Well, my opinion -- and since its not my car its really irrelevant -- is as follows:

1) The front bar is too aggressive for the rest of the car at the moment. I assume you like it, so I would suggest the addition of some side skirts to match and get rid of the variation in height.

2) I'd ditch the GT wing. They look silly on road going cars IMHO, and have no place on a sedan. You could use the money to fund, say, a FMIC to fill the big gap in your front bar.

3) The wheels are not to my tastes, but again, that's not the point is it :huh:

4) I wouldn't be listing stickers as "modifications" :)

lol....thanx to all of your comments, nah im sweet in all honest i like it with the spoiler plus it just cost me $200 to get the boot fixed so im not too keen on spending it again. You cant please everyone i know that but i did what i wanted to my car so others opinions are just fine :P i do agree with the side skirts and rear bumper but alas, i have used my nut and brought 3wks holiday in brisbane and sydney and also a house so, they will wait, still a work in progress my car and hope to import it if i find a job in oz. yep no worries will turn down that boost then i was told putting a front mount on would let me get at least 15 outta the turbo, so do you think it will blow if i left it on a bar??

hi there, yes yes, i think we figured the stickers weren't mod's thanx :unsure: hey RyanN yeah the rides good aye mate, i was pulling 120-140k's around a few 35-40k corners out in raglan here in nz and it stuck like gummies to an old person, its comfortable as hell and gives the car just the right look i would recommend lows if your thinking about it.

awesome, im going to order them right now. :unsure: as you can see my car needs it - ass is sticking right up in the air. :lol:

EDIT: The other thing i was going to ask is how loose are the low king springs in the shocks? are they still a tight fit?

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
