On Sept. 11, 2005, I added patriotic flames to the sides of Lola. They helped get me through the Marshall Law road blocks.

In May 2006, I powdercoated my 35th anniversary wheels black in protest of Nissan stocking them on every 06 model in addition to a very special acknowledgement to the pricks at my dealer.

I also upgrade the prick to glow-in-the-dark green.

Robin, I had no idea you had so much done to your car in detail like that. Looks great man! Keep up the good work. The Burnt Orange accents work 100% for your ride, it's tasteful and not overdone at all!

Got Nordschleife?
Hey man, where'd you get that stencil of the 'Ring? I'd love a set of those to put under the side Z-emblems.
Have you seen this Nurburgring webcam? Its a web cam showing the entrance to the "open days" pits. Out of shot in the top left is a cafe, inside the pit area itself.
That's where the stencil is from.
You can get them from eBay though, or if you can find someone with a vector drawing outline of the 'ring you can get any dude with a sticker machine to make it up for you.

I feel your pain here, still curious why nissan decided to do this...but it looks much better on yours as the spokes carve around the brembo calipers. Love the door handle mod!On Sept. 11, 2005, I added patriotic flames to the sides of Lola. They helped get me through the Marshall Law road blocks.

I got a trunk pop switch from an Altime along with a small piece the wire harness.
1. Remove the lower dash panel by removing the three screws on the far ends of the panel. The screw on the left is hidden behind the left side kick panel.
2. Take the switch and get two pieces of wire to extend the harness you have. Take one of the wires and ground it to the chassis. I chose to use the screw in the middle that secures the lower dash panel.
3. Remove the left hand side kick panel. After you have removed the panel look for the BCM. It will have 3 connectors coming out of it. You are looking for the large white one with more wires than the rest of the connectors.
4. Remove the white connector and look at the end where it plugs in. This is a 40 pin connector and if you count over 10 spot on the bottom you should find a pink (at least it is on a 05 model) wire.
5. Peel back a little of the insulation on this wire and attach the wire coming from your switch. I prefer to use a little solder when I do this but it is up to you. Make sure you tape the wire up really well.
6. Try out your new switch, it should work fine. It is doesnt make sure you have a good ground and that you have a good connection to the harness.
Now put everything back together and enjoy your new switch. This is setup to work just like the switch above the license plate. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. As an added side note I also moved the switch up that pops the Gas door open. I never liked having it way down there.

I will have to dig out pictures to post but I had gotten some Ice Blue Led tubes and strategically placed them in the grille area of the skirts (in front of the rear wheel), inside the door handle, inside the cabin...
When you would push the lock/unlock on the fob, the lights would come on giving light to your feet and around the handle, the interior....then they would dim and go out. it was unique.
