Where's the red brake calipers. Very smart car. I'm getting some 5 spoke black wheels for mine asap. They do look good.

Side Steps are available from 4 x4 who are based in Derby. Easy to fit and no drilling. Look at the ones fitted to mine in the gallery. £225

Yes, unless the window is all the way down.

I've always fitted the external ones and experienced reduced noise and ability to crack the window in heavy rain and not get covered in rain.

Hello sduk, very nice project!

I have one question! I saw you changed the size of the tires and the new ones are higher, how does it work with the electronic programs? Don't you have nay problems with ESP, ABS, etc.?

Another small update. Continued with my plastidip addiction and covered the chrome window surrounds. Didn't take too long to do and again was so simple, I don't know why it took me so long to do....

Love it tempted from the beginning to do this let us know how the plastidip fairs in daily use. This is how Nissan should've released the black edition in the first place!

will do, its really tough stuff, I've washed the front and back badges numerous times and they are fine. I'm just careful not to put the powerwasher too close just incase.

I'm sure the sides will be the same, its amazing how you just peel it off and its a perfect cut around the trim.
