That is actually factory 17 year old paint. For the most part it is still pretty damn clean. The hatch was all rusted under the spoiler, so I replaced it with the black hatch off my old S13. I actually like the black hatch on the white car though haha. Further, the trim piece under the tail lights has yet to be painted =P.
The exhaust only sits that nice because I made it fit as tight as possible. I fabbed up the downpipe on my own - the flex-pipe is just about resting on the bottom of the car; after that there is a resonator; then a resonated test-pipe; then a Blitz Nur-Spec R cat-back (that also has a resonator). There are no real (baffled) mufflers in the exhaust for flow reasons, but I threw in all the resonators to tone it down a good bit. I think I could still fit one more resonator in the cat-back to tone it down a bit more though :D .

I could help you find some if you just can't find them - otherwise, hell no! :toung:

No. It is a 1990 240sx with 180sx Type X taillights.
dude nice ride! what size rims?
Thanks. They are 17x8 (235/45-17) and 17x9 (255/40-17) 5zigen FN01R-Cs with the rear fenders pulled a bit to fit (let me know if anyone would like to rent my Eastwood fender roller btw). I've recently been considering moving the 9s to the front (with possibly some overfenders) and getting 10s for the rear after a ghetto 5-lug conversion on the rear only. More than likely would keep the same tire sizes though (or slightly wider possibly), so I'm not sure if it would be worth it all... we'll see.
Thanks for the kind words - I thought I'd be the only one still up that early this morning lol. From looking around the site, it seems there are a lot more S-chassis running around here than I thought - and I've had 240s since the beginning of '05 (been driving this one every day since July of last year). I can't wait to hopefully get to the next meet!

96+ taillights look awkward zenki/chuki cars, aero ftw.
What offsets are your wheels?

nice car what else do you have done to it?
An SR I built, Z32 MBC and front brakes, KTS coilovers, subframe bushing spacers, SPL tension and traction rods, etc, etc. Forgive me for being a little nervous about posting my 'list' on a public forum after seeing so many 240s stolen these days... I should make it to the next meet though.

To each their own, the 96+ rear looks awkward to me. Plus no money for aero any time soon :( . Offsets are +35 front and +20 rear.
