both are really nice, but the second is very sharp, I love it!!!! wish mine looked that great

only one lil detail that would help, paint your upper radiator support, the rusty steel draws from the awesome look, and get your header cerama-coated

Thanks for the compliments! The hatch was quite a bit quicker but my em1 is just way ahead as far as classiness..haha

It took about 200 stickers and about an hour and a half. It looked pretty sick when it was all said and done but definitely left a horrible glare on the windshield. I sold the car about 3 weeks after doing that so I didn't have to lift with it very long.

The upper radiator support has been painted as well as cleaned and clear coated the engine bay. The timing gear cover has since been cut off as well to show off the BuddyClub gears haha. I've been toying with the idea of deleting the a/c and power steering but can't decide if I want to be just a half a hair quicker or keep it more refined. But once again thanks for the compliments!

I live in Indiana so there's hot summers and cold winters. The power steering wouldn't bother me that much at all. I just try to consider what that might affect when I go to sell it. If the engine bay is gutted most people would assume it's been all hacked up. As far as the hood goes, I've considered painting it all red so it's carbon but looks factory or masking off the "Rogue Status" pattern on it and painting so that there is just carbon guns showing through but those are all things down the road. Right now I'm busy doing gearhead work to it. It needs tuned sooo bad and I just got done installing the new PIC Apex coilovers. They ride AMAZING!!! They put the Skunk2's that were on the hatch to shame!
