The only thing I see wrong with this video is the extreme lack of turbochargers!

Thanks for the comment, "My Lil' Pony." I guess my car suffers from the same thing as yours, a lack of a Turbocharger. You must be new to import, because your car is a V4, like mine. That means we would only have one turbo, not multiple. The video is about the exterior customization, not the engine. I guess something so obvious is hard for you to comprehend, but I forgive your ignorance.
Try putting those turbochargers on the 3 weak brake calipers on your car. Maybe now they will be more powerful.

The Vis kit was $400. The paint/clear/activator was around $300. I received discounts from old friends in the industry. I use to work for a customizing shop. All the work was done by me. So around $700 is what I paid. This does not include the materials used (i.e. bondo, fiberall, fiberglass, resin, putty knifes, sand paper, paper, tape, etc.) in order to complete this job. I will have to look for the receipts and get back to you. I guesstimate it was around $100-150, but remember I received discounts.

Sorry, I should not have been such an A-hole. Thanks for the props. The engine does have some work done on it, but no turbo. When I get more time I will build the engine and install a turbo. Probably in the next year.

101: I still cant get over how nice that build turned out. Looks like quality work, and thats what always stands out to me.

BTW: How many threads did you create with this video? I'm not sure, but posting identical threads in different areas may not be a good practice on these boards.

3, because I'm a new user and my ride is 1st gen and its modified. So it wouldn't really be considered spam. I am hoping to get views from people who only look at certain threads and those that look at all.

i am gonna be doing a body kit on my 93 next year. all the body kits i find for it appear as though you need to cut the fenders and rear quarters to acomodate the wrap around bumpers. is this true? if so, any advice, your car turned out SWEET dude.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it . No cutting of the quarter or front part of fender. This gives the kit more structural support. Otherwise the kit will flap in the wind (ghetto). If your want it to be smooth (where kit meets car) you need to mold it (using material of our choice). Depending on the kit (model) you will remove the rear foam bumper support and cut the front FRP bumper support in order for proper fitment.

Good thing I didn't ask you. If you didn't notice (I am sure you did) I was answering nissanspeeder, and not you "Dykeey0692". Generally, when someone comments after displaying a quote, it is because they are trying to answer the person's question or reply to a comment. I understand your a lil young and a newbie when it comes to this stuff, so I will disregard it. Next time your trying to reach your first 5 posting so you can upload your mommy and daddy bought car, you should do it on another thread. I can't wait to see your stock ride, because I know your the type to just throw on rims and then call it custom. Come back when you have learned to do something with your car, other than just look at it.

You're a moron. Your car has in inline four, not a 'V4.'

As well, you can add as many turbochargers as you want to any engine. It may not be the best solution for most applications but there are twin turbo SR20's out there as an example.

And you wasted your money with what you did. And your editing skills are mediocre at best.
