Creating Some Street Presence

[Adz2332]

Ok i know most of you will have a shot at me and say its stupid etc etc

But im looking at making my GTR 33 skyline stand out a bit more or give it some "Street Presence". You know stand out...

A new paint job is out as i dont have funds stretching that far....

and im not into huge over the top kits.

I just dont know what to do....

I have a set of grey work XD9s to go on... but aprat from that im up in the air...

below is a side pic of my car.... (boring) and a couple more ummm exciting cars lol.. not nessererly want the stickers every where etc but just shows how boring mine looks in comparison.

[Adz2332]

anyone got any pics as ideas etc

[-FIGJAM-]

id lower, thro on some chrome wheels, carbon fiber hood, a decent kit would go alright, nothing too outrageous simple but different if u get me. Ummm u could go a racing wing, but could look a bit ghey if u went to over the top with it. Dark as legal tinted windows (even with a slight purple tinge to it could look nice).

Just some ideas. New paint would be cool in my opinion but just me, and i know funds are hard, but ur driving a GTR so if your gonna do it do it right from the start??

Hit it up with some stickers like the orange machine up there. Get the xd9's on and hit the paint work with wax after a good wash, Wax it for the next week as often as possable (wash every time in between) will turn the paint into glass finish. Makes everyone look when its reflective.

Another tip, drive at sunset or sunrise as the angle of the sun makes the car look nice.

If its a R33 just get some rear pods and side skirts fitted up and paint them 400r bar at the front will set it off nicely but I rather like the stocker too. will cost about $1000 or less all up.

A massive exhaust will make people look too but I think thats really reserved for rotaries.

put new rims on, carbon fiber hood with some form of fins or something, lower it a little bit, and paint the calipers! (only if you want to i guess, but would stand out more gold or red or something)

kinda cheap for the output imo

[UNR33L]

oh and get some gauges but tasteful not ricey ones.

[Adz2332]

Yer defiantly nees a polish....

and got the titanium exhaust tip...

will defiantly paint the calapiers before i get it the wheels on. was thinking red and getting some work anodised wheel nuts in red to match it...?

Twin TO4Z turbo's

Coilovers, frount carbon lip and wing blade

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

an air horn goin off will give it some street presence.. also fluro pink..

if you aint gonna paint or stickers like those in the pics.. ain't gonna get the street presence.. but a tasteful GTR has a presence anyway.. some nice wheels and coloured calipers, aftermarket bonnet will give it some appeal and distinctiveness without breaking the bank

[Adz2332]

yer i mean i cant afford a paint job... mayb new kit.. or mayb stickers but i havent seen a gtr that i like with that kind of thing... plus its easy for it to go so so wrong! lol

i dont know what this kinda thing costs but getting some airbrushing or as you said, using a vinyl would be a cheaper option but not as perfect, to get some graphics on like that of the black 350z in tokyo drift in a subtle color, something close to the color of your car perhaps

[Adz2332]

do you have a pic of that 350z?

[Adz2332]

id love so ideas especially on darker coloured cars like mine

[GTS4WD]

I suppose it may be a little "ricey" but can be pulled of very nicely..

You have XD9's which arw a great rim. Why not try the pergormance parts brand name down the front of the doors?

Looks pretty decent if you ask me..

I feel like a bit of a hippocrit though.. I beleive if you dont have the parts in your car.. dont adversite you do have them.. but no one is going to know I suppose.

- put new rims on

- lower it

- look at the simple things, like carbon gt style mirrors

- ensure a nice exhaust note

- offset front plate

- look at BeeR carbon kit extensions - they used to be on their site, basically bolt under your kit and stick out about an inch

Here are the 2 Z's in the movie, both look quite cool, i think the styling of the gold one on a black/dark car would look really good, dark like urs
