Man that looks like my car. White with rear bumper trim, OEM deck spoiler, and aftermarket 9-spokes.
Is that yours, 4DRZ? Love the look from that angle.
Yes, that is the beast. Quite the sleeper. I was walking out to the car after work one night and the light was just bouncing off the paint in the most incredible way. This picture was taken a bit later when I didn't have the same effect, but I was far away and zoomed in and it was just blurry enough to look like it was painted. I thought it looked cool. Completely random though as I am by no means a photographer.
Aside from this car being remarkably fun to drive now after all of the mods, I think the other thing I struggle with replacing this car is the fact that I think it really looks good from every angle. I know that is a very subjective thing, but I think most people would agree that it is hard to give up a good looking car that is fun to drive.
I was trying to get a picture of the reflective shine this weekend after claybarring the car and using Seal & Squeal from Lithium Products. And it occurred to me just now, this is a pretty good perspective on the rear wheel fitment. 10" wide and perfectly flush (IMO).
Well that's an interesting change. Does the steering feel any different? I think I could get by without cruise control and bluetooth, but not having volume or the ability to switch tracks would be annoying at first. Then there is the issue of no airbag, but then again it's not like my Sparcos have them either. What made you make the change and did you have any issues- maybe with not being able to plug anything into that wheel?
I kind of like how the circular collar sits on the rounded, 4-sided base of the steeling column plastics. I'm not sure why I like that, but that's my first impression. I also like the bling of the 6 little Allen bolts, and the brushed, black aluminum spokes. Don't really care for the nismo cap, because of the whole dipped-in-resin look. And I would lose my mind forgoing access to the controls on the OEM wheel.
But overall... pretty cool. Why did you do this?
I also like your little air freshener.
Have you ever looked into the whole aftermarket for nuts & bolts? With the black, brushed aluminum look of those spokes, I bet you those allen bolts would look fantastic in a polished titanium. Be a heck of a detail.
