NSRz32 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Finally got to toss a lot of my new parts on it tonight. Love it or hate it, I think its amazing by epic proportions. Will post more pics and info tomorrow, its late and I need sleep haha Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Wow, that looks great! flare and the fender mirrors complete the package! did you cut any of the original metal when installin the flares, or just put em over? IMHO, lose the rear bumper! looks super fast except for that! nice work:thumbsup: Quote Link to comment
NSR_s30 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Definitely looks good man, I'm glad we got it all done. Got a lot accomplished tonight. That truck looks awesome. Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Looks great! I like the pics you took of it in your grow room. ;) Did you use vinyl or paint for your headlights? Edited May 20, 2009 by jefe de jefes Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Your truck looks bad ass! Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Trucks pretty good with those flares I'de have to admit. But, yeah loose the Bumper. Get a hidden hitch or somethin.... Quote Link to comment
Weaver Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 That flare/rim combination looks badass! the work definitely paid off It would look cool if the rear bumper was painted black to match the flares. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 that looks tight!! you need to lower it like 1 more inch though! Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 That 521 is sick! I love it. Have not seen any other one that looks like it. The only thing I dont like is the rear bumper. Lose that and its perfect:cool: Quote Link to comment
72 327 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 WOW that thing is awesome looking. I'm with most of the above lose the bumper. This is one of the best looking 521's I have seen. Quote Link to comment
Madness Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Nice work man! At first i thought those wheels were just covered in brake dust but I remembered your other thread. I really like the black centers with the brushed edge against those black flares, really nice contrast. A roll pan, i think, would tie it all in nicely but at that point you have to figure out what you're going to do about tail lights. sick, keep it up. by the way you inspired me to grab some 71 Colorado plates :) Edited May 20, 2009 by Madness Quote Link to comment
NSRz32 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thanks for all the compliments guys. I had this vision in my head of what I wanted the 521 to look like and it wasn't like anything I had ever seen, definitely hit the mark with this :) As for lowering it, its 3" dropped in the back and I have very little clearance. Amazingly I don't rub in the front at all and there is more gap than there is in the back so I'll probably go .5-.75" lower in the front once everything is finished up. As for the rear bumper, I was all about it when the truck was stock as it fit the old truck, but now that its lowered and flared my feelings are up in the air. I do like it black above though. I may also try to source a part of factory rear bumpers. With the flares I rolled and pulled the fenders/quarters and then mounted them up. The headlights were painted with Krylon X-metals Yellow Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Duuuude I dig how the zg's look!! Been dying to see them on 521 and the look is totally satisifying. Quote Link to comment
NSRz32 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 by the way you inspired me to grab some 71 Colorado plates :) Nice! I think it looks cool to have vintage plates on an old vehicle. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Dang man, that is AWESOME. I've had 4 520/521's and I have to say I LOVE the look of yours. Those wheels and flares make for a streetfighter 521. I would agree to loose the rear bumper, and personally I'd find some bumperettes. They'd ad to the JDM look of your mirrors. Leave the ride height alone, looks perfect where it is. Quote Link to comment
NSRz32 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Anybody have a set of bumperettes with hardware laying around they want to sell? Quote Link to comment
NSR_s30 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Dude, I have to admit I'm a little mixed on the bumper now as well. I'm still thrilled with what we got accomplished. No other 521 I've ever seen has ever come close to that. Quote Link to comment
Phirus Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I kinda like the diamond plat wrap around. Are my eyes tricking me or is the rear end higher? you know, hot rod look. Quote Link to comment
