No not really :)
Looks nice though.

I have ordered a new set of arch trims to take a mould off them and make some grp, carbon, kevlar trims but wont be till the start of next year.
I know other people is going to be doing the same too but just want my own moulds so I dont have to wait on others. ;-)

how about some 240z style overfenders ?
front canards ?
undertray and splitter?
rear diffuser that fits a full muffler that sits in the stock location?

I'm on the way to having a full set of production moulds for arches...
Front canards are on the list.
Undertray and splitter is being developed too, i have 3 bumper designs to make...
As for the diffuser, having the exhaust exit on the other side of the car is a better flowing layout and what I've done on mine, it allows a full diffuser to be fitted...full diffuser is also being developed...
There are not enough hrs in the day to make everything I have in my head lol

Bond on GRP arch trims sound like a great plan.

LH exit exhaust seems like a must to have a decent sized back box without doing a loop D loop just to have tailpipe on right side. I have a stubby 12"x5", 3" bore back box but the cut and shut pipe angles are crap for flow and the box is still not really big enough for acceptable noise levels anyway.

That's the first arch out of the mould for the front.





And that's how I've done my exhaust so a full diffuser fits.

Thanks for all your responses, have located a good second hand set now.


Are there any area meetings that go on, or general get togethers?

I never really understood why Nissan did the exhaust out the drivers side, it makes much more sense coming out on the passenger side, I did this on my last pulsar as well.
