New parts! Spoiler, black mirror covers, repainted grill and eyelids, stickerbombed A and B pillars (still a WIP so no great closeups)

But all is not great. My wing came with several scuffs and cracks and imperfections, which shouldn’t exist on a 400 dollar part. I emailed Kaminaris customer service about returning it and was met with one word answers. Enough to make me feel sketchy about sending it back, the only full response I got was that they needed to assess and fix the problem themselves. So what if they decide the damage occured post-install? I’m out the money I paid plus the money I spent to send it back and I’m not sure I’d get the original spoiler back anyway. I chose to put it on because most of the damage is on the underside and really not visible once installed unless you’re REALLY looking.

I’m really thinking about new wheels and a carbon fiber hood next. Also want some small fender flares, nothing fancy just something that can be 3M taped on.

Not yet, I found a door in the right color in florida on a wrecked car but the scrap yard wanted 300 for the door and another 200 to ship to a freight depot for me to pickup.

The funny thing about the cube is they were pretty old in Japan I think by the time they gave it to the US, because I remember them for awhile when I lived there. Then I came back to Hawaii and years later Nissan was like, look a new car! People were, oh it’s not symmetrical weird! Yeah like late 90's.

Yea there have been 3 generations now, the second gen is what people here really wanted but Nissan gave us this model and it was quite a flop.

Oh I see, I bet I’ve seen the 3rd gen and not even noticed too, I go back once or twice a year.

I am still not used to your avatar being not Rob Ford. I am a fan of the Cube and your individualization of your Cube.

Dead center Morris County.

Edison isn’t too bad a drive though, 35-45 minutes or so.
