I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Yes, however if the guy actually painted his car I'm sure he (I should say she, could be a broad) wouldn't mind painting the rivets.

Sad thing is he(she) didn't even need overfenders, the widest those wheels come is 10"s. All they needed was a roll, so, your thoughts of "pure function hottness" are unfounded in truth.

I was planning on Origin widebody while converting to Sileighty. Talking with TF it wasn't necessary.

haha good points, but i wasn't really talking about that specific application. i didn't even notice what kind of wheels were on it, i just meant in general, i can see why people would just throw in rivets and paint over them - assuming they would use the car for track purposes and use wheels that suit the widebody. haha, i guess i've been over-analized and 0wn3d.

oh, and who is this "TF" you speak of?
if nissan motorsports is nismo, does that mean honda motorsports is homo?

This car wouldn't happen to be from CT is it? Has a web address for ctdrifting.com on the front lip of the car? If so, this along with a white S13 FB/SR I met last summer while visiting a friend. the car has quite a bit of rust under the riveted wide body. It used to have an S15 front end on it before he changed it this season with a 180SX Type X looking front end.

Under the hood this car is sick and it makes a lot of power. A spool LSD too. The guy that owns it pretty much taught his whole neighborhood how to swap an SR.
