I've been feeling the same way lately about my car. The Hellaflush movement for me is coming to a slow stop for me.

Bro...execution is on point. It looks EXACTLY how that type of car should! Nice flares and blue accents to match the BBK. Like the carbon fiber pillars to match hood and rear bumper vents. You always do excellent work!

Thanks Thanks Thanks!

The fender flares are obviously bolt on and were made to be repaired if one gets damaged.
I made the design and rough fitup of the flares where they bolted up without issues. Then took them to the bodyshop for the final finish. The shop I used did a great job with taking my idea and bringing it to life.

If anyone is intrested I'll be making molds of the flares sometime @ the end of the year. Once I get them made I'll become a vendor to sell here on CL, this of course is if I get enough intrest in them.

STEEZY - these wheels are SICK! 18lbs for a 10.5 inch wheel is alot lighter when your holding it than you would think it would be. They also look huge for a 18 inch wheels.

Also for anyone who loves Time Attack wings like myself.

This is a Voltex Type 2 wing 1600mm for a 180sx. It bolts right up without any issues and fitment is perfect. The wing is on 245mm stands and Voltex has many different sizes in height to choose from.
30mm - 275mm

FRP - fiberglass with carbon placed where they bolt up.

Strong and flexable at the same time, within reason
