i am doing the whole 2 tone thing. i just got quater window louvers, and the lower scoops too, same ones 06elnr has. and i got FR500 Motorsport Wheels with Ultra High Performance S-Series Tires, 255 in front 285 in rear. The rims and tires are still on their way because i just ordered them this mourning. Now another question, where can i get good lowering springs that lower the whole car 2 inches?

I would go for it, its not everyday you come across 2 tone and the biggest thing to remember is its your car, do what you like and not others...I am sure I will hear how ugly mine looks to some but oh well!

Thanks and when the time comes I will PM you!

06SCGT- car looks great and I cant see how anyone would not like the look of 2-tone. To each their own and your right who really cares what others think about your car....make it your own in your minds eye and enjoy!

ok, i have the sportlines in my car as of now, i have the rims on, the scoops, and now i have to wait 4 days for the paint job, then i can take pictures. i went with a 2 tone black on top, my stock maroon on bottom. paintjob cost me $500, which i think is a really good price
