Red face New Mods Coming...FIGs parts arrived **Updated Pics**

Well maybe not everyone's cup of tea but for now its where I'm going with the GS.

Got the wheels painted(did with automotive paint and clear myself)
Figs Mega arms, Toes Links, and RCA.
LS Brakes go to the powdercoater next week.

The wheels I'm using for a while, first to clear the LS brakes and second to upgrade to 18s. I know they are stockers froma G35 but hey for the price couldn't beat it.

The car currently sits on BC Xtreme drop coilovers.

I have an RMM bumper I am working on repairing and putting on the car, then I don't know what Ill do next.

Looks like you've got the right idea bro! Just need some trac links to complete the trifecta of FIGs. I like the unicorn SD too

^ I've had FIGs gear on my car for over a year as have many others before me (like Sakataj who definitely had them for way longer). Plus Mike @ FIGs is really an awesome guy.

Nice white on black SD.. I'd love to have one, I couldn't find a white on black anything at the time I was looking, so black on black it is, the second best combo..

It about half dead, mounting points are kind fubared so i need to work on those. Has a crack in it and the paint it shot. I think I can bring it back though.

And nice collection of figs parts..I actually went that route based on your reviews and threads on FIGS. IThank god for kids...

Thanks guys. Hope to have everything on and done the week of Christmas since I'll be off work.

post some pics of it? yeah that sucks, hope you got it for cheap. its polyurethane though so it can always be brought back, just gotta put the time/$ into it. this cost me about $900 to repair/paint, fixing the rip in the poly front the front hitch of the other driver was the worst













and then finally to this
