dfr867 10-26-2009, 04:32 PM I added some pictures of my X. After all the help I received yesterday, I figured the two members that helped me out (look for that post), they deserved to look at the ride! Soooooo...here it is. Not here! I posted to my profile.

Soon you will be the master... But first you must be the learner. LOL. jclmaster 10-26-2009, 06:57 PM You have a sweet looking X! And it looks brand new! Did you paint the NISSAN on the fairing with a brush? vandebogart 10-26-2009, 07:05 PM Nice X! what wheels are those? dfr867 10-26-2009, 07:17 PM Ok...lets talk about the lettering first...whoever the previous owner was decided, in the infinite wisdom, to brush the letters with model paint. This was fine if you were say, standing 15ft away from it. Being a perfectionist, I didn't like it...sooooo...I repainted the entire piece with the same paint I used on all the trim and bumpers...Dupont makes a "flexible" paint designed for bumpers and such. After that I taped all the letters up and used a yellow "flexible" paint on them. The result was better than I thought it would be: http://www.cityparkcycles.com/images/nissan.jpg As for the wheels...I gotta tell you this story. I needed to put rubber on the thing so I went to Pep Boys...you know..buy 3 get one free? Well..these $100 tires turned into a $620 quote. Well...that kinda ticked me off...so I went to Discount Tire on 485/ 49 in Charlotte NC. They helped me pick out an aggressive tire and I went with it. Well, my wife and kids were with me so we went down to do some shopping while the rubber was put on the truck. Well I get this call about 15 minutes later from a guy at Discount Tire. He asks me if I had seen the red tent out front and that they sold wheels too. I'm sitting here in my head going "I know where this is going...sales pitch time right?" So he tells me that he's short on his quota and that hes willing to give me new, 16" wheels and upgrade my tires for free! After asking whos kids I was going to have to take home he assured me that it was on the up and up...well...there they are...wheels and tires for $532 and I even got a $30 mail in rebate. If your close to Charlotte...look these guys up... http://www.cityparkcycles.com/images/wheel.jpg | ||
