i want to but with the 4c, i am not sure of the route to go. there is not much solid info on here and a whole lot of douches on SS.

In the past its been mentioned that there's a fuse you can pull to disable receiving a code from the missing 4C components, but no mention of which one.

Wagon looks good, should be interesting to watch where you take it from here

No need to pull fuses to simply lower the car, you just need lowering springs. Evolve/Elevate lowering springs offer the most drop (~2") and the worst ride, TMEs offer the least drop (~1") and the best ride. Eibachs are the "in between" option, and are pretty popular on SS R Forum.

After lowering, you'll need a SUM calibration to keep the headlights working proper and other fun stuff, but yeah. Once you get into deleting the 4C shocks, thats when you start messing with electronic foolers etc.

Wrong transmission, right color, right amount of wagony-ness.

tough to find a 05+ VR in m66 flavor for a decent price with the right color combo. just wait till you are in the market for one!

You will want a 05+, the 04's have the ugly dash, the unpainted trims, and the ugly tails

example:

05 M66 120K needs clutch and other work $11k erie pa

04 m66 95k dealer in seattle $14k

04 m66 140k new hampshire $13k

06 M66 135k PA $14k

Mine 05 auto 150k with stacks of reciepts almost 1/2 of the cheapest m66 listed above :P you get the idea :)

Looks good!

What LEDs did you use?

where? i have 14 different areas that have various different LEDs from 9 SMD panels, to 20 SMD LED strips that i use on my plate lights and front foot well ones :P
