Hmmmmm yeah,abit. Confused Confused
I just really like that look on nismo's D3. 8) 8)
Problem is ...people are already thinking its a D4 from the back....if i go for it then it will look like a D4 from the front. Confused 8) Very Happy
Already loving my new xenons...wow what a difference!! 8) 8)
As you can see from my profile list, i keep spending money on her!! Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

If you send AlanG a PM, I'm sure he'll take you through how he did his, very similar to nismos though!
