R32 Skyline. I need med disc to clear my brakes.

I do agree the car looks kinda like a drift car. I am looking to modify the front bumper to look like a 97+ bumper. I did it with paint because I don't know how to use photoshop. I think this will make my car a little bit more subtle. What do you guys think????

Hope I'm luckly enough to spot the finished product on the roads. Very nice.

97+ idea is quite interesting, it'd be unique. I'd think mesh grill painted the same colour as the car would be nice.

Any good auto shops you'd recommend in the area?

Thanks for the comment!! hope I will get this back on the road soon!!

By auto shops?? what do you mean?? I do most of the work myself and all the body work are done by my friend. I normally don't go to shops so can't really recommand anything. Sorry

There was no update for awhile but here they are!!! I've fixed all the dents, dings and scratches last weekend. HOWEVER, I totally destroyed my front bumper!!!!!!!!!! All the mounts were broken so I pretty much took it off. Now the car has no high beam and bumper. Since it is snowing, I am not going to drive the car anymore.

Here are some pics:

The body work still needs some final sanding and shaping so this will take place after christmas.

I've also got afew parts and they should be here shortly:
- OEM grey leather seat
- 97+ kouki Tail light
- New bumper...
- VIP puddle light
- Pioneer DVD deck

I still need the 97+ fogs and grille!!! Anything you guys suggest at this moment??

NO FMIC yet..
