christ, didn't realize how much larger an r33 gtr would be than a 7. Of course I do get semi-claustrophobic after driving my pickup and then getting back in the fd

No, actually, it's not simply because it's "J-spec".

Those "Non conforming" lines and jet-out for the license plate is to "Conform" with laws, essentially, that we can't avoid. Are you about to complain about the FD's rear bumper having an inlay for the rear license plate?

The rest of the bumper is round, and functional. That front lip serves as a good way to keep cone damage to the lip only (think: autox, my car has been autox'd and the only cone scuff marks are on the lip, not the bumper), and is exactly what it is, a lip, so it shouldn't look "molded" to some degree....

Any and every other front end does something odd or has holes for no reason.

Mike, I thought Chuck's V-mount came with a Griffon racing radiator. Did you just switch it out to be unique, or did you have issues with the Griffon unit? I haven't heard of any issues with it from any other FD owners running that unit. I appreciate any input bro.

Looks good man. Must be nice when you got connections and get free paint! What ever happened to your head light kits? Why did you switch to OEM? What ever happened to your old front mount set up?! Just wondering.

yes it is

my re lights were sold to travisorixrex on this forum

switch to oem cuz i knew that i was goin single and the intentions in gettin the induction headlight

but im making my own light kit (very cost effective)

my fmic went to shaq in the UK, he said that they go for over 3k there not including the koyo i sent over also

thanx again guys

Can you post a pic without the bumper? I'd like to see how you have your radiator set up.


Thanks
