| i will save you the wonderful rainbow story on how i got by b15, but will narrate it with pics. first got it basically. tails were on car to be originally smoked out. still have them: aem came next: then went hks catback. i love this thing!: then came the rotas, bluebat overlays(headllight, reverse lights, 3rd brake light), and clear tails to be painted candy red and smoked also( those clear tails got ran over by the pops when they were drying :rainy: : misc paint, as i painted the rear hubs, the hats on the rotors and the ghetto grille is in this one: i then at one point painted the lower grille and got eyelids as i got tired of being flashed by people when i had silverstar ultras car became a psushoe clone for about 2 weeks with the spec headlights and brigs. but i diddnt have a mach1 lip, it was a home depot one. eventually i took the home depot lip off, it looked good painted gloss black, but i would have to keep adding screws to it more and more. so it came off. here is the infamous winter storm mini meet pics. you can also see the 06 tail conversion in these with the 01 rear bumper. oh, and i sold the aem intake, and grabbed a place racing one! i then was coming back from a chicago nissan club meet for korean bbq(so good) and hit a box in the dark. i hate wisconsin for not requiring insurance. eyelids came off the car as they, and apparently the pops threw them away thinking it was a part of the bumper :uhoh:. 03 and 06 rear conversion was turned into full effect. i also sold the rotas. i then had spec headlights and they broke on a trip from madison as wi roads suck. the reflector came off completely in the passenger side headlight. and that pretty much sums it up for the most part. | |

| plans are to paint the roof gloss black( clear is starting to bubble), sand down and paint the misc spots where people have hit me, and replace suspension pieces as maintenance (ball joints, tie rod ends, springs and struts) | |

| Looks, good, where is all this rust on "captain rust"?
It could be worse, we could have older dodge/chrysler paint. Theirs flakes off so all you see is primer. I am sure you guys have seen some neons and such running around looking like cows with random large spots of primer showing. LOL | |

| The rust is in all 4 doors, the trunk, rear side panels behind the skirts front strut towers, and the rad support. The rear beam bushings are also rusted in there as well. It's starting under the door ding protectors as well. All door seals must be replaced. I will have a lot of fun prepping this car for a new paint job this spring. | |

| Trunk appears to still be aligned. How fast was the hit? Doesn't look terrible. $4200, | |

| trunk was hit, and it latches, but is really unsafe now that it was hit. would be pointless to paint it rusted. its the labor that is expensive, as its 20 hours alone to replace the trunk floor | |
