    Well, im pretty much dead set on the future of my skittle as far as performance goes. not going to do anything drastic performance wise or looks wise. funds are pretty much lacking at best with the baby, one income family, etc.

    as far as performance goes, im looking to get a MPx big FMIC, OBX hard pipes, S1 ECU, S2 gate. it wont get me any crazy numbers, but i hope ill be satisfied.

    as far as looks goes, ive been thinking about it, and i didn't wanna have a 'common' look so i came up with a few things to give it the uniqueness im looking for. some people will say YUK, some people may like it.

    i'm going with matte black Commemoritve style stripes, a DIY front lip, and matte black front Facia. I also am picking up some rims that aren't so skinny like stock. they are konig runaways in 17x8.

    anyway, here is a quick chop of what it should generally look like in a few months.

    BEFORE: (current pic)

    AFTER: (the stock rims are roughly the color of the runaways, but i didn't bother trying to chop the rims at that angle.)

    here is a pic of the rims.

    It may look better with silver stripes instead of black because of the generic brand feel to it's look. The front air dam is totally Evo-esque though. I think the Nissan's are like that too now.

    You broke the lip? That sucks man. Hood looks hot maybe you can find a lip made from eurethane so its a bit more forgiving.
