It came from the states and i did get hit with £15 import tax, but oh well. Link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173476610749 It looked great and in 2 minutes i had it installed. It fitted perfectly. The one thing i wasnt happy with however was the rugged top edge which just didnt look good and I really wanted an OEM look, like it had always been there. I then had the idea of sawing off the top of the heated seats switch panel and then sawing off and sanding the middle separater bar bits in the middle. This would then theoretically give me an OEM looking top to the cubby. So i got to work... It came out brilliantly and all i needed to do after sanding the inside was give it a quick spray in black. I then cut the lip off the cubby and glued my new lip onto it. It worked perfectly and it now looks completely OEM. Before and After my custom lip: In my zed there's a button for boot release in that pannel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidv10 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 I finally got around to putting my MK1 Nismo spoiler onto the car. I kept meaning to do this, but kept putting it off. The MK2 Nismo spoiler is definitely a lot better than the standard GT spoiler, but i just think the MK1 spoiler is the best by far. Im so happy with it, and it really goes well with the Nismo MK2 bodykit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Have you done the GTR RED starter button mod. (Photo below is the stock) Changing my gear knob and the starter button swap were the first two things I did on mine.

Ekona Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 You’re worried about the warranty, yet have changed the spoiler (bang goes the paint and body) and the steering wheel (ditto the electrics and steering). Very odd. I jest, neither makes a difference either way. Looks good mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
