SR20DETdatsun510 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 It's a Sequencer Box for lights And Still, not feeling the box flared 510. I think it has allot to do with how gradual the rear fender blends with the body. Too sharp of a blend (or lack of) or too big of a flare looks too un-natural. Looks like a shelf and not a flare. Also how low it is and wheel fitment play huge parts in pulling off box flares. I think color really has a major effect visually on the flares. One color can make it too obvious and stark while another color can help to blend all the lines. For me it is mostly how the rear is executed. I def do not like the big fuel door cutout on the side. Just my thing.... if you are going to do flares at all, custom ZG's are the way to go.... Quote Link to comment
troyt Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 That black box is a 'sound control module' from the new BMW M5 that pumps 'engine and exhaust sounds' over the stereo system so that you can 'hear the perfomance' even with the windows up. Interesting application for a Datsun however... Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 is that the voice box from the Z :huh: aka bitching betty +10 internets to eagle adam :lol: fun fact : the bitching betty was before digital recording and it actually has a little vinyl record in it for all the voice commands (thus why the sticker on it says "dont drop" lol) Quote Link to comment
